Small solid fuel stove

concerned about spills? I have a couple of small stoves (more accurately
"cookers" rather than full stove for both heating and cooking) which burn
fuel stored in canisters - propane and butane. If concerned about gas
leaks in a cabin the canisters or the whole stove can be kept outside.

I've carried a one burner backpacker's stove in an open boat. To conserve
fuel and speed cooking outside I made a removable wind shield for the
burner out of two aluminum pie plates wired together - works great.
nothing special about the stoves I have, run of the mill backpaker's
stoves found at second hand sales which use standard small butane and
propane canisters - good for boiling water for tea or heating up food for
one or two people. I like a flint and steel igniter better than matches or
a butane lighter because the flint and steel device is more robust and
needs no fuel.
