RE: [Philmont]: Stove fuel?

I tell my guys to use the Coleman Max stoves and fuel since they are
nearly as good as any high end stove and available at Philmont. I often
get free bottles upon arriving at Philmont since the usage rate is low.
They have been available at commissaries, so the risk was low of running
out if you took too little.
 
Hope this still holds true.
 
Here are the fuel products available at TOT Traders:
 
Coleman Powermax Fuel

#1073

Philmont Price $4.25

Exponent Multi-Fuel

#1079

Philmont Price $10.00

Subject: [Philmont]: Stove fuel?

We were wondering what fuel types are available at the TOTT store and at
the back country stores and/or staff camps. One of our members just
bought a pocket rocket that only uses the MSR fuel cylinders. I told
him that though the idea was great in regards to stove weight, he would
need to carry probably several cylinders with him over the ten day
period. He's thinking you can purchase the fuel at the trading posts in
the backcountry, but I don't remember seeing that as an option in 2004.
Any input?
