va3pinner's Review of Optimus Terra Weekend HE Cook-Set

This has become my go-to cook set for short and long backpacking trips. I originally purchased it because I was looking for a pot that would fit my old Svea 123 stove. The stove fits perfectly inside, with a towel wrapped around it to protect the non stick finish. I also use it with a canister stove, and the Optimus crux burner. this combination is a FAST boiler if that is important to you. I have rolling boil in 2-1/2 minutes using the wind screen. This also works well with the Trangia burner in a ClickStand. Fits that perfectly as well, and boils in just shy of 4 minutes. It's a bit heavier than a Titanium pot around this size, ( by maybe what - 2 ounces??) but to me well worth it. I've used it from just boiling water to brewing up soups an stews. Holds enough for two people. Great product, and no I don't have anything to do with Optimus, except I've been using their products since 1974. (The Svea was one of my first BP equipment purchases.). Optimus has a complete kit - HE Cookset, stove, windscreen, and spoon too if you need a complete setup.
Pros:
  • Heat Exchanger saves fuel
Cons:
  • non stick coating will scratch. protect it.
Best Used for:
  • Backpacking short and long trips
Would Recommend: Yes
