Cook stove?
« on: August 22, 2018, 07:25:27 PM »
Turns out I don't need a tent this fall, so I'd like to invest in a cook stove.

My partner has one, don't know the brand, but it takes 10 minutes to heat a cup of coffee. I'm assuming there is something quicker? All we use the stove for is coffee, but if I have to wait 10 minutes for the first cup, it's not worth packing.

Get a Jetboil and carry it with you during the day too - jump on the trail and have coffee while glassing in the field.  Great for oatmeal, cocoa, and cup-a-noodles for lunch too.  Coffee in 90 seconds. If not backpacking these little $20 units work great.

The wife bought me one of those propane ones and asked why I don't just use it.
I drew a late mule deer hunt that I also will,use the stove for to heat midday coffee, but the cup-a-noodles idea is great.

I second the jet boil.   They’re light enough to pack and everything is nestled into itself including the fuel.  One pot of water will make a cup of soup and a cup of coffee. We use the Folgers singles  that are in a tea bag.  Works great
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

I prefer the Camp Chef Stryker...it is very much like a Jet Boil but you can use an adapter and a frying pan or cook pot too...everything nestles into the standard pot/cup and it has a built in igniter so no need to worry about matches or a lighter, plus they make a "multi-fuel" version that takes either propane or butane.

There's more to life than hunting...there's fishing too!

I love my jet boil. Coffe, oatmeal, noodles, mountain house meals, on & on. You can also put a small frying pan on it if you want some bacon.

I have been using something like this one attached and have had no issues, boils fast enough.

Definitely will go Jetboil, so many recommendations I can't ignore it. Just need to decide between the Flash and Zip. I like the compactness of the Zip, but the igniter would be real nice. Only plan on heating water.

Jetboils are great but a better option is the MSR react or windburner.  MSR is just superior quality.  Stay away from all the gimmicky stoves.  Get something that is fast and simple. Pocket rockets are great but on windy days they take forever.   :twocents:

Love my Reactor in terms of burn time but the lack of its own ignition sucks.

that's why it's a fair comparison to the jet boil since the ignitor on the jetboil will stop working after a few dozen uses anyways :chuckle:
