Room Heater
Years ago (dunno if they still make it) there was a Coleman Catalytic heater that screwed directly onto one of those (roughly) quart-sized propane (or other) bottles of gas. Meant for a tent, they unfortunately, didn't put out enough heat for a house.- anantaandroscoggin

Planning return to piping with a change in direction.
It's a long way between me and trying out all the different cavendish blends out there, but every one I've tried over the past few years seemed to be all gooped up with propylene glycol, and never dried out (even the one baggie I left open for a month). Hard to get lit, and hard to keep lit...- anantaandroscoggin

Since beer is brewed from barley, hops, yeast and water, this guy is apparently mistaking Veisen with beer (veisen is brewed with wheat instead of barley). (Ale is barley, yeast and water, no hops.)- anantaandroscoggin
