I prefer the Pocket Rocket or Snow Peak LiteMax type stoves.

I like the flexibility of using different pots and pans. That said, I can see the value of the complete kit for longer hikes where you only heat water for dehydrated food. I tend to hike to lakes and spend the weekend there. We usually carry more weight in and we make things like pancakes, eggs, and other fun things.

I'm currently packing Snow Peak pots too -- EDGEMAN 04/17/2019 08:13AM

I'm sure that will work out well. -- ScottsdaleHokie 04/17/2019 1:46PM

To elaborate, the additional pots take up room in my pack. Weight isn't... -- EDGEMAN 04/17/2019 09:29AM
