All Titanium Backpacking Grill and Stove Cook Kit


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.










As stated earlier, the Vargo Titanium Hexagon Wood Stove will grill steak...

    1. I have not baked with this cook set. It is a great idea. I will give that some thought. Thanks for the idea.

  2. Have you tried the Solo Stove? If so, how does it compare with the Vargo Titanium Hexagon Wood Stove ?

    1. I 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.

  3. Can I ask, how did you blue your cup so evenly?

  4. Adrian, 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.
