While not as scenic a trip as many of you have been on it was a rather fruitful morning.

" My name is Bob and I am a Goodwillaholic"

Sat June 19th was 1/2 off store wide sale. I simply could not resist. I was in friday and found several items of interest. With the sale the next morning I thought it would be silly to not wait. Many times this backfires and some one will grab the item of interest up but I decided to roll the dice.

3rd in line Sat am I dashed in and grabbed the bike rack I had my eye on and there were several other new arrivals I just had to have.

" Hi my name is Bob and I am a Goodwillahoilc." :woohoo:

The wife and I used to hit all the thrift stores on Saturday morning, but we have not done that in a long time...maybe next Saturday... :thinking:

Bob, you will love that stove. That's our primary cook top!

Mike have you had any problem with the butane in cold weather. Someone posted they are kinda difficult in cold weather.

Guess I could stuff the little fuel canister in my sleeping bag ! :D

I haven't used it in cold weather, but have heard the same thing. It's the best cook top for the money. I bring propane bottles but rarely use them after buying the butane stove. I know you have other options as well.

We have found that we use a cannister a weekend, maybe a little more if we are cooking something for a long time. Let us know how you like it.
