Evernew Titanium Mug Pot 500 Stove Set RED ECA268R

This is a slick set that works so well together and weighs so little. Having a complete set like this makes it very convenient to use like a Jetboil - every part works together and it all packs away so neatly. No need to buy/make a stove, buy a pot to fit on it, and then make a stand and windscreen. Sure it takes about 5-1/2 mins to boil 2 cups of water instead of 2+ minutes on a canister stove (like a Pocket Rocket or Jetboil), but that difference is really negligible most of the time (except possibly in the dead of winter.) I believe more people would turn to an alcohol stove if they saw this Appalachian set. Way to go Evernew!

This is a great little stove set. Takes some practice to figure out how much alcohol to use for the amount of water to boil. Keep in mind this stove is mainly for boiling water. You cannot control the flame! The handles do get very hot so face the handles into the wind to keep them cool while cooking. I love how compact this set is and how it all nestles into the pot. If you run out of alcohol, you can burn sticks to boil your water. If you want to go even lighter then you can just use the alcohol stove and buy the cross stand.

This is a great product with considerable fuel versatility. You can use this system to burn solid fuel (Esbit) or wood. The alcohol burner is best in class. I use the Heat brand gas additive (Yellow) as fuel. The whole package is feather light. It would be "5 star" if the pot were just a tad bigger, say 700ml.

Just used my new system this morning and I love it. It boiled water in 5.21 minutes and that's hard to beat. I will have to say that it's definitely my new solo stove. I will never use my canister stove unless it's it's more than two in my backpacking party. The only downside to this stove is that it's has to burn out so you need to know how much fuel you need to cook with. It also doesn't come with a simmer ring but I could care less. I only boil water for freeze dried meal anyway so it's perfect for that!!!

Great set - had been saving up for this and the wife surprised me with it for Christmas - double bonus as now I can use my money for something else. It's thinner and lighter than I was expecting. But I guess that's the whole point.Excited to go use this in the field. I will definitely bring my backup "old reliable" until I get more confident with this new lightweight.

Super lightweight extra durable. I think there are some cases where if you were just try to boil other options may be cheaper and faster. It takes a little bit to get boiling not to long though and when using titanium to cook with its pretty optimal as far as taking on to much heat. When I say cooking though I mean boiling something with noodles not so much trying to cook a hamburger.

The stove burns too hot and the flame extends well beyond the edges of the pot, so a lot of the heat is wasted.I had better luck when I used a windscreen. But if I have to use a windscreen, why bother with the Evernew stove pipe?

I am going to start with the positives. The stove is a monster. I also own a Toaks Siphon stove and this is at least twice as fast. It will boil the included pot in about 3.5 minutes. The Toaks is closer to 8 minutes. More if its windy. Although the Toaks is a lot easier on fuel usage.Now for the bad. Keep in mind that I am speaking about the product as it comes. It may be different with a larger pot or a different pot holder. This not about the stove specifically. Its as it comes as a kit.Cons. Way too hot. To the point that it will blister your skin. Even the red rubber lid tab gets extremely hot. You will need thick gloves to touch the handle on the pot. The reason is that the flames come out of the holes in the top of the pot holder and make direct contact with the pot handles. I have leather gloves and it still gets too hot. This is from someone that has welded for years so I know what hot is. I can't see how this kit gets the high reviews that it gets. IF you want to lug around welding gloves then there isn't an issue. However, I am a long distant backpacker and that is just unacceptable.I cannot recommend this set as it comes and I would not purchase again. Maybe get the stove and the other pot holder that is available. Unless you really need the wood burning capability I would not get this kit.
