Don't Toil; Boil!
By Kretzky
Ranked #353 - Canister Stoves
August 7, 2009
This is my go to stove for backpacking. It's even taken up residence in my pack for some out of bounds skiing. Being perfectly content packing meals from mountain house and backpacker pantry, all I ever have to do is boil water. The best part - I never have any cleanup. I think I've cleaned this thing twice in the three years I've owned it. And that was when I made some lipton minute noodles in the mug.
If you're boiling water and dumping it in freeze dried meal packs you'll be eating way before your friends. Its also great for making a mean cup of hot cocoa on cold mornings. So while your campmates are busy toiling with their stoves, you'll be done boiling and enjoying a warm meal and a cup of hot chocolate!
