hot stuff.


I got gas and tried out my Coleman Outlander stove this week. I plan to take the kids camping in May or June for a night or two at a time, so it'll get a proper try-out then. It lights easy enough with the firesteel (sparks drop down from a firesteel so it's safer than a lighter and won't blow out like matches) and burns fiercely. The adjuster knob doesn't reduce the flame until the last quarter turn, but with a wee bit of practice I should be able to get anything from roaring furnace to simmering warmth.

I fancy a primus eta power pot, but i'll have to measure the stove's pot supports to make sure it'll fit.
