    That looks nice and compact for a two burner system.

    Bloody hell, I'm more confused after reading this thread. Good though. Think I'll get one of those Toaks cups and a Propane Refill Adapter. Good work boys.

    I would recommend it. Just think carefully about what diameter put you go to as it will dictate what gas canister you can make fit. I choose the smaller diameter so the smallest gas canisters fit snug. One of these last 3 days so is ample for the vast majority of trips. No point in carrying around the bigger gas canister imo as that is where the majority of weight/size comes from

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    I've never been too worried about putting a gas canister inside the pot, I usually put food in the pot instead.

    I see you can get a jetboil knock-off from aliexpress now:

    Or just a pot with flux-ring / heat-exchanger:

    Glad I didn't get one today then! Went with the 25g burner +80g 650ml Toaks Titanium pot option. Should be here by Xmas.

    It's got a centre cap vents that make the flame Twist if that makes sense ? A bit of a gimic maybe but it works well, it weighs about as much as a mouse fart, over all a great bit of Chinese kit via aliexpress.

    I also got one and if you get the 700ml titanium pot the small jet boil cans and the cooker all fit inside.

    I'm surprised there aren't more people making cheap versions of the heat sink pot - how much difference do they make compared to a normal pot?
