Bushbuddy: Coping with Soot

My bushbuddy fits inside my pot and my pot fits inside a small plastic bag…I think some people clean it after each use, but I don't bother.

FWIW, I do the same when I use esbit tabs…pot goes inside a bag.

Soot improves boil times.

I also just throw nest the BB in the pot and then place the pot in a bag. Never had any issues!

Also, does Soot really improve boiling time? Is this anecdotal? I can see the idea behind it and am familiar with the whole black pot thing, but does soot really provide the same affect?

As I suspected; just put it back in its sack leave well enough alone. Thanks!

Improving boil times? Hmm.

I use an old toothbrush to brush off the powdery dust-like stuff on the bottom of the pot/pan. Then use a paper or pack towel to wipe the film off the sides and bottom. Pots/pans always go into a plastic bag.

Welcome to the BushBuddy Appreciation Society, Tim!

I carry a small (7 g) sponge with me, and clean the pot after every use from both the inside (I eat from the pot) and the outside. The pot goes then back into the nice orange sack and in a plastic bag, as the stuff sack lets a bit of soot through.
