I've finally given Butane the Tijuana Brass

Redback
You probably got the good name brand that was meant to last, I bet you a bottom dollar the ones giving trouble will be made in Bl#&*!@y China

I use my butane stove for on the go stuff, but after purchasing the dual-fuel stove will never again try using the butane on cold mornings.

I bought one of the Coleman dual fuel stoves on special, payed about $70 3 years ago. Best peice of camping gear I have ever bought. I use a mix of Kero and petrol to run it, 1lt of fuel lasts about a week if I use it about 4-5 times a day (pretty much for all cooking and coffee and heating dishwashing water).
Looked at buying one after using my brother in laws 1940`s model I used to borrow (and is still going strong).

Thanks Professor.

It won't work at 5C. Buggers your theory LOL.

Bilbo explains it below.

Haven't had the problem yet, so should sit quiet .
Is it possible that as the liquid at 5C expands, the cooling effect is significant? Or does the bloomin thing just not light up in the first instance, hence the impurities effect?

Sex after 50 is like playing pool with a piece of rope

Hmmm Lucy, maybe you need to see a therapist.....:-D

Or maybe its all the stress from owning a JEEEEEP...lol

"Sex after 50 is like playing pool with a piece of rope"

ROTFLMAO Classic!!!!

I see my therapist once a month every month courtesy of Veterans Affairs.

Prescribes me all sorts of pills.

Yes! I did take them today.

Yep! that JEEP is a constant worry.

Worry will it start

Worry will it keep going

Worry frantically when starting that one of the 26 dash lights on ignition will stay on. Man! thats the worst one.

And now, like a good AA or substance abuser, I can stand up and say - I have been 'dash light free for 8 weeks'

Suppose I have to say ROFLMAO, otherwise I would be in the corner crying, popping pills whilst SWMBO rings the therapist. (LOL)

Well Willem would know ....he F##^*$ S around with a 4x4 all the time.
See us old fella's like all these Gadgets , It helps to pass the time, Willem might be ok but I don't have a woman to play with so the next best thing is a 4x4 full of gadgets..... ..

Strewth, one day I'll decode this "follow-up/reply" procedure.
But just now I feel a need to summon Foreman Dusty, if I may?

. (Modurateur, if I may?)
(Sorry, cun spek Engrish, so leave off Javanese ok, eh)?

Dusty, sorry mate, but the Boy needs a wake up call. A bhight on the bhum should be enough. Thanks little fellah, you're not so bad.

DOUG. Did i detect a note of derision in a prior post? Ahh, you stroppy old farts. Leave Willem alone mate. He's ok. He was running tourists to the N of the 'Bridge Over The River s.alligator' at the time I was still taking breast upstream.

. and so the pieces gently come together. amazing.
Cheers eh, we're a long time dead. (And I promise to try hard not to rip it up 'The Modurateur' for deletion Monday last: indeed, I would have done the same). JH

That's too funking hard Gary.

Hassel how? I recently bought one on Ben Spoons recomendation and retired my 2 burner coz it had a stuffed hose. My idea was to use it won the very rare occasion where a fire is impracticle (fishing and camping in the dunes) or for when a fire is too much hassel (eg road side stop late at night)
Havnt used it but it looks the goods for its intended purpose
