[net.misc] Camp stoves

I assume you are motorcycling with this camp stove.

My background is climbing.  I suggest either the Optimus 111 (kerosene
model) or the MSR [Mountain Safety Research] G/K (multifuel).  I own
the latter for melting snow, etc.  It will burn anything including leaded
gas, diesel [my car], and JP-4.  Its only problem is cost ($70 approx)
and a little bit of complexity.

The 111 is cheaper, and fewer moving parts (strictly heat and pressure).
It requires a good priming (so does the MSR, less a bit).  It's the
old dependable.
