COOL COOKING

Brought along a very fun backpacker stove that burns wood. It is of double-wall construction, so the heat of the fire creates convection currents that blast the flames right up at the pan. We can boil water super fast with about one 4-foot stick just slightly thicker than a pencil (snapped shorter than a pencil--Chapstick-sized pieces are optimum). It fits inside our camp pans (a deeper pan with a lid that's also a frying pan), along with the matches and a tiny bottle of dish soap. I love how cleanly it burns (the ashes are like confetti) and how quickly it cools off for repacking.
