Need a Cup/PotView MessagesViewing posts 1 to 11 of 11 messages posted.
“I have a esbit stove that I carry on winter dayhikes to warm up some water for soup, coffee, etc. I have been using my sierra cup, but the bottom of the cup is too narrow to fit securely on the stove. I keep spilling my water. Does anyone know of a small cup or mug that will fit on one of these stoves? Something that holds 16 oz or so?” 8:00:24 AM 1/08/04 8:06:07 AM 1/08/04 “I have always used a stainless steel pot to heat water. Thinking of titanium. I use a Tupperware cup (w/snap lid) for all my beverages. I'm actually surprised it doesn't get hot. Over the years, I've gotten away from anything that I have to cook on the trail. I like ready-to-eat things with no clean-up, mess or down time. I actually rarely start a fire with the exception of canoe trips & very cold winter nights. (For back-up safety)” 8:06:31 AM 1/08/04 “I absolutely have to have hot water on winter hikes. But I don't have an answer to Bacpac because even my little teflon coated 1-liter black pot slips. I scratched up the bottom and it helps a little, but I have to use my windscreen on the whitegas stove just to hold the pot on.” 8:10:48 AM 1/08/04 “Snowpeak 600 Titanium Mug, holds 21 oz., weighs 2.8 oz., costs $30. MSR Kettle, holds 28.75 oz., weighs 4.2 oz., costs $40. I use the MSR as my main pot. The esbit stove can fit inside if the smell dosen't bother you.” 9:01:00 AM 1/08/04 “I've been lusting after one of those Snowpeak 600 Single Wall Titanium Mugs, but $30 is crazy for a cup. They sure are pretty!” 9:04:35 AM 1/08/04 “Did anyone get one of those Jetboil doodads for Christmas? I'm on the lookout for a gear review.” 9:10:39 AM 1/08/04 “That olicamp pot looks perfect. Thanks” 12:58:15 PM 1/08/04 “I tried putting a nalgene bottle on my esbit. It did not fit either so maybe the Olicamp cup is not the answer either, but I like the concept of it. I took an old hanger and cut two 'U' shaped pieces to fit over the esbit stove and my sierra cup fits fine now.” 6:50:40 AM 1/09/04 “Why not replace the esbit stove with a smaller esbit stove - for example a pot support made of a cylinder of hardware cloth and inside the cylinder a supporting screen/platform for the esbit tab. Add a windscreen and it will probably out perform the stock esbit stove.” 6:59:02 AM 1/09/04 “The esbit stove folds flat with fuel and my two pieces of wire inside.” 7:05:09 AM 1/09/04
