It's another backpacking gear post - featuring a cook kit that could cover all my trail cooking needs.
It's not the lightest cook kit on the trail, but it's all titanium, and I
know it will do steak and potatoes with all the sides. I'll show you
the steak and potatoes in a bit.
The components of this cook kit are as follows;
- Snow Peak Titanium Mini Solo Cookset
- Snow Peak 450 Titanium Mug
- Four Dog Stoves Titanium Wind Screen for the Snow Peak Trek 700
- Lawson Outdoor Equipment Titanium Tent Stakes
Here is the whole kit and kaboodle weighing in at 15 and 3/4 ounces (448 grams).
Using the Evernew Titanium Alcohol Stove, Four Dog Stoves Titanium Wind
Screen and Lawson Outdoor Equipment Titanium Tent Stakes, I boiled two
cups of water in 5 minutes 44 seconds, with one ounce of Heet denatured
alcohol. (Total burn time was 6 minutes and 40 seconds - indoors -
garage).
Sometime this backpacking season, I'll use the Four Dog Stoves Wind Screen and Vargo Titanium Hexagon Wood Stove as a grill.

Wawhiker...have you tried baking with this particular cook-set?
ReplyDeleteI have not baked with this cook set. It is a great idea. I will give that some thought. Thanks for the idea.
DeleteHave you tried the Solo Stove? If so, how does it compare with the Vargo Titanium Hexagon Wood Stove ?
ReplyDeleteI have tried the Solo Stove and liked it very much. I gave it to a friend who really wanted it. The Solo Stove is a very good wood gas stove and much different than the Vargo. The Vargo Hexagon would pale in comparison as a wood gas burner.
DeleteCan I ask, how did you blue your cup so evenly?
ReplyDeleteAdrian, appreciate you visiting and asking! This mug is blue tinted by SnowPeak. They do make a "natural" colored titanium mug - that would blue if heated. I do like how titanium turns blue when heated. But this particular mug comes that way already.
