Product Description
The Titan is an ultralight stove designed to burn wood, sticks, and leaves without an external fuel source. At 16.5 ounces, this stove is ideal for lightweight backpackers looking to shed heavy canister fuels and burners Read More
you do no need to carry fuel. Granted there is a smaller version that is a better compairison to this one At 8oz. But at a pound it does not take long on fuel weight savings for this stove to come out ahead.
P_J_NIn this case, the Titan name merely suggests a large size, like Giant, because the Solo Stove is made in several models that increase in size but they are all made from stainless steel. They don’t currently make any from titanium.
I think I’ll stick to my alcohol stove/windscreen and my Kelly kettle. The kettle is bulky but light and I simply strap it to the outside of my pack or my bike when bikepacking.
AdventureDanI too carry a Kelly kettle. I saw the Kelly when I was attached to Her Majesty's Marines, working with the Scottish Royal Engineers and Special Boat Service. Almost every Marine platoon, especially those with Highlanders in them, carried at least two Kelly Kettles. Even though we were in the field, can't miss tea time. I fell in love with how easy the Kelly Kettle boils water with little fuel. Sitting on my Esbit stove my Kelly Kettle boils water quickly. I also have a MSR tea kettle but don't like it as well as my Kelly. The Solo stoves are nice and I am going to grab one probably tossing it the BOB in my Gagoneer.
A one pound stove doesn't exactly qualify as Ulta light by any stretch of the imagination. My homemade alcohol stove, stand and windscreen weighs in at 1.1 oz..... that's ultra light!
There is some truth in that. I burn an average of 1.25 oz of alcohol per day. With the weight of my stove plus fuel, anything over 12 days between resupply and the wood stove wins. Unless one is above treeline of course.
