    Billy Pots? Good, Bad, other?

    I hadn't considered using a Tiffin but, that sounds like a really good option for general utility tasks when out in the woods.

    Liquid fuel stoves? Diesel, Kerosene, car gas?

    The gas/IsoButane win for convenience but, in cold weather are a no-go for me. The cost fuel cartridges adds up too. For a quick boil for a tea or coffee or anything similar, it works really well. I can get a gallon of Naphtha for ~$5USD so, cost of operation will be a lot less with a liquid...

    Liquid fuel stoves? Diesel, Kerosene, car gas?

    Good to know. I'm not looking for super fine control but, I do need some adjustability. Thanks! I'll look into that one. I was leaning slightly towards that one from reading about its features. Higher maintenance is expected. That's part of why I was looking at something with the...

    Liquid fuel stoves? Diesel, Kerosene, car gas?

    Some of the new ones have an updated nozzle that is multi-fuel compatible and, some have a magnetic nozzle cleaner as well. I would prefer to have one with the "universal fuel" nozzle and the embedded magnetic jet nozzle cleaner if possible.

    Liquid fuel stoves? Diesel, Kerosene, car gas?

    First, I have a Soto Windstopper IsoButane 'gas' stove so, I'm covered there. However, I really need a stove that will burn unleaded, kerosene, diesel, and similar liquid fuels, not just Coleman "white gas/naphtha". Charcoal and wood are not an option. I am thinking MSR Dragonfly initially but...

    Billy Pots? Good, Bad, other?

    Sounds like a Titanium 'cup' with a handle bail is probably a better way to go. As mentioned above, not having handles on the side of a Bill Pot is problematic. Aliexpress will deliver a ~750mL Ti cup/mug/pot like this for less money as well. I scored a good deal on a Boundless Voyage...

    French press obsession?

    Amazon UK has dumped some products on my doorstep in Texas for a modest cost! Won't help with VAT but, at least that might cut the shipping cost some!

    Weber GoAnywhere BBQ

    Yank here from Texas. I don't recall seeing side handles on the WGA's I have been around. They were all top handles so they were more compact when packed for travel. I'm not sure why I would want side handles on a small grill like this.

    Small pressure cooker?

    I have been searching and Googling for the "pressure" cooker attachment in the Ti6300 "premium" set without success. ☹️

    Small pressure cooker?

    Thanks! It is awesome, especially around Zion National Park where I camp as deer often come in at night to graze and greet me in the morning! Montanna "Speed Goats" (Pronghorn) are nice too but, never that close. Cooking Pintos at home, which is near the Texas coast (~3 hours away), is much...

    Weber GoAnywhere BBQ

    Not even on Amazon UK? Amazon is where I generally look for PK Grills but, I can order direct if I want since I'm in the USA.

    Weber GoAnywhere BBQ

    If you like that little Weber, be sure to check out PK Grills. I prefer them over the Weber for better low and slow smoking. The WGA though is a great for grilling! COVID and supply chain problems (inflation) sure have made them spendy these days! :cry: https://www.pkgrills.com/pkgo-w-flipkit/

    My new wood stove.

    That really looks like a nice option for out here in Texas (USA).

    Billy Pots? Good, Bad, other?

    The Soto WindMaster Stove with 4Flex Pot Support has made pretty thick oatmeal in my Titanium cup without scorching. I do need to stir it a little and use a reasonable flame level. If I don't stir at all, it will get a little over browned in the bottom. Your burner matters a lot more with Ti...

    Small pressure cooker?

    A different bean is certainly a valid consideration but, growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, I have a strong affinity for Pinto beans, especially spicy ones with a bit of Mex/Tex-Mex spice, even better with some barbeque (real BBQ, not grilling ;)). Navy beans, which are more common in the...

    Small pressure cooker?

    How are those Hawkins models? Good pressure cookers for the money?

    Crusader cup mk2

    The Chinese Ti I have is a dead ringer for Snowpeak Ti which I have use for a long time. I would call this Chineseum crap because the tooling marks, seams, etc. are a dead ringer for Snowpeak equivalents. Since most Titanium comes from Russia and the manufacturing is in China, I feel these are...

    Small pressure cooker?

    When camping, I like to fix beans for supper but I am starting to camp at modest altitudes where dry beans take many hours to cook even when pre-soaked for 12~24 hours. By modest altitudes, I'm talking about 3000~6000 feet (1,000~2,000m) not mountaineering altitudes! What is a good pressure...

    Billy Pots? Good, Bad, other?

    I am wondering about Billy Pots and whether I should get one. And, if so, why one of them over something like a Titanium cup or pot. TIA, Sid

    Crusader cup mk2

    How do these compare to one of the Titanium cups? I can get the Titanium cooking pots and mugs for a lot less than one of these cups so, I'm wondering what I'm missing. For those commenting about burned lips and such, the double wall Ti cups are awesome for coffee and tea! I should note that...
