What do you cook with?

[Night goat]

Used to pack around a 2 burner propane coleman stove.... Pretty much the standard issue camp stove...

Switched over to a single burner primus and a cast iron dutch oven and fry pan, cook in the fire most of the time whem I have a fire going

Then bought my alaknak so when not in bear country I jist put the cast iron on the woodstove

Looking to get a backpacking set upand have been exploring options.

My primus is a backpacker stove albiet an unrefined basic butane burner.... Also have a backpacking gas lantern/lamp which I absolutely love, but gotta carry gas...

Anybody use a jet boil?

Considering just using what I got and buying a collapsing solicone set of pots and pans and plates, pretty low profile...

Seen some ultra basic cook stoves made from a tuna can that burn alcohol or stove fuel or white gas...

So much gear on the market....

I like my jet boil. Works well for me.

I run a jet boil, but may consider getting the campchef version if I needed to replace it for some reason.

Its handy having everything stow in the cup, but mine doesnt cook well with a pan on it, I basically just use it to boil water.

Got 5 good years out of mine and counting. There are lighter options out there but for simplicity and convenience it’s hard to beat. I don’t cook with a pan when backpacking though it’s mostly boiling for coffee and House

When backpacking I bring a can of stew. First night the stew goes in a pot and the can becomes a stove that burns twigs. Redneck, cheap, whatever, it works and it's light and I like canned stew.

Jetboil Flash. If you’re backpacking, no pans needed (just a titanium cup for coffee, maybe titanium bowl for oatmeal).  It’s freeze dried chow on the mountain brother, just need boiled water.

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 also have a jetboil, I also have the pan and pot for it. It has all worked well for me.
I don't generally pack the pan or pot, but have used them when camping out of my jeep.
there are lighter and less expensive options, I'd buy a jet boil again if needed.

stanley cook cup fits in this, good if you carry 1 cook kit for 2 people.

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

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 have a few different stoves. For personal backpacking I prefer the MSR Pocket Rocket and ti cup or similar pot, more versatile than a JetBoil and have always hated them for no good reason. For bigger backpacking groups I have an MSR Reactor, Coleman single burner, MSR Whisper Lites, and a few others over the years.

For big groups in a campground I have a Coleman 2 burner cylinder stove that gets most of the use. Looking for a bigger unit now, maybe on of the Camp Chef stoves.
