Dear Santa,

Alcohol in winter just doesn't cut it. Half as efficient as butane gas and gasoline, it is high-time to put a liquid gas stove on my wish list. Browsing through the Bergfreunde website, I saw the Edelrid Opilio - at 170 gram one of the lightest gas stoves on the market. A nice big pan support gives even big pots in winter enough support, and its 3 kW output power means there's some serious power there to melt snow and boil water! 3 minutes for boiling a liter of water ain't shabby, and means I can eat and drink a hot cup of cacao a lot quicker. It'd be swell if you drop one of them in my stockings, because the 20+ minutes it takes my alcohol stove to make a bit of snow lukewarm just puts me closer to hypothermia then a warm meal.

Best,
