Just wondering what everyone carries in the way of cooking/kitchen stuff. Mine changes depending on my mood, whether I'm testing something and trip length.

The usual set up for a single, solo overnight would be something like:

Hard anodised aluminium 750ml pot
Foil lid
Can stove
Polystyrene cup
Ti spork or spoon
400ml fuel
Foil wind shield

<predictable_question>

What does that weigh?

</predictable_question>

Without fuel - 189g

Fuel adds - 320g ... yes I drink far too much tea

Depends on the trip!
Cheapy Tesco's (Campart) pots of different sizes are the pan choice. All have lids, 750ml one is best because it has a pouring spout as well for draining pasta etc.
Small double-wall metal mug is usually in because I wreck plastic/polystyrene ones.
Small coffee pot if I'm feeling decadent.
G4 Challenge spork
Foil wndshield
Stove depends on what/where/with whom
- multiple people = Whisperlite
- two people = Blaze ti gas stove
- just me, lightweight = can stove
A lot of times I'm away with a group so carting the extra weight of the MSR and a bigger pot pays off.

When I get round to it (nearly there) I reckon I'll have the ultimate 1 night or 1 week cook set. all packs together

From outside inwards (a la Russian Doll)

MYOG Cosy
- MyTiMug & lid
- Caldera Clone with fissure
- Lifeventure 450ml Mug.
- Plastic bag (everything below goes inside the bag then inside the 450ml mug)
Can stove
Scouring pad
Film pod with matches in
60ml Meths (just enough for 2 full 750ml boils of teh MyTiMug - anymore has to be carried outside)
Folding Ti Spork

This can then be complemented with a Orisako folding bowl which just makes life easier in that you never have to wash anything up.

The MyTiMug is only used for boiling water
The 450ml Mug is only used for coffee
Folding bowls can be unfolded and wipe (lick) clean

Can rotate through this lot depending on what I'm doing and going

Stove
Whitebox
Optimus Crux
MSR XGK Ex (only stove that will never let me down)

Pot
MSR Ti Kettle w/ Anti Gravity Gear Cozy
GSI Haulite
MSR Alpine

MSR Ti Mug
Mont Bell Ti Mug w/ Foil Lid
Raidlight Folding Cup

The Crux is definently the easiest stove to take, and a much more stable platform than the whitebox, in fact the GSI Haulite is too narrow for the Whitebox. The XGK can also be used for welding snapped frames.

Stuart,

400mls fuel for one night? That's 20ish boils?!
400mls, in container = 320g, really, what fuel?!

Vargo ti-lite 700ml mug & lid 132g
Caldera cone inc. stove 65g
Matches in sealed bag 13g
Sea-Summit Lhoon 11g
Poly-lina pour & store eating bag 11g

232g, but usually add 104g of fuel inc. it's bottle, so 246g for all cooking kit to do an evening meal, supper, breakfast and 1 spare boil for emergency cuppa!

I like a lot of tea Anthony I always take more than required, the thought of running out makes me feel ill.

I may have underestimated how much was in the bottle when I weighed it ... obviously that seems quite light for 400ml.

A man got to have a brew.

Actually that's one of great plus points about the caldera cone, it is far more efficient than my previous red bull or lynx stove so over a few boils the slight weight penalty becomes irrelevant. It's also far more reliable and stable in the wind. Boring though, I'm no longer fettling new designs!
