I find Sweetbaby ray's to be very watery, and lacks the kick a good BBQ sauce should have.
It was bought as a substitute for the Kettlemans base I use to make my recipe. It threw off everything,...

I am a chef so that I can pay for hiking. The best bbq sauce would definitely be homemade, and I will give you a recipe if you would like, but the best you can by in the store I think is Jack Daniels...

5 billion....lol

I bet it would be good after a 15 mile day:-?

Jak try to cut the top off a can just under the top lip. If done rite you can actually take the top off by pulling up on the tab. Note this will not be water proof, and will have to be used for...

Ok I have fashioned my first stove, and it is working great. I first cur off the top, and bottom. The a large hole for loading wood into, and another small hole in back for better circulation. I also...

Yes I have heard of using hand sanitizer. I have never actually tried it though. I agree with astrogirl about smelling like smoke. I would rather smell smoke then my gear, or me!!!

I have seen all kinds of fuel tabs in the outfitting store. What is the best one.?

I don't think cutting up a tin can is very complicated, and I think every hiker/backpacker has a lighter. Also that is what this thread is about " WOOD STOVES!! " We all like the idea of not spending...

I know I will catch a bunch of crap for this, but all this just to save a couple of grams, mayby onces???? Just find one, or two neccesities you don't need. this will get you pack wieght down with...

I do not want ash in my food/water, and this seems to be my only problem.

So now that my hobo stove is in gear. What are some things I can do to control the ash? and with the flame melt my aluminum pot/pans? Also is seems as if pine cones make a good burning fire... would...

I did this to my tent, sleeping bag, cloths, socks, back, stuff sacks etc.........obviously.

This worked well for me after my Florida trail hike. You sweat all day, and sometimes at night, and your gear gets very...VERY stinky, and moldy. What I did was set up buckets with a large amount of...

That is why I chose to do a homemade stove. I enjoy tinkering with things, and figured by building and testing a stove my self I would have a well oiled working stove on the trail.

As for as...

I am planning on bringing a homemade wood stove on my threw hike. I kile this idea, having an infinite amount of fuel, that you don't have to carry. What are some of your thoughts on this matter? Is...

Thank you kind sir.

Ok thanks I will. I have never heard of this brand, but am sure it is great. I will check it out.

I have with the pack I have, and did well, but still want a larger pack. I have also done 2-5 day trips in the foot hills with a pack wieghing 20 lbs. While doing so I felt as if I could have carried...

Advice, and why the hell would you do that? are too different things. Although from the info I have recieved I think I will go with the G4 from gossamergear. I like the pack, and hear it is great for...

thanks for the info.
