Hi, Rich,

I have to say that the ability to dial up or dial down the flame is really nice. I was really impressed that I could do something tricky like an omelet on the stove. This is a pretty darned good cooking stove.

Ah. Good point. Yes, I think you could use the simmer control with gloves on. I'll have to try that.

Trangia,i think, made a full size alcohol stove that did this,too bad they don't have them anymore.i did see one in action a few years ago and you could roll it around on the ground and the fuel would not spill out,super safe after seeing the flare ups with some of the new stoves.

Interesting -- I just came across their website earlier this week so the time is perfect. They unabashedly claim to make the best alcohol stove on the market.

Interesting. I've not heard of that. Do you know what it was called?

It's got the best simmering arrangement on any stove I've yet seen. I've seen other stoves that simmer well, but none that have a cable so you can control it without reaching in and re-setting the stove.

It's like the difference between 4WD on the fly vs. having to get out on a wet, snowy day to set the hubs on your 4WD vehicle.

I haven't physically seen one, but I'd look at their XL stove too. The XL seems very similar but has more robust pot supports.

What strong taste?
I use Everclear as my fuel of choice because it is compleatly non-toxic, and does not impart any flavor to food...

Uhhh, unless you were talking about the strong taste of the food???

lol.

Yes, I was referring to Goat cheese.

But you are correct, cooking with Everclear (as a fuel) doesn't taint the food.
