Anybody have experience with the Vargo Titanium Triad Stove? 1 oz.
“Only two things are infinite; The universe and human stupidity,
And I’m starting to wonder about the universe.”

Yes. I have one. I've never been able to get it to stay lit,....even indoors.
And no,...it's not because of bad fuel. The same stuff boils water quickly in my RUCAS.
Doesn't that just frost your crackers when you pay big bucks for titanium and it don't work. It's the old, you need to prime it to get it to work. Do like the White Box Stove, put it in a primer tray, add a little alchy to the tray and whoosh, you got a working ti stove. Get the pot on asap to reflect heat back to the stove.
Trade it in on good cabbage stove
Zelph stoves/pots are the way to go. I have had my share of stoves.
Current setup: Vargo Ti Wood Stove and Snow Peak Ti 600ml Pot !!
My name is Greg and I think I am becoming a gram weenie !
Here is a stove that does nicely in cold, breezy conditions.
The Venom Super Stove is a little larger in diameter for better pot support. It's made from an energy drink bottle soon to be discontinued. The thick aluminum bottle is being replaced by the thin pop can aluminum. First the Heineken can and now the Venom bottles........bummer.
I've been looking at everyone's input and just reading posts. I'm thinking about ordering the Gram Weenie PRO and try it out http://end2endtrailsupply.com/Gram_W..._packages.html It's inexpensive so worth a look. Order right from the site, should be trustworthy, what does anyone else think about it?
I'm using Zelph's Super Venom, very tough, efficient, no pot stand need.
I've been putting up some videos of people using stoves. This was at the end of a 10 day trip I took recently. I have more videos that I will edit and put up soon.

As for that Vargo Ti stove...
a mate of mine bought one and I tried it out . At the time I tried a lot of stoves , that Vargo was one of the worst.
Used a lot of fuel but was not particularly fast so kind of a lose lose situation...
Looks and feels very nice and that I would assume is the reason some buy it.

I use a version of the cat stove, lightweight, reliable, easy to find fuel, fun to make. Made from an aerasol can to fit
the beer can pot I use. I use the standard cat stove when using traditional pots. I can take a second smaller pot and stove inside the larger pot to heat drinks while water for the meal is cooking. Can also put fuel, pot holder, lighter inside pot. The photo on right shows set up for cooking.

The Etowah Stove Kit has been performing great for me this year. Lightweight and low burn rate. Ordering the $25 kit was a snap and I'll be getting one for my sone who will "thru" next year.

Long time, coleman stove user, bought an Esbit Alchohol stove this spring, to cut weight, stove, wind screen, cup and lid cost around $50, Amazon, used it on a 4 day section hike. Will never go back, everything packed well and no moving parts. Used about 1-2 oz of fuel per day.
carried an extra solid fuel cubes just in case i ran out of alcohol
