TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

My Ti cost $134.95 US so a premium for the Ti of just $15 over AL Sol RRP. Freight was $40.

I agree the pot support, fuel stabiliser, cup, fuel cannister should be all the same across the Personal Cooking Systems. I have no experience in using the Jetboil products and boil times etc but gee test results calculated when bubbles appear at the bottom of the pot seems a bit rich!! lol I ended up choosing the Ti Sol model not only for the weight saving of the stove itself but hopefully it is a bit more economical on fuel too than the regular model


According to the BPL review which did the tests in calm, windy and cold conditions, the Sol Ti came out slightly more efficient overall, but only just, on average the Sol Ti use 0,3 grams of fuel less than the PCS in boiling one pint of water 473 mls (oh I will the US would go metric) but in wind test the PCS was 0.2g better.

I will get Sol Ti soon and run my own tests.
