Greetings! Well, we just returned from an extended trip and we were thrilled to see Hikin’ Jim post about dry baking with Bobcat Cooking System using the Epicurean Titanium Stove with Esbit.
We are glad to see people interested in dry baking. At FLAT CAT GEAR, we developed a particular dry baking technique and you can use this technique with equipment that you already own. Below is a link to a video on how to do this. The trick is being able to tune your stove to a steady 100 watt output. We developed this technique as a safe way to bake when using titanium pots.
Note that tuning a stove output can be tricky, particularly when using an alcohol stove. This is due to the thermal feedback from the pot and windscreen (Esbit is far less sensitive to this type of feedback). This is a good DIY project, however; if you are looking for a more turnkey system, we are offering Backpackinglight members 30% off the Epicurean Titanium or Epicurean Titanium UL15 stove through the month of May. Go to our website (www.flatcatgear.com), order your hardware and BEFORE making your payment, add the comment Backpackinglight30%. After your order is placed, I will send you the 30% refund.
Bon Appetit,
Jon

Here is some additional information about our Epicurean Titanium Stove for solid fuels.
the Epicurean Titanium Stove
Weight – 14 grams
Size – 2 3/8” by 2 3/8” by 1 ¼ “ tall
Materials – Stove body grade 2 Titanium (handle, silicone), Baseplate Aluminum
Burn Times (Esbit) – ~14 minutes on high / 50 – 60 minutes in simmer/bake mode
General – In high mode, you can boil 2 cups of water in about 9 minute with a total burn time of ~14 minutes. This is enough to boil 3 cups of 70 F water.
The Epicurean Titanium UL15 Stove
Weight – 7 grams
Size – 2 3/8” by 2 3/8” by 1 ¼ “ tall
Materials – Stove body Grade 2 Titanium (handle, silicone), Baseplate AluminumThe performance of the two stoves are nearly identical. The Epicurean Titanium UL15 Stove was designed to meet the needs of people who count every gram. The stove is in the middle of BETA testing as it is unknown if the weigh differential (7 grams savings) is significant.
The video link below descibes the difgferences between the two models.
One of our customers recently purchased an Epicurean Titanium stove for use with his Caldera Cone (the stove needs to be elevated ~1/2"). After a few bakes, he started developing a recipe to take out on the trail. His goal is to teach his grandkids about the joys of backpacking and wanted something special to give them as a treat. If you follow the link below, it will take you to our website. On the left hand side, you will see a link that says Monkey Bread. Click on the link to download the recipe. Thank you Kenneth!
