Seen this earlier having heard about it off another forum, expedition portal, anyone seen it in the flesh, used it, etc?

Looks good and usual jetboil standard but for car camping, day vans maybe?

It looks very overpriced, you could probably make up a similar kit for half the cost. Granted it might not nest together like the jetboil kit but in a car or van etc.. shouldn't be a problem.

Wow that is a lot of money for a two ring gas burner set up. It might look sexy, be built very nicely, and made by Jetboil, but I don't think it brings to the plot anything new or even better. With that budget you could buy a kitchen.
Its not a featherweight, so truck, boat or pack animal carry. Fry pan and large pot is at least two pots short to cook a Master Chef feast. Gas has to be carried separately and when feeding the masses then a big gas tank is a must.

There are titanium things that are better to throw money at, and burners that can do it all too. So for the life of me I can't work out who its marketed at. If it had a kitchen sink attached then they might have a case.

It looks nice, but I wonder if you'd be better off just going for a pair of MSR Whisperlite universals... Would be lighter and cheaper... and more versatile. Combine it with a couple of Primus Eta pots...

Its very telling that they are using propane, is this a sign that the regulators just dont cut it with butane when the cannister is cold ?
