Just seen this! I saw a couple in Blacks in Liverpool the other weekend and walked away!!!!!
This week I bought a vargo decagon stove,I've been playing with it in the garden and as a solo cooker it works really well.
At first I thought it wouldn't hole enough fuel to boil a mug of water but after a few trials it will boil 1 litre on one fill.I didn't bother to time it because I've never thought to myself "This is a bit slow so I won't bother".
The stove is extremely light and easy to use,it's very stable as it's so close to the ground but it does need a windsheild to get the best out of it.It fits neatly in the bottom of an MSR titan kettle along with Ti folding spork,Ti mug and a firesteel and striker.My cook kit now weighs 250g!!!!
and hasn't been compromised in any way.I can still boil water and cook the same as with a gas stove just a bit slower but easier to pack and carry.
I'm just waiting for the 7 inch Ti frying pan that I ordered to arrive and my cook kit is complete so hopefully I won't need any more Ti kit.
Mind you ,that evernew stove does look nice.

Just bought the Evernew 600ml pan for cooking fry ups (and the twin egg carrier of course 
)
Now i need to get a snow peak 900 for my SP 700. Not too fussed about the stoves even though they look pretty gucci

I've bought some cast iron this week Nat
I am confused
Want some for the kitchen but not camping out!

Lol, whilst checking out dutch ovens on ebay I came across an 8" skillet for under £12 delivered so I couldn't resist.
The irony is I'll probably be cooking with it over my titanium Yukon stove

Ok that looks good! If i took the family camping i'd buy cast iron, but it isn't going to happen so i'll resist that temptation - for now

Nomad........must resist,must resist.OH! NO no willpower order being placed later this week.
Thanks Shewie,now the wife is going spare.
Lol, just sharing the knowledge Chris
p.s Just remembered mine's the Yukon not the Nomad
How does it compare to the honey stove Shewie?
HOW MUCH POSTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok i've just read it properly otherwise £46 for a titanium Nomad and then £48 p&p is a bit daft!

My excuse is that i've been awake since 6pm last night and worked a 9 hour night shift
Ahh yeah, well spotted.
That's a good price including postage from Winnipeg, I think I paid £90 all in for my Yukon so it's only a couple of quid more now.
What sort of food do you guys cook in your Ti pots? Is there a noticable difference between the cooking times / temperatures between Ti and Ali / steel?
The reason I ask is I assume that unless you used a lower heat you would risk burning the food you are cooking, considering the potential difference in the metals ability to transfer heat. This question might not quite make sense, but I cannot think of the exact terminology that I should be using!
