[Rhodes22-list] Portable Butane Stove Question

[Lou Rosenberg]

Jim

I tried to follow this thread, but no one seemed to mention the  
KENYON stove..  I looked at the UK link you supplied and
it looks like almost the same, but of course with a few annoying  
variances like the way the containers fit ,

I am planning on buying a Kenyon butane from Defender.com they are  
not expensive AND i have seen these actually sold in local hardware
stores for much less but with out the KENYON name on it.

just my observations
good luck
Lou
