Thread: Cooking systems - gas vs hexamine stove/ open fire

Here's a useful little tip for those using gas cannister stoves, particularly in the colder months.

I got showed this on a recent trip with a chap who has done a fair bit of winter tahr hunting.

Put a pop up bowl (I use a sea to summit one) under the cannister.



Creates a more stable base as well. Only put a small amount of water in the pot initially ( just enough to pour into the bowl to go about 1cm or so up the cannister)

Start the cooker and heat to not much more than warm. Poor warm water into the bowl while leaving cooker going. Note how much better it starts burning.

Fill pot with amount of water needed. Return to heat.

This makes the gas cookers work far more efficiently in colder temps, boils water much faster and conserves gas.

It's a great trick and the little expandable bowl comes in handy too.
