I'v been researching stoves here and elsewhere trying to determine the 'best' for my needs. Now that i am older and the kids are getting old enough to hike and camp comfortably, I am thinking of upgrading from my old faithful camp-fire-cooking. I've read here that the Dragonfly sounds something like being on an aircraft carrier deck, but that it may be good for cooking for small groups...or large groups with small mouths. We will camp in every season, however winter in our region (PA) does not usually drop to sub artic temps. I'd 'like' something versitile enough to suit those needs and well as a solo or duo outing.
Also, I've been camping and hiking since I was a young kid in scouts, and have used different fuels (propane, wood, fuel tabs), but am not sure exactly what type of alcohol is being burnt? Could anyone please help out the uninformed new guy? Thank you!
