Recently bought one of these cooksets after a friend recommended

good and effective. pretty nice size when its all put together

i personally prefer cooking kits where the stove connects directly to the fuel. less evaporation, and no need to worry about refilling the fuel pot. yours is probably better for long term trips however

you're being scammed, my friend.

The annoying thing about gas bottles is I can never really tell how full it is. Yes you can feel the weight of it but I'm paranoid about running out of gas and I always end up packing another bottle

>>1045602
How do these work then?

>>1045604
bring a pressure gauge
since you're bringing gas weight apparently your #1 priority
though full should be plenty for an emergency
shouldnt rely on gas stove for cooking all your meals anyway

they're really great unless you want to go above 3000m then the normal fuel is too inefficient.

why?

My stove is pretty basic but it serves its job.

>>1045597
Direct connection to fuel is fail in cold climate especially with gas like in your picture.

In cold, the gas has problems oozing out from the container, and you can't just flip the container upside down.

>>1045604
Weigh the bottle + gas, subtract bottle weight, then you can calculate % of fullness.

Do this a couple of times and you can estimate that for trip like this you spend % of gas bottle.

Below 10% (or whatever safety margin you want), bring a spare.

I use the Coleman F1 Lite and it is perfect, light weight and I ca\n carry fuel canister sizes that fit with the length of my trip.
I am planning on getting a Bushbox outdoor pocket stove for emergencies and fun, it is pretty lightweight and takes up little room.

I have no trouble cooking with a Stanley over an open fire; I don't understand the need for complex multi-bowl/pot/pan sytems with stoves you need to carry fuel for.

>>1045581
They bretty gud desu.
Gas is much more efficient than ethanol though. And telling how much gas is left should not be too hard with a little practice. So do yourself a favour and get the gas-system as well.

I love my trangia but its pain in the ass to clean everything after cooking. You need to bring some soap with you if you want to get all that black sticky shit off. If you try to clean it with only water your hands get really dirty and its not gonna come off easily and taste like shit if its get insede your pot.

I heard if you mix some water with alcohol its gonna help a little.

for shame

>>1045581
trangia? heavy and outdated

>t. whitebox stove user

PS alcohol is absolute shit tier in cold weather >>1045602 this anon knows where it's at.

Some people like to be outdoor chefs. I'd rather be a 1-pot guy, and since I hike alone a 0.8L pot has done everything I've needed it to while not taking a geological epoch to heat water in if I'm using an alcohol stove.

>fill fuel bottle with your preferred liquid fuel
>screw lid on fuel bottle
>pump it a bajillion times to pressurize and prime it
>open the valve
>pump it a bajillion more times to really actually prime it
>light within 5 seconds
>hope you didn't wait 1 second too long and explode
>cook for 1 minute
>pump it a bajillion more times when it starts to sputter, because each pump stroke has so little pump volume it's the equivalent of a gnat fart in a hurricane
>cook for another minute
>pump it a bajillion more times
>realize you've burned a quarter liter of fuel and the half liter of water you're trying to boil is at like room temperature because you're getting a really shitty, sporadic flame because it doesn't have enough pressure

That's my experience with kerosene in an MSR Whisperlite International made in the late 90's anyway.

>>1046998
running gasoline in a 10 year old one (cousin's) and a 1 year old one (brother's), my experience is they prime quickly, light easily, stay lit, burn steadily, and boil water quickly.

>>1046998
I have used a Whisperlite to cook hundreds of meals, many at high altitude, and this is not my experience at all
I tend to stick with white gas though

>also /out/ cooking thread I guess

I wish cooking threads had tasty recipes instead of endless gear photos. Going on a 5 day trip tomorrow, here's a dank Hobo dinner recipe.

>Serves 2-4
>1lb ground beef / steak / salmon
>2 potatoes OR sweet potatoes
>1 can corn
>1 onion, chopped
>half to one bag baby carrots, chopped OR 4-6 carrots, chopped
>4-6 stalks celery
>shredded cheese
>season liberally with mix of pepper, salt, brown sugar, dash of Worcestershire or soy sauce
>wrap in tin foil
>throw in fire, cook about 10-20 minutes or until beef is cooked / potatoes are soft

Easy as fuuuuuuuggggg but I wish I knew more detailed recipes. Most other cooking I do while /out/ is straight forward, like steak or trout w/ rice.

Any opinions on the dry fuel canteen stove? So far I've tried cooking over fire, and alcohol stoves. Both have their disadvantages.

Hexamine sucks, is expensive and leaves scorch marks on the bottom of your pan. If your primary concern with wood is that it's open, burn in a can.
