New cook stove on the market

Looks nice but yeeeeeshh

My biggest issue with these systems is the inability to cook with them in a campfire. If I have a fire, I'm using it to cook to save fuel or slow simmer meals. I've also run out of fuel on several occasions. It's my number 1 reason I never switched to jet boil type stoves and stick with my titanium cook set. Anything that melts or burns doesn't make the cut. Boils water quickly, but doesn't have much functionality beyond that.

Always neat seeing a company founded by hunters go for it.

Had Chris on the Rokcast to talk about the new stove. It's the last twelve minutes of the podcast if you want to skip ahead.

My thoughts exactly. MSRpocket rocket and titanium. I even run a solo stove lite sometimes, don’t even need a fuel canister.

My only real issue with this roughridge stove is the lid made of plastic and silicone. I think the pot itself would survive a campfire, but the lid would absolutely burn up.

I use a toaks 750ml nested in a toaks 1100ml. The 750 holds a small fuel canister and a soto windmaster and mini bic. I don't care much for the 750's lid because it doesn't seal tight, but the 1100 converts into a small pan and seals inside the pot lip and creates a tight seal. The lid creating a tight seal is a huge factor with fast boils and minimizing evaporation. I keep it in a waterproof bucket container I took off a GSI Halulite Microdualist. I wish they sold those separate, because it's extremely useful as a sink or hauling around dirty water.

I usually carry a really small titanium firebox around 3oz. I try to use wood fire whenever possible so it's usually worth the weight outside of day hunts or back at camp.

The system as a whole is around 1lb + firebox, but totally worth the weight. I can pull out just the 750ml and tie it in a bandana if I need to drop weight. Versatility and durability is super important to me. Maybe something to consider for future iterations.

Saw these at the hunt expo. Pretty interesting setup up. Not sure it’s enough to get me to switch from what I already have.

What if you hunt above treeline with nothing to burn to have a fire? And you have to carry it all the way there.
Pot with heat exchanger is the go for this.
I use a jetboil and get 3-4 boils a day for 10 days put of a 110gm canister.
That sounds considerably more than the 14-18 boils quoted earlier in this thread.

No stove and pot combo comes close to the efficiency of the jetboil that I know of.
For long duration trips the jetboil is the lightest system because you can carry so much less fuel

How are you getting 30-40 boils out of a 110 fuel canister?

I agree; I also like to cook over an open fire at times instead of using my canister. It makes a mess of the pot, but it scrubs off.

Then I use my stove and fuel, and an extra can if necessary. The Soto Windmaster is very fuel efficient, but is still useless without fuel. I would consider a jetboil if I was exclusively eating freeze dried meals and had no wood to burn, but more often than not I'm in the woods hanging out and having a good time and will pack tasty food to cook. It's not worth it to change my cook system when mine works perfectly for me.

I also don't camp above treeline. Too cold, too exposed, not enough water. Plenty of dead wood here in CO.
