Jetboil Group Cooking System with 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot

I've been backcountry packing for over 20 years, and the Group Cooking System one of the best investments I've ever made. My son carried a Jet Boil Personal Cooking System with him, and we could have easily used that alone for the entire trip, but I wanted to try them both side by side. Both worked flawlessly. What was nice was cooking one-pot meals in the Group Cooking System, and boiling water for coffee or hot chocolate mornings & evenings. This way we wouldn't have had to hike out if a stove failed, and we could carry one type of fuel bottle to operate one or both stoves. On average we boiled 6 cups of water per day and we had plenty of fuel left over--and we only brought 2 4oz fuel bottles! The main thing to learn is, have EVERYTHING ready when you start the stove, because the speed of heating on this stove seems faster than a microwave. Easy to pack, easy to operate, easy to clean. Outstanding!
