My Kni-Co "Packer" stove arrived this evening. I haven't weighed it yet, or fired it up, but my initial impression of it's construction and attention to detail is very good. It's supposed to be a Christmas present so it'll get warm on the 25th.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
