Primus problems

The primus issued with the NZARP kitchen box was not usable in the Coombs Hills. Although tested by us and apparently O.K. at Scott Base, at 2000 m the production of carbon monoxide was profuse, the indicator becoming black within minutes. The back-up stove (an Optimus from the VUWAE store) operated safely and well at all times.
