small and light, not mega expensive, what is there and what fuel do you use or should i stick with my flask?

Half-decent flask does me (still mourning the loss of my favourite most heat-retaining flask ever).

Minimalism is where it’s at. 🙂

msr pocket rocket.

Theres pocket rocket clones about for around half the price, or if you like spending money theres the optimus crux. On a day ride i’ll generally use a small flask or drink water.

Don’t have one but look good:

Primus Spider Express – amazing stove. Had one for a year now and it’s super fast, very economical on gas too so you only need small cartridge.

I got mine for about £35. Bargain performance for that price

They are remarkably good, bit of a techique to getting them going but thereafter very quick to boil. Bit bulky for a bike I would have thought compared to the MSR and a metal cup.

Jetboil

I have one of these, very small 🙂

+1 for the jetboil

Pocket Rocket + any reasonable size ti mug + C100 100g gas canister.
All fits in the mug, just add water.
I can get my brew on in less than five minutes.
Tastes good and if I take some noodles I get hot food instead of a squashed sandwich.

I also have a Jetboil, really good bit of kit, boils water so fast, but a bit big for the ‘small and light’ requirement?

under 300gms for the Kovea and a C100 cartridge 8)

Psychle.
Have you used the stove much? Does it seem made to last?

Trying a bit hard if you take a stove for a day ride. Technology has brought us containers that retain heat rather than having to carry fire with us.

true, put fire is fun:-)

btw tried the new D’wich canal towpath the other day, gonna be a good little divert off the busy road when it’s finished

Had mine for a few years now, still works fine, though the piezo thing is buggered 🙁 just use a match now 🙂

what about making a coke can stove?

msr pocket rocket.
all the old boys from the R.S.F use em to make a brew when out.
tea tastes better when brewed up outdoors.

too much hassle for me, i prefer a small thermos.

Pocket Rocket + any reasonable size ti mug + C100 100g gas canister.

But get a smaller gas cartridge from a hardware shop for about £1.30….

Best to take a small flask filled up from yer espresso machine though 🙂
