Never tried it, but I can guarantee it won't be anything like you're used to at home. I can't imagine what the lure of Ti pots is. Worst possible choice? I guess they look and feel real nice in the store.

the best part of this stove here is that it does has adjustable flame for simmering and boiling water I have had it so low that my rice didn't burn and the water just slowly cooked out of it and it stayed hot for me https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Cl...camping+stoves Here is a you tube video I did the other day for this stove..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLZg...J5v6WMJdIElPdA

Because Ti is touted as being the lightest metal out there. When an amateur weight-weenie tries to shave grams, this catches his or her eye.

Ti isn't touted as being the lightest metal out there. Of the metals that you'll find in general use, i.e. the ones that won't explode or kill you, aluminum is the lightest. It's just not that strong. Titanium, however, is strong and relatively light. Because of it's strength, it can be made thinner to accomplish the same goals and aluminum and thus ends up being lighter over all. It's just an awful conductor of heat...about a 10th of aluminum and about half that of iron.

Titanium does have a higher melting point than Aluminum. for you food scorchers ..(you know who you are)

Last group trip I made everyone breakfast, guess their oatmeal didn't smell as good. I also bring a small GSI pot with a coffee press Here is the link for the pan https://www.amazon.com/Jacob-Bromwell.../dp/B004PA0VWI It also works well over the fire.

If you are worried about the melting point of aluminum when you cook, you aren't a "scorcher". More like a food asher.

Yes, I do take my Biolite on my Tours. The only negative I've encountered is if its a wet day you're out of luck as you need dry Twigs. But Pine Cones burn like Charcoal! As for the Charging, it's done the Job the odd time I've had to charge my phone. I'm very happy with the stove.

I like to cook stuff, and I've got a GSI stainless mess kit with the plastic bowl swapped out for another stainless one that I enjoy using. For the stove, I've got the multifuel MSR Dragonfly, and I got it mostly because it sounds cool when it's going, but it's also pretty easy to regulate the heat on it (to me at least) so it works well.

I use a Stanley Stainless cook cup these days with a alky stove.
If I need a stove that I KNOW will work NO MATTER WHAT....I bring My old Svea 123.

I'm perfectly happy with my Snowpeak Ti set. It's light weight, works great, and I can cook over open fire if I want/need to, which I've done on many occasions. I would really like to get a multi-fuel stove. I have a light weight backpacking stove, but I've run into problems finding fuel canisters for it several times. A multi-fuel set-up would weigh a little more and take up more room, but it would be well worth it to actually have fuel for my stove when I need it.
