Thread: Cooking systems - gas vs hexamine stove/ open fire

Could probably go lighter (maybe negligible gain?) with a titanium pot too but this one is like its made to hold the cannisters and cooker, perfect shape and size, and I actually think it heats water faster than titanium does

I have considered a jetboil but they are pretty bulky and look like I could break it in my pack pretty easy..

A jetboil is at least twice the bulk, and has that flux ring thing that looks like it could bend/break pretty easy

The Jetboil might be a little more bulky but its just as light and none of mine have ever let me down and I have put a few hundred gas cartridges through them.
Bloody good coffee press for them and works well.
Great for melting snow due to the bigger cup.
The new titanium has even better adjustment than the one I have which is a little hard to set on a very low simmer.
Mostly its just boiling water for BC meals, coffee and tea.
The little trivet and genuine Jetboil frying pan are good for cooking back steaks and trout fillets.

But the factory plastic cup with it will break as soon as and one cut down from a $10 billy will last a life time.

That 600ml stst pot you guys have-who sells them? I like the two canister idea

Got mine from Hamills but have seen them at H&F, Bivouac, and even Mitre 10 Mega

I bought a few cookers in from AliExpress, mates love them.

I have several options for different scenarios, whether hunting or just tramping or a Jet boil type unit that I use if tramping with my young fella for a few days.
900ml pot, but the system weighs 500grams. Little cooker above is only 50grams plus the enamel cup

got one of those little mugs, really good, have a slightly different cooker to other ones on here, has a tube and legs so much more stable as a lower centre of gravity

Where did you get that mug and spoon from @HNTMAD ?
