    I have one of Jon’s shorter/wider dry bake pans like one above with the quiche in it.  When I take my Grandson backpacking, I’ve used it to make muffins, and it’s worked very well.  I use it in conjunction with Roger’s V1 winter stove and a 1L Evernew Titanium pot.

    I’m interested in trying some more of his gourmet dry bake recipes, I just haven’t had the time.  It’s usually something I pursue on short weekend trips.  I’m hopeful that my schedule will open back up this fall so I can play some more with gear and cooking recipes.

    Jon – I got the new and improved Ocelot. It looks great.  I haven’t played with it yet.

    I bake on the trail all of the time, here is a quiche at Hamilton Lake in Sequoia NP.
    The quiche looks lovely!
    Unfortunately, the way Sue & I walk, it is usually dark by the time I start cooking. Sometimes Sue snoozes while I am getting dinner (why not?). Well, to each his own.

    Cheers

    These pictures were literally taken 5 minutes ago in a nice 5-6 mph breeze with some gusts. The Ocelot performed extremely well. I guess I’ve never used the BRS 3000 on blowout mode. Seemed remarkably normal without all of the usual wind-induced sputtering. I’m going to give this one high marks.

    Just got back from Rockies high elevation BP trip and used the Ocelot at almost every meal time. It did its job even when sustained winds were est. 10-15 mpg at 12K and above. I missed delivery of the lower shield version and upon examination I prefer the higher one.

    I just uploaded a video containing customer feedback on the Ocelot windscreen; several contributors are BPL members.

    Philip Werner (Section Hiker) just reviewed our Ocelot System.  With that in mind, I am offering a backpackinglight special on the Ocelot System through the end of March: free domestics shipping.  Our software is not sophisticated enough manage this so you will be issued a refund after the item ships.  Please note that you are a backpackinglight member in the comment section to receive this discount.  Best regards – Jon

    Hi Jon,

     

    For the Soto users among us, is it possible to order a single kit with both the 3 and 4 flex plates (eliminating the need for two separate screens)?

    Noah,

    A vast majority of the value is in the burner plate and not the windscreen itself so the bundling would probably not be cost effective.  With 2 windscreens, you really have a backup plan in case one gets lost or damaged.  My 2 cents.

    FYI – with the 4 Flex, the pot support arms must be in the folded position.  Unfolded and they interfere with the windscreen.
