What Camping Stove Burner Should I get?

Thursday, April 1st, 2010 at 11:48 pm

I am looking into some camping gear, specifically a camping stove to get for a 4 night camping trip in the Banff/Jasper/Glacier/Zion area's. Mostly summer camping, not at extreme elevations.

I see two types, liquid fuel type, and lpg fuel type.
I understand that you must prime the liquid type fuels, and like the fact that i can refill very cheap with fuels such as gasoline, whereas the lpg (gas) type are in non-refillable canisters.

Any up's or down's to each?
I will probable buy from the Mec website, any suggestions?

This particular instrument is the world's first hank-drum. NEWS: THE 1ST PANTHEON STEEL "HALO" HAS BEEN RELEASED & A VIDEO OF IT CAN BE SEEN AT: www.youtube.com ................................................................. Just noodling around on an invention of mine, the propane-tank hank drum, which is in the scale of D minor pentatonic (D/ACDFGac). This is not a hang drum, but is in the tongue-drum family. It's notes are arranged very much like a real hang drum & it's a terribly fun instrument to play. I have another short video clip of this instrument on YouTube as well at: youtube.com Full information on building one of these is on my webpage at: DennisHavlena.com Dennis Havlena - northern Michigan GREAT NEWS: although a real, Swiss-made hang drum is extremely difficult to obtain these days, Pantheon Steel, a maker of beautiful steel drums ("steel pans") is just starting to sell their version of the Hang drum called the HALO hand-pan. See halo.pantheonsteel.com for details. They have a demo video & the Halo sounds beautiful! Later note: also see this youtube video: www.youtube.com
