Butane is, in my understanding, cleaner burning than liquid fuel. So which model do you recommend? What kind of burn time does S cartridge give you? Add all the usual questions?


Hi,
Unless you're using the stoves for space heating (6 hours at a time no ventilation),
whatever stoves you're using,
carbon monoxide should be manageable with windows/door ventilation
(1 hour cooking 3 a day day)
especially above ground level (more wind )


If you're using smelly fuels (kerosene, briquettes...)
and you're still smelling that
or smelling smoke
after the stove gets going (5-10min),
you might want to take that outside like 25 feet away from building

Some info about carbon monoxide and ventilation and legal pants smile

You may want to include a vehicle repair kit. My car kit includes:
  • Basic tools
  • Reflectors
  • Gloves, roll of towels
  • Gas can (empty)
  • Tire wrench
  • Air foot pump
  • Portable battery jump starter pak
  • Jumper cables
  • Spare fuses, Duct tape, Wire, Extra hose clamps, Tire repair kit (as well as keeping up the air pressure in the spare tire)
  • I thought about adding a quart of oil and a quart of windshield washer fluid but haven't gotten around to that yet.
Let's face it, if I can't repair my vehicle with these basic items then the repairs are simply beyond my ability and a call for service is required!

I also carry my hard hat, hi-vis vest, hearing and eye protection, and work boots due to my job requirements. laugh
