I just received a BRS stove. Wondering any home made suggestions on how to store it to protect it
I recently used this GSI Pinnacle Soloist pot (just the pot and the cup, left everything else at home). <span style=”line-height: 1.8;”>I really like how the handle locks in the canister and the cup. But, its not the lightest pot and for the amount of water I need to boil, its a little big. I did use the cup for my coffee. </span>

<span style=”line-height: 1.8;”>Now, I have looked at a bunch of lightweight pots but I dont think any of them have the handle feature that locks in whatever is inside the pot. Perhaps there are some out there that do that? If not, how do you guys do it; keep all cooking things inside the pot? (canister, stove if small enough, cup if it fits). Thank you</span>

If you tie a knot about in the middle of the loop, so the knot will be positioned on the bottom of the pot, it won’t slip off the pot as easily. I’ve attached two photos (this is in a 1.6L pot) to show you how it works.

May 2, 2016 at 9:57 pm #3399406Keeping your stove dirt free is an important part of getting a long life from it. You don’t want grit/dirt getting into the threads or or into the stove where it can clog the jet. I try to keep my stove inside my cook pot mainly for convenience but I always keep my stove in a small bag with a mini bic lighter. This can be the little bag that comes with the BRS-3000 or a very small zip lock bag. When you assemble the stove give the threads on your canister a good blow and the same for the stove before screwing them together.

wrap stove (in corner of a ziploc bag) mostly just to keep it from banging and put inside Ti pot. Also windscreen.
Put pot in bag to keep soot from pot off the rest of my gear. My pot came with a bag that I use. Breathable nylon.
