UL fuel efficient cook system

[JohnB]

I ordered a JetBoil Zip cozy, used a seam ripper to pull all the excess stitching for the handle & spoon sleeve off and trimmed it to fit my Sterno Inferno pot. It added about 10 grams of pot weight and will hopefully keep my morning coffee warmer for a bit longer. Total pot & lid weight is now 146 grams and with a mini Bic, BRS stove and fuel can I'm at ~405 grams for a complete cook system. I'm not doing any 10 day hunts so this will comfortably get me through my 4-5 day trips with a bunch of extra coffee boils.

I like this mod, my only complaint with my like setup after an 11 day hunt is the sloppiness of the jetboil cozy handle. Seam ripping the handle off and going back to the sterno handles will make it ideal. Thanks for the idea!

The added benefit of the cozy with keeping boil times down/decreased fuel consumption definitely out weigh not having it. I agree with you regarding the sturdiness of the Sterno handles but, I think the best option would be to leave the cozy on and just cut it out to accommodate the handles.

Agreed, that's exactly what I did and I love this little setup.

And all you have to do is poke 4 little holes for the ends of the handle. Be careful because the handle stitching overlaps with the stitching that holds the the cozy together and it's easy to cut the wrong stitch. I reinforced the good stitching with Aquaseal after completing my trimming.

Agree completely, that’s the plan.
