Morning,
After bike camping around the peak district this weekend I gave my Kraku stove and Myti mug a first field test.
First off the Kraku stove weighing in at exactly 45 grams it has to be a contender for lightest stove in the world, its ridiculously small ( and cute).
The stove is very powerful and it's like cooking with a blow torch, it does have some adjustability , however the instructions ask that you don't run the stove on low for too long to avoid damaging it.
After a good boil on high the folding support arms for your cooking vessel are glowing bright orange . kinda cool really.
I was originally concerned that I'd have problems balancing the Myti mug on the stove it's so small however this turned out to be no real problem as long as you find a fairly flat area to place it on to begin with. I didn't knock it over or worry about it at all while cooking. To be fair its a cooking mug and being 650 ml your not cooking the most extravagant meals in it and so your not constantly having to stir it and check up on it.
Although my partner for the weekend did cook meatballs and gravy , smashed potato and mange tout in on of his many many meals.
One thing to mention was I had a couple of instances where I hadn't screwed the stove on tightly enough and the pin obviously hadn't pressed open the canister and so wouldn't let any gas out. This is not a worry once you get a feel for how tight it needs to be, and I was aware that this could be the case after reading about the issue with other makes of stove.
I was being over cautious with it being brand new.
Here's some figures on the gas consumption and efficiency
I was using a Colemans C100 canister
Starting canister weight = 175 g
Gas weight = 100 g
Canister weight = 75 g
Canister weight this morning = 143
Gas used = 32 g
Number of boils averaging 300 ml per boil = 7
Average gas consumption per boil 4.57 g
Unfortunately I didn't record the boil times, I'll do this in the future sometime. However it didn't seem long and I certainly wasn't concerned about it at all.
I'm already in the process of creating my Myti mug recipe list for meals on the go.
