KoreaScouter Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 120 degrees? Lessee, two options come to mind: 1). Stay indoors. 2). Move someplace else. All kidding aside, the temperature sensitivity with different fuel types is, as far as I know, related only to cold temps, not hot ones. Seriously, I don't know how you guys stand it in that heat. I grew up in Minnesota, and the first time I had to go to Nevada for duty-related reasons, I couldn't believe it (it was in July). I wasn't hanging out in casinos, but was checking exterior security systems at Air Force restricted areas -- we had to start at 4:00 a.m. and quit by noon or we would have been jerkied by 2:00 p.m. If anyone had suggested cooking anything outside, I would have directed them to the nearest flat rock...

bigskyry Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 "Pepsi Can Stove aside" If it is the manufacture of the stove that is daunting, a commercially available alcohol stove that is both more durable and more efficient than a Pepsi can design is now available. For solo use, I recommend the Brasslite Turbo I: http://www.brasslite.com/. We are currently reviewing these stoves at www.backpackinglight.com and would be more than happy to discuss it offline. It would be inappropriate for me to talk about it in a public forum prior to publication of the review.

hops_scout Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 One way they stand it, KS, is that it doesnt feel as hot because of low humidity levels there. Dont get me wrong, its still hot, but ours is just as bad in St Louis during the summer months. We have such high humidity levels that even when its only about 85 degrees out, it feels worse. I've stayed inside today for most of the day for that reason. It's not really hot, its sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
