Sorry for the confusion. I was responding to Chad Burns, whose message had been forwarded by Mike Chaney a few days ago. Chad Burns was inquiring about small gas burners.

I don't think I got the previous messages leading up to this response. The reason I used the camping stove is that butane becomes too cold to maintain pressure in the winter and I was looking for a solution for it and the fact that when we fill our butane tanks there seems to be allot of butane that escapes. I am working on a different solution but my job is taking all my free time. I'm very interested in what Cheddar is doing with their engines though and as soon as I can I will order some stuff from them. I'm happy to say that the camping stove idea does work well and my run times with the Regner pump is around 3 hours. The problem I'm having right now is the controls in my C-16 and I hope to have that resolved soon. For those of you who are interested, we had our third steamup this last Saturday and it was great. I don't know how many times we ran our engines but I was sure tired when it was done. I'm hoping to get a few of you that live in the Southwest to come over if you have the time. Phoenix is nice in the winter so if you get sick of the cold it might be a nice break for you. Chad

Mike,
Chad might find that a small camping stove will serve his purpose and be well within his budget. Stores that sell camping, backpacking, and mountain climbing supplies would be the places to look for small, portable, and simple burners that use butane or butane/propane mix. Stateside, so-called military surplus or army-navy stores often carry a selection of small gas-fired portable stoves as well. Some of them are nothing more than a gas ring on a tripod and a connecting hose to a gas bottle. A few years ago I found a $25 butane portable stove with a ceramic burner at Walmart.
