Re: Two people on one side of a big mid?
I don't believe you will have a problem. You can offset the pole as molej suggested. Floor space really is not an issue. Drips from the terp can splash back pretty good. As molej was saying, ...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Carbon Monoxide vs Burner Clearerance
Roger, yupper. I seem to remember about 2000C but not an exact number for most alkanes. Chances are, at 6400K they were looking at nitrogen compounds, too...probably why they used pure O2. Ye...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Carbon Monoxide vs Burner Clearerance

Re: Carbon Monoxide vs Burner Clearerance

Re: Re: Re: Re: Bugs
September/October are, arguably, the best of seasons to be up there. Fewest bugs, if any following a cold snap. Still some foilage, good leaves, honking geese. But, not too many little creatures fo...

Re: Re: Bugs
Ha, ha...don't show her. Before the white man came to America, there were few people that *lived* there. I cannot say that this has changed that much. It remains sparsely settled. Poor soil ...

Trail Designs Caldera Stove
Great little piece of gear. Light, easy to use, miserly on fuel. Keeps the heat in on the pot and does a great job of boiling water. I will complain that it does not let enough heat out sometimes......
