[Alberg30] butane stoves

[George Dinwiddie]

When I was there, there were a couple about our age and a kid about 20 
there--all Korean, I think.  It was the kid who seemed to know the 
answers.  And I paid cash--that worked OK.

As for the quality, I don't know.  But considering we paid $50 for our 
stove, $15 is a good buy if it only lasts 1/3 as long.  And we didn't 
get a plastic case with ours.  West Marine currently charges $65 for the 
stove and $6 for a canister of butane.

Sorry it was such a hassle for you.
