What kind of stove should a crew use at Philmont?
Name brand models from MSR, Coleman and others, make different models of lightweight backpacking stoves that use white gas (Coleman fuel) or Coleman MAX fuel will provide good service. Crews will find it to their advantage if all stoves of the same make and model. Whatever stove is chosen, all members of the crew must know how to use it, and at least several crew members must know how to maintain it. When possible, have spare parts available. Philmont recommends 2 to 3 stoves plus fuel bottles for each crew.
