UL fuel efficient cook system

[Eastman528]

Why not just cook inside, under the vestibule or whatever but, the whole wind issue is very easy to eliminate and I don’t really see any downside risks to it. I’ve never even considered cooking outside, unless it’s a perfect evening or something, and I just wanna be out there cooking.

Hard to cook inside a bivy sack but yes, I do when possible/necessary more so in the late season when it gets dark out early but then I usually pack my Jetboil Zip or use the wood stove and don't pack a stove cuz I am not in a hurry and its less to pack.
To be more specific even when I have a tent/tarp I am often heating water up at a glassing point in the wind breakfast/coffee in the morning or dinner particularly during early season I have found for me personally I would rather eat while glassing then after dark when I am bedded down, I am weird but I sleep better and I am sitting there anyways. If I am on the go then that's different.
This is why gear is so subjective, depends so much on personal preferences and hunting style which can change by the hunt. I am assuming based on your location your situation is completely different so that makes sense you wouldn't be doing that much.
I will say depending on shelter that little BRS is so sensitive you even notice it in a floorless trekking pole type shelter in the wind like a silex etc. but ya its never been a deal breaker. I have managed a 10 day high country mule deer hunt doing breakfast, coffee and dinner on one 100g fuel canister but that was pushing it.

question,
has anyone applied the carbon felt & vet wrap suppressor cover concept to cook pots as an alternative to coozies?
My initial concern would be bits of carbon fiber in my food, but aside from that any thoughts?

edit - ordered some. I will make a cover of some sort, test, and report back.

No fault of the BRS stove, my use involves pots of a liter or a liter and a half. The Windmaster with the four prong handles that easy and I don't need to worry about making a wind break, I have it built in with the stove and pot.

35WhelenAI you should start your own thread about why you don’t like the BRS.

Did you not see I said no fault of the stove, I prefer larger pots so I don't prefer the BRS stove in my ultra light setup. Ultralight for one guy is different than ultra light when there's two or three guys in the group. Appreciate the thoughts.

I made that comment because you didn’t start this thread but you sure have a lot to say for not being a BRS guy. Nothing against you but it just seems like don’t really care about ultralight which was the whole point of why this thread started.

I have the BRS stove. I'm looking forward to using it on a trip later this summer and comparing it directly. However, observations are observations and I'll sacrifice an ounce and a half for a unit that is better constructed, has better built-in wind protection, pressure regular, and something to hold a pot bigger than 750 ml. All performance aside, ultra light doesn't have to do with solo. A handful of ounces more, two or three people are well served and I've said that too.

The thread started in 2021, have you read all 440+ posts since you joined last year? Plenty of comparisons and preferences for other stoves. You are seeing what's going on right now. I appreciate your thoughts, call things like you see them and be straight shooting.

I have not read them all but going back quite a few posts it seems like you’ve posted 90% of them
You’re probably right though. I’m just an idiot that joined last year.

You're going in the weeds now, I didn't start posting till fairly recently as I've tested different pots and compared stoves. You said those words not me.
