BUTTERFLY AROUND SUPERIOR

SEE MY POST #292 "SOOT BLOCKS JET"
THE JEST OF IT WAS THAT THE 2412 BUTTERFLY THAT I
BOUGHT FROM A LOCAL SURVIVAL GEAR SUPPLY SHOP WAS
JUST OK..OVER ALL THE CONSTRUCTION SEEMED STURDY BUT
THE FINER THREADS WERE NOT CUT VERY WELL..SEE HANDI
ALBERTS FIX IN THAT PROBLEM..
AFTER SOME BACK YARD "FETTELING" I GOT IT RUN VERY
WELL ..MY WIFE AND I WENT FOR A CAR CAMPING TRIP TO
THE NORTH SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR WHERE WE USED IT TO
HEAT WASH WATER WHILE WE COOKED ON A COLEMAN 2 BURNER.
THE BUTTERFLY SAT AT THE END OF THE TABLE AND ROARED
AWAY FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR A NITE FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO
PROBLEMS AT ALL WHILE IT BROUGHT A GALLON OF COLD WATER TO A BOIL..I ALSO BROUGHT SMALL GAZ STOVE ALONG
WITH THE IDEA THAT IT WOULD BE HANDY FOR A QUICK CUP
OF TEA,BUT IN THE COOL EVENINGS BY THE LAKE I HAD
TO CUP MY HANDS AROUND IT TO WARM THE CARTAGE
ENOUGHT TO MAKE A GOOD FLAME..
AFTER USING THE BUTTERFLY FOR CAR CAMPING I REJECTED
IT AND ALL OTHER KEROSENE STOVES FOR CANOE TRIPPING
BECAUSE OF THE NASTY SMELL THAT LINGERS FOR DAYS FROM
SPILLED KEROSENE..
IF YOU EVER MAKE THE NORTH SHORE OF SUPERIOR TRIP,
A VERY GOOD CAMPING PARK IS JUST EAST OF ROSSPORT
