Looking for my first stove . . . Texas area . . . used for 1 person but adaptable for family or scouting. Would this be a good choice?

I have used on solo trips to Big Bend used both the pots and the 1 liter cup (and French press, awesome coffee!!) and I used both canister and white gas (Dragonfly) and this system with non-stick and super light weight really made it easy for me to pack, use, clean, interchange the items. I have use don the beach also (Big Shell) and it was an easy use compared to all the cumbersome Coleman stoves I used to use ...

I agree. This would be a good group size cooking system but there are others to consider. For instance if you got a higher BTU & more compact stove by itself, you would be able to use any number of pots & pans made by other manufacturers. Personally I like the versatility of using a coated titanium fry pan along with a titanium pot. By using those components, you would have not only a hotter stove but also lighter weight cookware. Just another option to consider.

This would e a great choice. You may also want the companion cup to go along with this then you will be ready for anything !
