stainless steel for a "solo" stove??? lol wow . if it ain't Ti it don't fly. how a SS stove and pot gets picked from any pole for backpacking and the like is beyond me. you want a backpacking pot this size? skip this ss crap and do yourself a favor and search MLD 850ml Titanium Pot, the pot is 40 bones, then pick one of a gazillion backpacking stoves, be dirt cheap alcohol or as this says a "bio mass" stove. and realize you feed this when burning in that gap that is opened while cooking, and GOOD bio mass stove feeds from the bottom, with this the tiny tiny twigs you burn HOPEFULLY sit on that wide gaped grate they are designed to rest on with out falling to the bottom. oh and you best gather a shit ton of tiny twigs your gonna be feeding this thing like a ravenous beast.
watch the video on the solo stove site, what a joke.
do your research there are better options for a bio mass stove, I already told you likely the best pot in this size range 600 to 1000 ml , so go find yourself a GOOD stove and RUN from this drop fast as you can. you'll thank me for this info :) thanks and good day, Happy Trails.

dinna89I'd like to see you guys rampaging about the FULL SIZE tents that keep getting posted on here! Or the giant 60L backpacks! This weighs less than a half pound, you get fuel when you get to the campsite, so TOTAL weight of stove/fuel is a half pound.
An alcohol stove (which is the most common UL stove) uses alcohol... you have to bring that with you. A week of alcohol weighs more than a half a pound, and then you have to camp out with an empty bottle too.
I do agree this is a little overpriced, it would be a good price if it were made of titanium (and the pot it comes with is a little shoddy). One problem with using titanium is that in order for a woodgas stove to work properly it needs to heat the air going through the wall. Titanium has horrible heat transfer properties, that's why cooks prefer copper and then SS pans.
