[Rhodes22-list] gas usage

[Rik Sandberg]

Tom,

A butane can usually lasts us a couple of days at best, but we're huge 
coffee drinkers. We might make 4 or 5 pots a day, plus whatever we use for 
meals.

One thing about the butane stove is, it is very hot. You rarely need to 
operate it wide open. The full flame seems too hot, to me, even if you are 
just boiling water.
