I just thought I'd share this with everyone, because, well, it's funny, and it may help some lightweight hikers out in a pinch.
Our roommate gave us a fondue pot as a gift, and the plan was to use it tonight, BUT she couldn't find a Sterno can at Wild Oats. Originally, we thought we'd just warm the cheese up on the stove, then put it in the fondue pot, but then it occurred to me...a pepsi can stove might work instead of a Sterno can, and work it did!:clap
I put in twice as much alcohol as normal, and it burned throughout dinner! Yummy hot gruyere, onion and cheddar, with bread and chorizo sausage!
So, keep this in mind, but off the trail...I do consider myself a trail chef, but I think fondue on the trail might be pushing it....
Anyone else out there find a use for your trail gear at home? Do you still sleep in a sleeping bag? Do you still eat with a titanium spork?
