Nice job on that canoe Robin. Jim

I’m glad to own a malecite. RIP Jim

That is an interesting box, I’ve never seen one of those. Jim

Yes it was used on a boat as I said in the first post. Searching the stoves name the only hit I got was someone on Classic Camp Stoves looking for almost the same info I was/am. Perhaps I’ll poke around the woodenboat forums this evening. Thanks scouter. Jim

I can’t help you but I sure do sympathize with you. Jim

I fired up the stove today. It is gravity feed fuel and totally silent. Since it is gravity feed it has a breather hole in the tank lid but with what I have there is no way to seal it to prevent evaporation between use. Maybe plastic wrap, the screw the top on, but that is not something to worry...

Thanks Sam, I did find that site last night but at least what I found was scant. I’ll spend more time there over the next couple of days. Jim

It looks fairly involved as it most likely needs new inwales and outwales. Sure wish there were more pics to identify other problems. Jim

I picked up this stove in a barn clean-out a couple of days ago. It seems in ok shape everything moves as it should. It was last used on a boat, and it will never come canoeing with me but it is light weight and I could see mounting it in a car camping kitchen. Anybody have any insight on the...

Welcome to the campfire On283. I’ve never done a carbon copy but I’m sure you will find some answers here. Jim

I just realized they need to go back for their packs. Jim

Anybody participate in the Ely Marathon this year? I don’t think I can complain about a portage ever again. How about an 8,390 rod portage, no thanks. https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=marathon%20with%20a%20canoe&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:c2e08b32,vid:gUhyntxToEE,st:0 Jim

I have a problem, yesterday a friend from another forum (Old Woodworking Machines) stopped by the house and offered me a whole roll of 5’ wide Kevlar and Carbon Fiber, one each. The immediate problem is he lives in California and that’s where the rolls are. He is willing to drive them here next...

I read last night that a camper in the BWCA needed medical evacuation because his leg got in the way of his axe. It was reported out of Ely but I currently have no other information. Thought at first that might have been the reason for the plane but in retrospect probably not. Jim That was some...

Hope you didn’t handle that black and yellow hairy caterpillar, if I’m not mistaken those hairs can give you a nasty rash. Jim

I’ve done that in cooler weather. Jim

I stayed in a Motel 6 in Duluth while driving from Maine to the BWCA, I miss judged the time due to the time change and knew I wasn’t going to get as far as I wanted, I think I had already driven 12 hours that day. I was too exhausted to go to another place so I stayed. I was fine and my car was...

My daughter likes these a lot. I don’t drink coffee anymore so I can’t comment. Jim

Thanks, I think there is a dealer nearby. Jim

Where did you get that ‘T’ hitch bar? I think I need one. Jim
