Liquid fuel stoves
|
Greetings, everybody. From your experience, what are the best liquid fuel stoves for cooking while suspended? I see a lot of reviews for canister stoves but I want a liquid fuel stove for the next time I leave the country. I plan to use the stove while tree camping before the end of the year (and someday on big walls). I was looking at this recently:Primus Suspension Kit with the Primus OmniLite Ti. https://primus.us/products/suspension-kit I figured that the people in this forum have more experience using stoves while suspended than anyone else I personally know. |

Using liquid fuel stoves in a portaledge is generally considered to be a terrible idea due to the risk of flare ups and potential for liquid fuel to spill over all your PPE. Get an msr windburner. |

I love my liquid naphthalene Coleman stove fuel MSR Simmerlite stove on canoe trips, because I can set it on the ground easily. It is lightweight and reliable. The best thing is that you can put the liquid fuel into a pop bottle - Smart Water bottles are the best - and then when you have finished the fuel, you can burn the empty pop bottle in the campfire. I can't imagine struggling with such a setup in a portaledge! It sounds epic to say the least, with more than a little potential for catastrophe. I'll stick with my good ol JetBoil, with the Dr. Piton $2 hanging kit assembly which consists of a $2 hose clamp and some flat 1/2" webbing. DO NOT waste your money buying the hanging kit from JetBoil because it does NOT work! I can't comment regarding the availability of these isobutane canisters in faraway places, although I know it's what Dave Turner used on his month-long solo of Taste the Paine. |
