Lets see...i hike all day...stop and set up camp...then cook for two hours? No thank u!

I'm torn between a Fancee Feest for lightweight, and the Trangia for durability!

Been watching a few YT videos of people thru hiking the AT this year. Got me thinking of what stove I would carry if I ever did a thru hike. What would you carry and why?

Hey...that's a great looking stove!

sorry about that...used my phone and got the wrong url...techno i am not! The right one is up now! here it is again!

You could also take the pot and trace the opening on a pie tin, cut it and add a screw with tape on it for the handle. Sorry, just feel DIY is more fun and economical! Don't see why people pay so much for lids that they can make themselves!

That's odd. I use tin foil for my IMUSA pot and also use the tin foil to pick it up on the handle. Have never had any problems. Of course i never let it hit the flame. I also use tin foil as a wind screen. Oh, and i put it under my stove on cold days. Love the stuff...if you can't tell!

Why not just use a piece of tin foil? It's light, folds up, and you could propably use it as a pot gripper also.
