Default suggestions for a stove?

? A Coleman stove using Coleman fuel is a PITA to say the least.

wooooooo - relax - what a PITA - I admit I'm wrong - I'm not familar
with the situation and only mentioned it because another guy mentioned
a propane stove - easy Tarzan! Why are you so mad? It's not me who hurt
you. Relax - relax - relax.

Do you understand - relax - just have the common sense to post a msg
that a coleman stove is not a good idea - don't get all upset and feel
the need to use "PITA" in such a ridiculous manner. What's wrong with
you? Did you're wife leave you? No one limkes you? Esteem issues?
Whatever it is - it's not my fault.


Jim:

Why on earth would would you take such offense at such an innocuous
post? I agree with Thom, Coleman stoves using Naphtha are a pain in the
ass. Heck, they're a PITA on dry land, I'd much rather use a portable
propane stove.

FWIW. (For What It's Worth [contributing to your education here]), I
have an alcohol stove, but I also have a folding propane stove and a
Force 10 propane barbecue on the stern pulpit; they can use the same
disposable 1 lb. canisters. The canisters are easy to stow topsides and
prevent the build up of heavier than air propane in the cabin.

BTW, try not to take every response as a personal attack, some of us
just tend to be a bit terse.

Cheers
Marty
