I haven't done one of my reviews for a while. This week's stove is an oldie (1970's) but a goodie, the Hank Roberts Mini Stove.

I reckon they were the handiest for backpacking. I have two or three of them. They take up almost no space.

Retired them since I can't find cartridges for them anymore. There are folks doing retrofits, but it was easier to just get a new stove.

Yeah, the canisters are all but impossible to find nowadays although I did find a few in a little surplus store late last year.

If you still have any empty canisters in good condition, I'd be willing to take a crack at refilling them for you. I've had good success with refilling a couple of different types of canisters so far.
