Thanks for sharing your experience with AvGas. Sounds about like what I would expect.

Yeah, the XGK isn't exactly the gourmet cook's stove, is it? It's a great rough and ready stove for trips into rough areas, but to me it's hardly a basecamp stove for fixing "real" food. I think I'd grab a Dragonfly for something like that.

Nice thing about the XGK though is that it "takes a licking and keeps on ticking" as they say.

The XGK EX has a reputation for not being able to simmer as well as older versions of the XGK, particularly pre-shaker jet version of the older XGK's. Try it some time and let us know how it goes. That simmer plate that you have from your outback oven will definitely help.
