packit gourmet has some items/meals that require cold/cool water only (though many you have the option to add hot instead). You can absolutely get away without a stove with those. =)

Cool: but I'll bet the custom granite stand adds to that . . . wink


FYI Salty Dog, it also comes in a Super Ultralight model without the granite stand. grin

Titanium and Hexamine, this little 6oz setup will be one of the last pieces of gear I leave behind for weight considerations. I really look forward to the warm meal at the end of the day, a little hot water to wash up, and a cup of Joe in the morning.

Come to think about it, that might just be the oldest granite counter top in the state!

SN, is that a titanium wing stove? And where do you get the hexamine tabs? How do they compare to Esbit?

Yes, mine's a titanium wing stove, less than 1/2 oz. for $15 on campsaver. Steel or aluminum probably wouldn't weigh much more since its so small. I always use Esbit because its readily available. I think you can get off-brand hexamine at an army surplus store or somewhere online. I read the generic hexamine doesn't last as long and it's more smelly. Fuel tabs are usually hexamine or perhaps trioxane. The stuff is a bit noxious and leaves residue on the bottom of my pot, but that's easy to work around. So worth it. It's so light and small I sometimes bring my Esbit setup on long day hikes to enjoy a Mtn House meal for lunch.

According to Wiki, Esbit is an acronym for Erich Schumms Brennstoff in Tablettenform, invented in 1936. It's a genericized trademark as it is used to refer to similar products made by other companies.

From another forum:
================
Here's are three of my favorite make ahead at home stoveless meals. Forgot where I stole these recipes from as I've had them for years - they are very good.

Bruschetta
4 servings. 2/3 cup each (2 ounces dried)

Puree in a blender or food processor:
    3 cloves garlic
15 ounces canned small white beans, rinsed and drained
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
juice of 1 fresh lemon ( 2 tbs juice)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1/8 tsp salt


Spread on covered dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 4 hours at 145 degrees.

To rehydrate, add a little water, stirring until a thick spread consistency. Put on crackers or bread.



Szechwan Chicken Salad (my all time favorite)
6 servings. (3 ounces dried)
  1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp Szechwan chili oil
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 lb thin sormen (Japanese noodles)
10 Ounces canned Chicken
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, coarsely chopped
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced crossways
8 ounces canned bamboo shoots, drained
15 ounces canned miniature corn on the cob, drained and thinly sliced
8 ounces petite frozen peas
1 Tbs dried Cilantro
2 Tbs lightly toasted sesame seeds


At Home:
In large bowl, mix soy sauce, chili oil, and mustard.
Cook noodles. Drain and toss in soy sauce mixture.
Spread out on thin nylon drying tray. Also dehydrate chicken and
vegetables.

When Dried, break noodles into 1 inch long pieces and toss with rest of ingredients. Add the cilantro and sesame seeds

When done place each serving in separate resealable plastic bag.

On the Trail:
In morning add water as needed. At lunchtime eat.



*Tuna-Spinach Couscous*
2 servings. (4 ounces dried + tuna)

    2  3-ounce tuna packets
1 cup couscous
1 package (1.8 ounce) Knorr Cream of Spinach Dried Soup Mix
3 Tbs powdered buttermilk or Nido


At Home:
Mix all dry ingredients together and divide into two resealable packets. Toss
in Tuna packets.

On the Trail:

Add 3/4 cup water to mix. Open and add Tuna. Let sit 1 hour before eating.

Enjoy
Day-Late

The latest and greatest in stoves:



Chris (SoCalGirl) was up for the weekend with her family, and wanted to see sunrise from Lone Pine Lake. So I did what I usually do: I cooked breakfast up there. For everyone.

Recipe for success:

Coleman 2-burner camp stove
Coleman Propane Coffee Maker
Tablecloth/bowls/plastic silverware/insulated cups
Spiced Cider/Hot chocolate mixes
One bag grapes
Blueberry Muffins (large)
2 packages of bacon
18 eggs for scrambling
1 package Bisquick pancake mix shaker bottle
1 lb Starbucks Espresso Coffee
Hazelnut Creamer

Add 3 teenagers, 1 high school friend and her hubby, 1 fiance meeting me for the first time, and my best girlfriend on her birthday. Chill lightly in early morning shade and shake/shiver gently through big smiles and semi-quiet laughter.

Love you, Chris!!

Then again, ultraheavy backpacking also looks good. Especially if there is bacon involved.

I bet Steve would even carry the 2-burner stove.

I say principles, schminciples, if bacon is involved. (I am so stuck on bacon now.)
