Well, we actually use an old style campfire coffee pot on our Westy stove. Not the type with the little perc basket, but the REAL old style...Pour in coffee, Pour in water, Boil until it smells right (about 10 minutes), let settle 1 minute, pour in cup. Mmmmmmm. Brush teeth afterward, or else you look like you've never been to the dental hygienist.

In a message dated 99-12-07 10:30:13 EST, you write:

<< Boy, I gotta side with Jeff, and his wee heater. We've done it both ways, and it sure is a lot nicer to get back from a hike to a cozy cocoon at 70 degrees, >>

Thanks. Plus, without the electric hookup, where are you going to plug in the coffee pot? Jeff S.

PS- And I don't want any flames from anyone about heaters and coffee pots, or even TV's- after all, if you're a true die hard, you wouldn't be camping in a Westy, but in a tent-or under the stars with just a sleeping bag.
