I've got the camp chef and 100's of lbs of iron to go with it.   From dutch ovens to big griddles, it all collects dust in the garage.  It's too heavy so I skip it. 

Now for RV camping or bigger groups I just carry the coleman road trip, so much easier to lug around although it doesn't have that wall tent feel  :chuckle:

I have a few MSR stoves, (whisper lite, simmer light, dragon fly), but for ease and convenience I usually grab my jetboil for backpack trips.

Are we talking cooking while backpacking?
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I cook with this.

My grandna would to that as "cook'n with gas" then wink.....yeah grandma.....I get it.  :tup: :chuckle:

Those are two amorous friends who came to camp for a couple of nights and then helped me break down camp. There's a nice kitchen in that trailer and the BBW outside.

I use a pocket rocket and a snow peak titanium pot/lid setup. I’ve had the pocket rocket stove for over 10 years and have had no issue with it. You can easily get one for around $12 on Amazon.

For the size and price i think it’s well worth it. I haven’t burned any water yet :chuckle:

I went cheap

stanley cook cup

stanley cook cup fits in this, good if you carry 1 cook kit for 2 people.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WGMRK3G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

fuel canister, piece of sponge, spare lighter

oh and a long handle spoon, I really like that spoon.  It reaches way down in the bag and gets all the corners clean  :chuckle:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZHML88/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

also the spoon tucks in between the stanley cup and the bottom cup keeping them tight and rattle free. 

If you need pics I'll show you my setup ready to pack, it works well.   The jet boil is probably quicker to boil water but meh   whatever.

I like this kit, couple items could be upgraded for not too much money but I know this works fine.  I just dump hot water into a bag and don't bother with the green plastic cups that come with the stanley so I ditched them.

I got the same exact set up. Take it with me everywhere.  It is only slightly  a bit heavier than a jet boil and you maybe gotta wait a extra minute for it to boil.  Tested this side by side with a jet boil. If you could spare the weight I would go this route over jetboil anyday. I do envy the sleeve on the jetboil cups though lol.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
