Oh! Way cool! Let me know what you accomplish! I would love to be able to use this stove! For those who use this stove and like it please tell me what you carry your fuel in. It worries me a bit carrying around a platapus flask of denatured alcohol. I am worried it will leak all over my pack!

Also to Jim the hiker... I am so sorry I hi-jacked your thread.... I didn't mean to...

I use an 11 ounce MSR fuel bottle I got at Popular. Probably a weeks worth of fuel I'd say!

11 oz is a weeks worth of fuel? I was thinking it would take more than that to do breakfast and dinner for a week....I am doing Paria and I need to know what to bring for a five day four night type hike.... I don't want to get stuck out there with no fuel left to cook my dehydrated meals with.... chewing on that stuff with out first cooking it could get pretty old after a while!

Diane, I am using a baby bottle with 1/2 ounce increments on the side. It lets me know how much fuel Im pourin' and it holds over 8 ounces, 2 days worth at least. The nipple comes off and most brands have a metal cap that fits into place to prevent leakage. So far, so good. I would think 2 or 3 of these bottles would work for Paria. Good luck out there and have a blast!

I'm not one to usually care about cutting weight, but I am curious to see there alcohol stoves in action. With all that extra weight and space saved that's almost another 6 pack to fit in.Beer

I think the best way is to use it at home several times to determine for yourself your particular needs! Keeping in mind that the higher the elevation the longer it takes to boil water! I've found it takes 4 tsp to heat the water to a boil in my kitchen so 11 oz.= 66 tsp.= 16.5 two cup meals. but you definitely would want to carry extra above and beyond that.

I bought a titanium set from REI a year ago and have been well pleased with it. http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&catalogId=40000008000&storeId=8000&partNumber=687483&memberId=-2000&link=1&source=13117
It's non-stick and light. I typically only take one of the two pots with me. I take the small one if it's just me or the larger pot if I'm not alone.
I use them with my MSR wisperlite stove. The lid doubles as a fry pan but I don't fry much when I'm backpacking.


I have the same set from REI, and I've only used the small pot as it is adequate for all my cooking. One thing I really like about this pot is the attached handles which I really prefer to the old pot grabber I used in the past with my MSR steel cookset....

Well my Idea wasn't altogether successful. Sad it worked but I think I went a little to far. Which gives me high hopes for the next attempt! Smile I wish J-B Weld didn't take 15 hours to cure!

I have faith in your modification if JB weld is involved. That stuff held my crankcase on my first motorcycle together for a few years. I had a crack that ran all the way around it. Good Stuff!

It's great stuff! And I think it's about time for a "5 minute J-B Weld" porridge it!

Dianne, if push comes to shove and you run out of fuel, you can always soak the freeze-dried stuff in cold water. It will rehydrate it just takes a lot longer, it's still not that great cold but it sure beats chewing dried chunks of rice and chicken....

Yeah I am not really worried about running out of fuel because I will take more than I think I may need I just don't want to carry a ton of stuff... I am thinking I am gonna run some test boils and see how much fuel it takes.... Give me some kind of an idea how much I will need.

Jim the regular Snowpeak stove is 3.5 oz. The Ti stove is way more expensive and it weighs 3 oz so loosing that last half ounce is pretty expensive. Both are great performers though with adjustable flame.
