    Last time used a Optimus 111T also like to take the Coleman 530's camping-people get a kick seeing them light. I used Svea 123's numerous times and several MSR stoves. Merry Christmas!!!

    This year we started a few new traditions. The first of which is making a homemade corn chowder on the 426D for Christmas eve and paired it up with homemade buttermilk dinner rolls. Second is the Christmas brunch made on the 426D, hash browns, toast, and a beef summer sausage scramble cooked in classic cast iron. We are loving that suitcase stove, and I plan on cooking a meal on it at least once a week.

    I have one set up right now. I have been doing most of the household cooking on Toyotomi (a little big for a camp stove) and a Prabhat silent. When on the boat in summer, a camp stove is my only stove, so all cooking is done either on the stove or a grill mounted on the aft rail.

    I like the Toyotomi for household use - Miles Stair calls it the Cadillac. Simple, no priming, and no flare-ups. Although not easy to find in the US, a friend says they are used for most household cooking in Korea.

    When I was in college, I made coffee on my 123R on the window sill. Luckily, my dorm monitor was my biking buddy, and looked the other way. We shared a balcony. . .
