The stuff you are talking about (Sterno or other trade names) is a gelled alcohol. It does not burn hot enough to cook with, and in fact it barely keeps stuff warm. If you want cheap and foolproof, buy the sterno stove at your local cheapo camping gear store (a folding wire cage for supporting your pot over a can of sterno) and then use 90% isopropyl alcohol for fuel in an alcohol stove or even just a tuna can. To simmer, just drop a couple rocks into the can to reduce the flame's surface area. 70% alcohol works pretty well too, and doubles as first aid antiseptic, deoderant, and fire starter. If you do spill it, it's no big deal compared to spilling gas. Note that alcohol doesn't work too well for cooking above about 5,000 feet. Then you are better off with a 'real' backpacking stove. In fact if you camp out much at all, you'll find a real backpacking stove offers much faster boiling, greater range of heat, and plenty of convenience compared to an alcohol stove. They are heavier and more expensive; the main advantages to alcohol are light weight and cheap. Bryan

I have a Hiking Stove, Dual Gas, of coarse (or should I say, D.G. for DS riding. LOL) While I Mainly carry Gasoline for the stove, and use as a back-up for the bike if needed. (my Flash lights are AA batteries, so they will work in the (hand held) GPS, Camera etc., I like it when an item, has more then one use.) But MOST of the time I "cook" when Traveling, on the bike, it's soup, stew, Hash etc. just warmed up. While I may have foil packages of, (lemon pepper) Samon, Tuna, etc. some times I want something warm, and carry or pick up a can of stew, soup, or Hash for breakfast. Then My "REAL" Meals are on the road, Lunch, dinner, or even breakfast, depending on where I stop /ed, that night. If I decide to realy "man-up", I could carry a Rat-trap, I hear they work great for catching Squirrels. Just a dab of peanut butter as bait, and tied to a string etc.. But for now, I PREFER TO FEED THEM, INSTEAD. (YA I'm a whimp, for Nature)

I use my old backpacking Coleman Peak. Dual fuel, but white gas is the way to go. Uses a separate fuel canister like my Whisperlite, which is even smaller, but the Coleman regulates the flame really well and the Whisperlite only likes full boil. I stay away from road kill and tend towards the packaged noodles/rice etc., dehydrated hash browns. Haven t had to many dehydrated backpacking packages ($$$). BUT, an occasional diner stop is indeed a welcome change. -----Original Message----- From: mark ward Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 2:35 PM To: DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com ; bryanonfire Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] NKLR: Re: Camp cooking??
