Ya know the reason why the chemical ones are more popular is becuase
they are less of a pain. Yea, I realize they create more waste (instead
of a can of lighter fluid you gotta toss you get a pocket filled with
these stupid sand bags.) But I like the idea heat being less
combustible, granted I never burned anything with the butane ones. I
have always used them rather sparingly and with the chemical ones I can
use it when I need no fuss no muss, tear the package give'er a shake and
viola instant heat.

As to where to get a new one... Have you given that big Ed Bass store or
what ever the hell it is called up in Gurnee a call? They seem to have
one of eveything up there.

Jer,
