[pct-l] Cooking System Weight?

[Jim & Jane Moody]

I've gone from a Svea 123 on the AT in '06 to no stove on the PCT in 2012 (a section, not a thru).  Weight - zero.  Chance of starting a forest fire, zero.  I might revert to a caldera cone / alcohol stove in the winter, but probably not.  I love the convenience of just adding water to my freeze-dried mix at lunch time, and by dinner time it's ready to eat.  Food doesn't have to be hot to be nutritious and filling, although I'll admit it's tastier if hot. 



Hummus, cous-cous, and instant mashed potatoes reconstitute just fine with cold water; pasta and rice, not so much.  I mix the carb with f-d meat, veggies, and cheese for variety and nutrition.  Bag els, tortillas, hard cheese, pepperoni, salami, dehydrated b lack or refri ed beans, power bars, et al. make great lunches.

Thanks for all the  advice coming in on cooking systems.  But, can anyone tell me the weight on their configuration?  My JetBoil is 14oz with one fuel canister, the actual cooking mug, the neoprene cover, and the plastic cup.  Is that way heavier than yours?  I really like that JetBoil--it preforms like a champ--fast--easy!!!!!  I want to keep using it--if it compares weight wise. Thanks,Havasu
