Sometimes I use a gas stove/pot/heat exchanger unit like the MSR Reactor, which also works Chris Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04282926597863688874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063908328061898266.post-39728557746738179732019-01-14T17:14:34.027+00:002019-01-14T17:14:34.027+00:00Leak where?
