There are many different camping stoves on the market today with various features and designs. Of course, choosing one is completely dependent upon the situations that you are going to encounter in your travels. Fortunately, Jetboil has created a very universal and effective tool in their PCS model. This Personal Cooking System is not the lightest model on the market (total system weighs about 15oz.); however, when used correctly can severely cut down on the total amount of weight you are going to have to carry in your pack. Most effective with dehydrated food, this stove will allow you to cut down on the weight of food because dehydrated food is so much lighter. It also doubles as a mess kit allowing the user to eat or drink directly from the pot. The only other food related item you may need is cutlery.
Not only is this system great for cutting down on weight, it also has fantastic compatibility and stability. The PCS uses a small burner that attaches directly to the fuel source and also to the one liter pot that completes the system. As this is an innovative idea, the pot is quite unconventional, appearing more as a mug than saucepan. Everything conveniently stacks with connections that are quite stable. Every piece of the structure fits neatly inside the pot; making for easy storage and allowing the user to quickly locate the stove in a pack.
When out of doors, one often and easily may become fatigued and hungry, particularly while trekking over a distance. Luckily, speed is yet another attribute that is included in this stove. The burner output is 4500 BTUs per hour and can boil half a liter in 2 min. Coupled with quick and easy setup, a hearty meal can be created within minutes.
