Sort of off-topic but only a little: Does anyone know why Coleman discontinued their simple white gas stove? The one with the integral tank and the pump? They still make a multi-fuel version of that stove, but I believe it's somewhat heavier. I had one for many years but it eventually wore out and I haven't been able to replace it. It was my absolute favorite for canoe and car camping; a little heavy for bike use.
What I loved about it was the instant-on feature without having to pre-heat it with an open flame. Seemed like they were in every Wal- and K-mart for decades, for $40 or so, and all of a sudden, they disappeared. Is anyone aware of another white gas stove with similar features?
