Sweet!

I finally got a solo stove because Amazon had them on sale. Fired it up for a test run in the back yard just now and beat the advertises boil time by 1min! (30oz in 7min)

Here's the combo, stove and pot, but you can also get them separately

That is a pretty impressive stove/pot setup. How easy is it to cook on? ie would it balance/support a pan for a 2 person meal?

Would have to be a damn small pan,

The backpacking stove generally serves a narrow purpose, boiling water for reconstituting dehydrated food.

I'll bet you could cook in the bottom of the pot though.

any pot that will hold 800-1000ml would work very well for 2 people re-hydrating meals. I actually cooked a meal for two last night. Only required 16oz of boiling water. I needed to burn through some of my "cash" of dehydrated meals before they expire.

Just do MRE next time you are out. I know you love those.

Got the new tent the other day. Set it up this morning. Sets up much easier and faster by myself than the 4 person tent I've been using for a few years. It's the perfect size for the Arkansas trip. Can't wait to use it.

Bought some more gear this weekend. Got the footprint for the new tent ordered. Also picked up a thermarest pack able pillow, a new chair, and a camp chef rainier stove/grill/griddle combo. And this morning I placed my order for my 50qt fridge and slide. Not ashamed of my glamping.

They're the same fridges as the Ironman 4x4 IceCube fridges. Made by Indel B from Italy. TruckFridge is the only U.S. Distributor.

How many amps does it draw.

Doesn't say for startup amperage.
Voltage DC 12-24 Volt / AC 115-230 Volt / 50-60 Hz

I read an article in some magazine comparing them to other fridges like the ARB, National Luna, Engel, etc. I know they beat out the ARB. Pretty sure they beat everything but the NL. Anyway, it had the specs of them all on it. I'll see if I can dig it up later when I get to a computer.

Here's a thread on ExPo that linked me to the article. Has good information. Worth the read if you're considering a fridge.
