Very excited about this set
Pros: Light, Compact, Hot Surface, Fast Start
Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, Winter Camping
I'm really excited to take this out to woods for a few days. It's going to be great for my winter backpacking weekends. The entire package fits inside the bowl and lid, and comes with a chamoise to keep things from getting scratched, and to clean with. Set up is super easy and the ignitor adds no extra weight but will be a superior system for when there's high winds or gusts. The system can be used with or without the windscreen depending on what condistions you expect for your trip, but it all fits inside the same bowl so you might as well bring it. Nothing in the kit is overweight, and filling the bowl 3/4 of the way with cold water while using the windscreen yeilded boiling water in about 2 minutes.
I haven't cooked in the bowl yet, but the heat level is adjustable, and you can raise or lower the bowl/frying pan by raising or lowering the rests so I think it will cook more evenly than the "burn it, sear it, hot, hot, hot!!" units we have probably all used.
No field use yet, but I have to recommend this unit based off of initial expectations stemming from out of box evaluation.
By the way, our cat is HUGE, don't use him for scale!
