Stove Stuff

The question came up (in conversation) the other day about whether I cook outdoors. Below is how it frequently happens; I was surprised at how much fuel I save by using Eggbert as a windblock.








Note re-purposed Avengers lunchbox now doing duty as a medicine cabinet (under platform).


It's a Coleman Triton with the piezo-igniter. The knobs aren't screwed on and within the first week one disappeared. When I wrote and complained, they sent a whole new stove.


While perusing their $150.00 model I noticed they'd done away with the side windscreens and added circular ones around the burner. I copied the idea using 5-inch tin.  








This $13.00 fuel filter from Sportsmans' Warehouse eliminated the need for ANY downstream cleaning.

I'm slowly replacing the stainless with silverplate

    1. Stop by anytime; always plenty to go around. I enjoyed your list of things different in Germany. I envy you and hope to get "home" again soon.

    2. Yes, after visiting the Yukon and discovering the Canadian Boy Scouts' recipe for Bannock ther was no stopping me. But I have yet to try making doughnuts.
