Title: cozies Post by mastertangler on Dec 26th, 2010 at 2:26am
I have a titanium pot. It has pluses and minuses. You best keep stirring your oatmeal with a mini GSI spatula or your raisins will likely burn. Of course the weight saving is what caught my initial attention. It heats up quickly but also cools off quick.
The cooling off quick has warranted some attention from me. Since most of my dinners on this summers planned trip are part freeze dried getting it properly hydrated without using endless amounts of fuel has become a concern for me. Cliff Jacobs mentions using insulated "cozies" in several of his books and that is the direction I have been thinking. I had thought to make my own but stumbled on this website and this ought to make things easier. I like that the product has earned the "Backpackers magazine award" which I have learned to place great faith in. I like that they offer quite a variety of very specific sizes at a reasonable price. This should cut my fuel consumption rather dramatically as I can take it off the stove and slap it in the cozie and it will continue cooking and hydrating for quite some time after being removed from the flame. For those of you who cook anything that needs simmering for extended periods this could be a great asset and is very lightweight. (You need to Login or Register |
