Thread was wrong for the big bottle but I have rangied that and will make a proper part when I get a round toit.
Having used my Jetboil Sol for a few trips now including Fiordland, I have to say I've been very impressed.
It's not super light at 347 grams excluding gas, but it is super efficient and I can turn it down low enough to simmer.
A single 110g gas canister lasted 2 of us 5 days in Fiordland for hot drinks and de-hy meals.
Seems a very well thought out system.

I use a GSI Outdoors Halulite Minimalist pot set. Weighs bugger all and got it from torpedo 7 for about $50. Iv got one of the cheap titanium cookers from aliexpress and can fit the cooker and a small gas canister in the pot
Ditto.Quote:

Nice compact and light and simple little setup. Used it on the hill a couple of times this morning to make hot drinks for mate and myself.
Very happy with it.
Im also refilling the canisters from 9kg gas bottle with a adapter hose from aliexpress, just had to change the fitting that goes into the 9kg bottle. Works bloody mint.
So just grab one off a bbq or can you buy the fittings alone ?Quote:

I use side jet design and boil a cup of water in 2-3min and a litre in 9min. when I boil up a cup I put in only 10mls meths.
Yep similar to me. Got a tiny MSR cooker (its lasted years), and a 1L GSR pot that the cooker, a lighter, knife.forf etc all fit into. Way lighter and less bulky than a jetboil. Nearly as efficient.Quote:

Where is a link to this filler hose? I might have to invest in one.
You will get about 2 threads into the bottle before the missmatched pitch jams it. I ground the rest of the threads off[emoji2] [emoji23] also take the rubber seal off as it wont open the valve in the bottle. It will still seal perfectly.Quote:

Probably isn't a big deal for most people. Mountaineers are usually the ones most interested in that, because time waiting for a brew/hot feed is time getting cold and not moving. Plus when you're melting snow for drinking water the cooker output makes quite a difference.Quote:

@GWH do the handles get hot on the Toaks?
Mine is also titanium and has the same type of handles. They do get warm but even with boiling water you can still hold it with your bare hands easily without getting burnt.Quote:

Right i have purchased.
Pot:
TOAKS 3in1Titanium folding cup ultralight Titanium tableware Titanium pot portable Titanium bowl camping cup Titanium 750ml 110g-in Outdoor Tablewares from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group
Cooker:
Wholesale Product Snapshot Product name is New Arrival Fire Maple Ultralight Outdoor Gas Stove Ultralight 45g Titanium Camping Stove Gas Stove Burners FMS-116T
And another plastic spork.
Should be all up weight of about <170grams and all up cost of $88NZD landed
I went for that cooker based on youtube reviews. The 25 gram was a bit cheaper but just didnt look as well finished and didnt have a big enough spread so would have been unstable.
I decided on the pot size due to it being just the right diameter to fit a small gas cylinder
7gm cooker, plus cup, wire frame and wind shield. 3.5minutes to boil 350ml of water with 20ml of meths. Swing by if you want to see a demo(at a new house though).
@Matt2308 and I have cooked multiple Freeze-Dri meals on this. I have since purchased a 800ml Jetboil from the Gearshop for $112 delivered. This was due to wanting some extra volume.

I thought i was clever putting a windshield around my little gas burner in fiordland on the 2nd day.... must of got bloody hot in there cause the little rubber O-ring that seals up against the gas canister vaporized and gas went everywhere. Lucky munsey had a spare.
I also considered the same jetboil as you got but decided against for no particular reason
Upland Stalker after the crap about TI handels getting hot can I ask how hot your handel gets on that system?
reason i ask is logically it would get hotter than they typical fold out type.
If the soot on the handle isn't enough of a clue, I can confirm it gets very very hot VC!

If its got soot on it its not hot, soot burns off when it gets hot !:D
Pick it up just after the flame has gone out and then tell me it's not hot!Quote:

Yeah, it does get warm, but can still pour the water into a freeze-dri wearing a glove. If making a cup of tea, the time the tea bag has soaked, it's cool enough to hold.Quote:

Hence the laughing smiley in my post ;):thumbsup:Quote:
