Yes, you read that correctly, 100% propane for backpacking type stoves. Yep, the little compact suckers. On nice, works-in-the-cold 100% propane. The ideal set up is the 226g/8oz 100% propane Bernzomatic PowerCell -- if you can find them. They're out there, but they're tough to find. Absent a PowerCell, you can use an adapter like [b][i]the Kovea LPG (propane) adapter[/i][/b] with common 16.4oz/465g propane cylinders, the kind everyone uses for car camping. What are the considerations involved with the use of such an adapter and 100% propane for backpacking stoves? I address these and other practical matters of propane for backpacking stoves in my latest blog post: [b][i]100% Propane For Backpacking Stoves[/i][/b]. HJ

We do have a backpacking section here. Yes, Rob, But a lot of hunters, fishermen, etc like backpacking type stoves because they're small and relatively portable. However, if the moderators would like to move this post to another section, I have no objection. HJ

Jim, we don't have no stinking moderators. Peer pressure is about all we have. Most of us look at your posts as spam. You might find more love over in the back pack hunting section. Folks using this subform are more likely to be found firing up a Big Green Egg, than a camp stove.

I certainly don't regard Jim's posts as spam. The BP forum probably is a more appropriate venue though. He's not selling anything and as far as I see, he has a noncommercial blog about bp cooking. I'll have to go check it again. Jim - you have some interesting threads and good info (not all of which I agree with) but I for one, am glad you are here. Carry on.

Interesting information to those of us who get out and do stuff in the outdoors.
Welcome to the fire.

One thing's for sure....some SPAM would taste good right about now. No matter how it's cooked. Dayum high BP.

I don't think it's spam either. I don't backpack but find it interesting, I like to have something warm to drink or eat on longer ice fishing trips. Even propane gets a little weak on the cold days.

The BP forum probably is a more appropriate venue though. Got it. Thanks. He's not selling anything and as far as I see, he has a noncommercial blog about bp cooking. I'll have to go check it again. Yep. Nothing for sale. Just a hobby. C'mon and look if you like -- or not. It's there if it's helpful. Jim - you have some interesting threads and good info (not all of which I agree with) but I for one, am glad you are here. Carry on. Thanks, bro. HJ

Yes, white gas or kerosene, of course. But some really like gas (or really dislike liquid fuel). I've got some ideas that should work down to about -45F on canister gas. They're not quite ready for the blog yet. I go out and test this stuff before I post my ideas. If you never hear from me again, that means I blew myself up. HJ

I like the info thanks for posting it. Have a few backpacking stoves that see non-backpacking work a few times a year. Got any good base camp recipes to share?

Hi, Mac, My specialty is omelets which both my wife and I enjoy. Nothing too elaborate here, but my "trick" (if it can even be called that) is to add about 1 part milk to 4 or 5 parts egg, and then whip everything together. Of course using butter to grease the pan improves the flavor as well. I also bring a lid for my pan whenever I can. I turn down the heat fairly low, and cover for a while with all the ingredients inside. Gives everything a good even cooking. Of course you need a good thick pan for this. A flimsy little light weight pan won't cut it if you want a decent omelet. HJ

Jim, just ignore Mannlicher.....he's an obnoxious douche, and certainly doesn't speak for "most of us", as he presumes. Sure, the Backpacking forum is probably a better venue for this, but it's good info, nonetheless. Thanks. Jeff

Jim:
I find your info interesting. Can't imagine why it's looked on as spam by some. I have absolutely no use for one of those little stoves but enjoy seeing what other folks find useful and it looks like you have an interesting hobby. I never get more than 25 feet from a vehicle so no need for it but there was a time....
