Description

Heat-It is an “all weather cooking system” you use with your current backcountry stove and cookware setup to increase energy efficiency (up to 40% in non-windy conditions, even more in cold and windy conditions). The company, Ortik from Portugal, claims the Heat-It system will let you boil 12 liters of water in 7 knots of wind with 100 grams of fuel.

Made from a fire retardant textile, the Heat-It looks like a soft cook pot, and can be used on the ground or as a hanging system for big wall climbing or inside a tent. It has a drawstring closure on top for extra wind protection or to close the top making it a mountain oven for cooking bread or cakes. It'll also store your stove and cookware in your pack for transport.

"I've bought one at the OR 2007 in Salty Lake but I think they also sell it by e-mail.

I've used it with my MSR PocketRocket and it worked perfectly. It's heated much faster than usual and I cooked inside the tent. First time I felt secure to do something like that."
