    All this talk about camps has me preparing my old green stoves for a trip I'm taking in the end of April. I recently (Ok so it was almost a year
    ago) picked up an old green two burner white gas stove for free at a recycling event.

    Call it my more affordable version of landroveritis. I already have an identical fully functional stove (stored in the rack above the cab of the
    dorkmobile) like this so why did I need to get another? Upon careful consideration I determined my answer to be threefold. It was free, old, and
    quite suspect functionally.

    So last night fired it up...OK so I TRIED to fire it up. A SPO(t) had left the tank with remnants of gasoline and the tank had something
    rattling around inside it. I cleaned it up, fished out the remants of an old fuel pump piece from the tank put in fresh coleman fuel. Voila
    everything works fine just as designed and built.....End of story? 'course not.....I must be able to "improve" the functionality and
    suitablility for my particualer applications. I'm drawing and sourcing parts and ideas for improvements.....Whats in/on/around yours? Now that I
    have two I can have one bone stock and one can become FRANKENSTOVE......
