I can see that it would be nice for those who
have to have coffee to function. I have not
tried that yet on anyone.


Wht not just use a thermos? Lots less hassle....


That's where you should keep your rum. Mixed with the coffee, of
course.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.


I prefer Bailey's in my coffee....


We used to sail from Gulfport harbor to the Broadwater Marina, about
six miles in the dead of the winter just to get an Irish coffee at the
bar. Now we could comfortably drive to the Broadwater, but then what
would be the point?

I back pack with a group and I can tell you that anything that can cut
down the amount of fuel you have to bring on a week long backpacking
trip is going to be a big seller.

I'm wondering if that mantleless stove will work on
the partially used canisters I have laying around. I
tend to change cans when i think I'm low rather than
carrying a spare. That would be a good way to finish
off the nearly empties.

These things are pretty light Frank. I've heard that when
the fuel starts to run out they don't work as well. This is
not a problem for me in my application. Apparently the
propane in the blend burns off first, then the isobutane
becomes a problem when it is cold and at high altitude.
The issues are starting and keeping it hot and burning.
