Last year we carried MSR stoves requiring liquid fuel. The fuel from
Philmont was free as it was surplus from crews that had just come off the
trail and had turned it back in in order to avoid dumping. The fuel worked
well the entire trip. I think we added one bottle during the trek and, as
it turned out, we didn't actually need it so we turned it in at basecamp for
the next crew to use for free.

Subject: [Philmont]: Philmont Provided Equipment
This is from my complete equipment list posting:
Philmont Optionally Provided Items: If needed, Philmont will provide
the following items to any crew, without charge (i.e., it's included in
the fees):
Backpacker's Shovel, bear-bags (5 - 7 nylon weave seed-bags),
bear-bag
rope (100 foot long, plus an "oops" rope and "oops" carabiner), cleaning
gear (CampSuds, a sump "frisbee", 2 green scrubbies, a rubber policeman,
and 4-6 trash-bags), cook-kits (2, somewhat abbreviated), matches (1
box), a salt, pepper, and sugar kit, a tarp and 2 expandable tarp poles,
plus parachute cord (but no stakes!, must bring 10 heavy-duty stakes for
the tarp), tents (but again, no stakes!, must bring 8 stakes for each
tent), 2-3 rolls of toilet paper, a bottle of Purell, an abbreviated
utensil kit (including 1 hot-pot tongs), water purification tablets
(Micro-Pur), and a handful (6 - 10) of 1-gallon size zip-lock bags. As
noted above, the TP, Polar Pure, Purell, a sump "frisbee", and a rubber
policeman, are given to each Crew whether they need or want it or not;
however, if you already have these items, you can store the Philmont
provided gear in your BaseCamp locker.
Philmont will also provide the following items, as needed, for purchase
or rental:
Backpacks (rental), Coleman fuel (purchase, 2005 price was roughly
1.00/pint (seemed to vary depending on where you got it), Gaz and
PowerMax also available, and stoves (Coleman Peak Ones, rental). Rental
prices are reasonable, but - beware! - repair/replacement costs are
exorbitant!
Finally, also note that many other routine items (e.g., clothing
items,
batteries, canteens, compasses, fuel bottles, LED headlamps, knives,
maps, mess-kits, ponchos, spice kits, Ridge-Rests or Therm-a-Rests,
water jugs, many, many others) are available for purchase from the
Basecamp trading post, and - but to a much lesser extent - at some
backcountry trading posts. Prices are high but not ridiculous.
