Hey, thanks for the tips. We were getting ready to go up to the Alabama Hills in California's eastern Sierras. If you haven't ever been there it is beautiful. Summers are hot and Winters can be cold. It was 90+ when we got there but cooled off enough for a good night's sleep.
During the cleaning process I must have clogged the holes with nothing more than water. By the time we got around to cooking everything had dried and the stove worked fine. What an idiot I was to panic and shoot off the post here. But thanks again for the help. This group has always been a terrific source for my Airstream woe's.
