Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set

Summary

This is the perfect size cookset for an alcohol soda can stove with a windguard/potstand made from a large soup can. The stove and fuel can easily fit inside and the large soup can slides right over the exterior. The 2 insulated cups make it so you can easily eat your food while it is still hot. The lid reduces cooking time, but it can also be used as a strainer. The handle folds away nicely and does not get hot.

This cookset is the perfect size for an alcohol soda can stove and a windguard/potstand made from a large soup can. The soup can fits snugly over the lower end of hte pot and the stove will fit inside the nested cups inside the pot. I like using alcohol for fuel because it can also be used as part of the first aid kit. 

The handle folds over to hold the lid on while packed and locks in place when in use. This cookset is durable and easy to clean. If traveling solo, the cups can be left at home to save weight.

Summary

This is a very sturdy set. A little heavy. Set wt. 13.8 oz. or 390 g. without the cups 7.8oz. 220g. I found to use it without the cup. A canister fuel can will fit inside with a small stove and small spork. The lid is vented and you can strain with it and the lifting tabs locks up. The handle locks in tight. Measures on side to 20 oz. can hold up to 24 oz. I bought it for around $14.50 at Target. Well worth the money. Would work real good for younger hikers or others hard on gear. would be great for scouting. One cup wt. 3oz.

I have used this cook set on two scout hiking trips. For dehydrated food and such this set never fails.

Three of my scouts have this set too. I got this set to show them. The kids are hard on gear. They don't have any dents in their sets, so it's almost bullet proof. 

It will take longer to cool down but on the other hand it will stay warm longer. If you do burn something in it you won't have to worry about scrubbing too hard. The handle will get hot, but not too bad. The handle locks down tight.

About 6 strainer are in a row on the lid, so you can strain water out. The tap for lifting the lids locks straight up. You can do some measuring on the side. IT does hold about 24 oz total. I didn't use the cup. Heavy duty cups.

Price for this set is real good. I can fit my canister fuel in it with a pocket rocket, spork, and lighter. 

Hope this was helpful.

Summary

This is well made, but does not fit well on our backpack stoves--too small. Also it does not use stove fuel efficiently being such a small diameter it takes longer to boil water than a larger pot.

We tried this out making mac and cheese for a picnic. Took a lot longer to boil water due to the small diameter. Would only fit on one of our stoves due to this also. It is nicely made and the cups feel good in your hand and keep tea warm, but are a bit heavy.

Summary

This is a perfect mess kit for one or two people (if they're both minimalists). Lightweight.

This inexpensive kit is perfect for a backpacker.

Summary

I have used this with a home made white box style alcohol stove and it works great. Solid and dependable. Very well thought out.

I bought this little unit because I like to test different products with my different alcohol stoves. I have to admit that this is one of my favorites.

Sure, it is heavier than TI, but I think you are better off saving those ounces somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, I really like my two Snow Peak TI cooksets, but for the extra money, are they worth it?  

The metal lid is a nice feature when using alcohol stoves. The higher flame scorched the silicone lid on my Snow Peak unit and started to melt the edge on the clear plastic lid on my GSI unit.  They are both great, but best used with a gas stove.

If you are planning on using alcohol or wood fired stoves, this is a good solid choice.

Summary

Good idea but for me too heavy. Very versatile and ingenious idea!

The cups were the main weight, although you could always leave them at home. The other thing that I thought was an issue was the handle. The lid is super cool has a couple holes for vent.

I think it was clever, just they lost me when it came to the weight. Not sure on weight since I don't own a scale but my hands sure know when something is too heavy for me! I found mine at Target and also saw it at Walmart. Could see it lasting for years very durable.

In the end I decide not to get it.
