Subject: Re: new member, interested in small stove

Eric, that stove looks interesting...I will have to give it some
thought. There are some advantages to a gas bottle as you pointed
out. I will say, that I am not looking to cook in real adverse
situations, just want more confidence I am not going to tip the stove
over,etc...if there is some chop. Wonder if I could have something
hooked on to the hanging system to keep it steady? Like a couple
bungee cords...but wouldn't want them to burn loose...
