We generally drive the 4wd truck to a spot and set up camp and set out from there so weight isn't usually an issue. I have the cimarron just in case we need to venture off and wanted that light weight option.That why I brought up about the duraflame type logs and my buddy and I have discussed the charcoal and coal. If using coal would I need to set it on something other than the bottom of the titanium stove?
Well, if you are just camping from a truck, I'd skip the backpacking stove altogether. If the Cimarron is for venturing out, what shelter are you using at your base camp?
