    Default lightweight cookwear/stove

    A friend of mine broke out his titanium kit and Ill be getting some of this stuff.Snowpeak.com.They have the fuel and stove that fits in the cup,that fits in the pot,that has a lid that doubles as a frying pan.He also has the lantern and spork.The fuel runs about $3.00 each and the stuff is super lightweight.Pricey but high quality.

    I have the SnowPeak Ti minisolo kit in my BOB and a bunch of other pieces in my camp box. it's great stuff! I usually buy the stuff when REI has a sale. so I would get a piece about every 3 to 6 months.
    I know what hunts you.

    I use the Snow Peak Trek900 which I think is what you are describing. I wouldn't recommend it. The main reason? What the hell can you fry in a pan the size of a teacup saucer? The "skillet" is 1/3 the weight and I dropped it like a bad habit. I'd look for a simple titanium put instead. No handles, no lid. Put a simple bail wire around the rim and tahdah! Haven't tried the stove but I usually cook over coals. Believe me when I say I'm a gram weenie

    you could scramble some eggs in it.I have always only had a pot and cup in my primitive camp pack so having a way to fry,even on a smaller scale would br nice.Rabbit or squirrel pices etc.I know in a survival situation id be stewing everything to gain more fat but a weekend excursion might find a small fry handy.I too am a coal cooker and fine fire builder,but if its wet and mushy out,I can fire up a hot drink in a jiffy,while Im working on a fire.The little stove and cookpot/cup is gonna find a place in my primy bob soon,but thanks for your input.

    Titanium is light and strong, but I hear it scorches and burns anything but water. Titanium is great at transmitting heat.

    For backpacking, I will just stick with my canteen stove because it is light and there is no shortage on fuel. For regular camping with my wife, I will stay with my Kelly Kettle.

    Stairman, go to Joe's Army Navy website, and type canteen stove in the search engine and it should pull it right up. It looks like canteen turned upside down cut in half with holes drilled all around it for air flow. You can set your canteen cup or whatever on it to cook or boil water. It is a neat set up. Check it out.
