Do the meths cookers work just by burning the meths as it evaporates through the holes?

Coffee-wise, I got one of these the other day and it does the trick. Weighs 17g, the (pretty pointless) lid adds another 9.

Depends how long the trip is I guess! With the normal pot I used about 40g of gas on a recent overnight trip (weighed the canister before and after just to be geeky, because I've never really checked...

My maplefire 1L heat exchange pot arrived today, did a quick comparison with a normal (wider shaped) alloy pot. Both on the little BRS ti cooker on the same setting, though it wasn't on full power...

Off the top of my head I don't think it would - its a while since I studied thermodynamics but essentialy the evaporation of liquid to gas inside the canister requires energy, which it has to absorb...

Fair enough, each to their own!

I still don't know why so many people are worried about putting gas canisters inside their pots. Its not like the canisters need the pot to protect them, and its not really saving space because you...

I have a maplefire heat exchange pot on the way, so I'll do a comparison test with a normal pot on the same cooker once it arrives.

Is that with the jetboil style pot on the titanium cooker, or just a normal pot?

Makes sense.

Until this year I used a primus omnifuel on white spirits, was great when I was doing cold mountain trips etc. The pump packed up on that and the last few trips I've used the...

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?

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

Didn't know about those ones, good find! Got one on the way now. :D

Probably isn't a big deal for most people. Mountaineers are usually the ones most interested in that, because time waiting for a brew/hot feed is time getting cold and not moving. Plus when you're...
