2012 Pocket Stove in Ti and SS

[JonathanD]

The folks that made the cool Honey stove have now mae a smaller version in stainless and titanium. The titanium Pocket being much cheaper than the full ti Honey stove. I use this size stove the most when using my Honey, so it looks like a purchase is on the cards.

Jonathan, looks great. Want one in ti.

It looks like a perfect stove for me to use with my Crusader/Osprey and USGI canteen/cup set ups. Certainly lighter and more compact than the Crusader Cooker base, and it increases fuel efficiency too and decreases boil times too. It will just slide into a pocket in my bag or canteen pouch and take up no space at all.

Certainly makes my MSR xgk seem very heavy.
I don't think I'll be parting with it but may have to get one of the Ti stoves as an everyday carry.
Thanks for posting JD.
Cheers , Simon

It looks as if a lot of thought has gone into the design of that - a very elegant bit of design. I've never used a stove anything like this - my only concern is how fiddly they would be to put together when it's cold.

 

[JonathanD]

It's easy. Takes seconds.

I have the SS one and its cracking little bit of kit, the Ti one is lighter than this one but to me who is not that concerned about a couple of oz in weight saving. I am over the moon with mine great buy. my advice GET ONE.

Many thanks. I've taken the plunge and 'gone Titanium'. I'm really looking forward to its arrival - they look like great bits of kit: really, really light in weight and incredibly versatile!

Just a thought with this stove- why not consider buying a Honey at £39 which includes a small "pocket stove" type cooker (it weighs 35g more than the pocket stove).

That way you have all the honey options open to you. Unless you are a gram weenie (I know some are) 35g is nothing. To give you an idea the side panels are 34g, so 5 of them is the same weight that the square cooker option with baseplate would weigh. Of course if you are just using a meths burner in the slots a bottom plate isn't needed.

For early adopters of the honey the square bottom plate weighs 34g and is found here: http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product572.asp?PageID=0 £4.49 and £3! delivery.

P.S. If anyone wants to sell their bottom plate let me know!

The titanium Honey is near £80!!!

Ti ain't cheap Jon! My posted price was for the SS. (Most) Schrafters aren't into ultralight, usually cheap and functional. Hang on, maybe I'm just cheap

 

[JonathanD]

The SS does me fine too. I've got the full Honey, but at just over half the price, this pocket version would have been better for me as it is smaller and lighter and I only ever use those parts of the full Honey - but it's slightly too long to sit at the base of my pouch. This pocket jobby sits just nicely.

 

[widu13]

I've used both the full and part (square) honey. TBH I find them a bit fiddly, but the concept and practical use side of it is excellent. Us early adopters didn't get the square bottom plate tho

 

[Miyagi]

That is a cracking piece of kit!

Think I'll get the SS one though.
