Gnu, figures eh? (About hiking the price of Coleman stoves I mean). Money's all that talks for some people, I guess. I'm glad there's many MANY more who think and act like you do though ...

I've got a little 'Black Cat' propane heater I picked up at - guess where - Canadian Tire! - last spring. It works VERY well in emergencies and some models double as a stove too. Uses those little disposable propane tanks. Guess it's best to buy them 'off season' though.

Stay warm over there!
