I know there has been several threads about stoves lately, especially alternative stoves, and I have been very interested. I'm looking to cut weight. Typically I have been drawn to isobutane for ease and efficiency of use but for lengthy trips the weight and bulk are not very attractive.

I think I might be impressed with this set up. Probably will still take a pocket rocket and a canister or two until I get some confidence with it. Probably would opt out during the shoulder months due to precip but even then a decent knife could be used to split some fuel. Opinions? Suggestions? Hot stock tips?

But what I noticed is what he is trying to heat........this stove does not seem practical for a pot of coffee (ahem....."solo stove"). I would bet that a small titanium pot would boil water in a heartbeat. Add some oats or dehydrated grub, slap it in a cozie for 5 minutes and all would be well. Not sure I would want to actually cook on it (fry fish etc.) but who knows.......I will give it a shot.

As for speed some sort of "cheat" seems helpful......Tinder quik looks to offer a cheap and lightweight solution (???).......wetfire is nice but way to expensive.
