Thread: Ultralight cookset

Been meaning to post up about my ultralight cookset for a while in case anyone is looking for something similar.

It started out as a budget setup, but has proven to be really good over the last few years and I won't be getting rid of it any time soon. Can't say I had the idea first, or even found all the components, but have refined it a little.

It's based on a 750ml titanium pot with fold out handles. The brand is Toaks, but there are a few others with identical specifications.





The utility of the pot is that it is just the right diameter to hold a 110g gas canister. To this I have added a BRS titanium burner, a folding spork and most recently, a Sea to Summit X-Cup which holds 250ml liquid. The cup also fits in the 750ml titanium pot when collapsed. I also carry a small lighter in the kit for convenience, but don't panic, as I have other fire-starting equipment elsewhere in my pack. There is also room for a few sachets of miso soup or coffee in the pot.

I just use the pot to boil water which gets poured on to a dehydrated meal. I haven't had great experiences cooking directly in titanium pots, so wouldn't recommend it.



Total weight is 377g.



Everything apart from the X-Cup and obviously the gas canister were order from AliExpress. At the time, prices were dirt cheap. I see prices have gone up quite a lot over the last few years, but worth shopping around for a good deal if you're after something like this setup.
