I already blew up one saddle bag hauling a can of Zippo fluid on the exhaust side, doh!
Or I might just buddy up with one of the vendors to keep the coffee coming... And/or buddy up to a tented neighbor that has a camp fire...
I'm a friend of Bill myself. I went too a lot of rallies as a newbie to the program.
Work your program and you will be OK. When you feel uncomfortable just get away from the situation. Try to find a phone book and look for meetings, you will be OK.

Ya do know that you got 6 gallons of raw gas between your legs all the time dont ya!!!!! If you do go the liquid fuel route, you can get quart sized metal gas bottle carriers.

This stuff is the best instant coffee I have ever tasted. I promise it tastes like brewed coffee.

Use this with a hot plate to heat up a cup of water:

I think that a hot plate, a coffee cup, and some Starbucks via would work just fine for you fix.

This would also work pretty good possibly.

I bought a propane conversion valve for my Coleman stove from a company called Campmor. Never worried about a fuel leak again!!!! Cheap too!

If you don't already have the stove, get the propane type. If you already have the stove find out if unleaded gas will work. If you need the white gas, get an aluminum fuel bottle.

I knew a guy who was killed in a motorcycle accident. You shouldn't go to rallies.

Ditto.

Keep it away from the exhaust and heat and it shouldn't be an issue. I've hauled them in cars, canoes, and bicycles with no issues. They're great products.

I carry a Coleman Dual Fuel 442. It is carried in a plastic bag inside a pouch and kept in an upright position in the left saddlebag. Make certain all the pressure is out before stowing. I use an aluminum fuel bottle that has unleaded premium in it, which serves as an emergency fuel reserve that makes the OL feel secure for some reason.

Look into get a JetBoil http://www.jetboil.com/ or a backpacking stove. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Expone...231268&sr=1-18 take up very little room.
