Squad Stove,

Can't agree more with CSB. They ARE bulletproof and will work where fancy backpacker stoves won't and, you can fix or clean it with a pocket knife at altitude. My pappy gave me his when i joined the army and it's served me well till i got with the times and bought a lightweight civvy one (Whisperlite Int and Jetboil-both great)

Now my Squad stove goes in my truck. In the winter my transmission fluid freezes overnight so i have to set it under the t-case for a about 10 mins on cold mornings. Which, is pretty amazing that where Internal Combustion Engine fails the US ARMY Squad stove M-1950 does not!

I wish i had spare parts or maybe a specialized cleaning kit, though.
