the box, though I did have to scrape off a layer of what appeared to be
pork and beans from one burner, the others never having appeared to even
being lit.

Man, I gotta start shopping Goodwill. So far, I've only dropped things off.

How many stoves do you want? Just prior to Christmas, I passed on 4 of
them in one store alone. Im getting picky these days, I only snag
Multifuel units. The old ones would burn on unleaded, but tended to gum
up the generators if you let em sit for a while, so if you have to use
gasoline in an older unit, burn some regular naptha/Coleman fuel/etc as
soon as you can afterwards.
