I have a sierra stove. You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I have to admit, it's a lot of fun to tinker with the flame.

I use it on trips when I have lots of fresh drinking water available and don't have to rush to boil up a drink.

I like burning pine cone cones after the squirrels have chewed the pine nuts off.

The pot has .125" thick layer of pine tar and will never be cleaned again, but heck, that just speeds the boiling process.

Use your stove freely without guilt. If it was such a big problem with the environment I highly doubt they would be on the market for this long.
