Re: [Philmont]: Propane Stoves

We took propane/butane stoves (Gaz 270, as I recall), and they worked
just fine at altitude and in cold. We used less than 4 canisters of
fuel for our 9 member crew. I don't know what those guys were cooking,
but they were over-prepared. One fuel spill by a scout onto the
scout's pack convinced me that that propane/butane was the way to go.

> When I was a Ranger, I saw one crew over four summers that carried
single-burner propane stoves. I'm sure they're not prohibited, but I
certainly wouldn't recommend them given the better options that are
available. Each crew member carried a full propane canister with them
(that
seems like a lot of weight and bulk to me) and it seemed to work fine
for
them - I'm not sure if altitude would affect their operation or not.<
