Which cook system?

Trangia and a jetboil

I bought one of these last year and it's great, bargain price too

I have been using a petrol stove from Coleman for years and that's great too but cannot simmer for slow cooking especially at altitude.

B) I bought one of the £7.99 jobs;the braided sleeve had a fee jaggy bits poking out, the arms are not as nicely made as my MSR windpro and the burner got red hot in operation.
Boiled water as quick as the MSR and simmer control was OK.
I am a bit concerned about the burner head going red though !!

before you know it you will own 20 stoves.

Sadly I have been affected by this syndrome and actually do own more than 20

Actually, the MSR Whisperlite univesral might tick all the boxes coupled with a canister adapter. This is probably next on my list as I need to replace the pump on my aging Whisperlite. TBH gas is just more convenient for my needs.

I've got one of those. Very good stove but it wasn't the last.

With bike travel, I think you can afford a few extra grams of gear weight. If you're carrying it on your back however, light is best.

I'd like something that can actually cook bacon and eggs or a steak. I like my food!

Simmer control is important, simple maintenance also. Why would someone want a complex stove?

What's with the stoves being silent? I'm not going tactical in Nam....? o0

Haha, I don't mind owning a few stoves for various setups. You should see my backpack collection 8)

I've seen a Youtube video where the MSR pocket rocket beat a jetboil by 30 seconds.

Coleman petrol burner, fuel never a problem.

I agree with the coleman petrol stove if you actually want to cook a meal. Buy a non-stick frying pan and you will be away with one of these. I used one for a couple of years when car camping and it was faultless.

It's a great looking stove, bombproof between service intervals. The only thing is I wouldn't use non stick due to the "perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA)" (Google) and prefer to go stainless or ceramic.
