RE: [Aushiker] Stoves & o/s treks

Thanks Ralph

Only probalem is I live in Vic at the moment so might be a long drive to
pick up!!!

I think the powers that be have pretty much decided we are going to get the
thing (some males always seem to want the latest gucci hi-tech stuff) . I
was hoping for some positive reviews to ease my mind!!!

Thanks all for the feedback!
