Cook Systems
A canister stove lets you choose the pot and works for simmering when its burner and controls allow it; an integrated system pairs burner and pot for efficient boil-only use. Titanium cookware saves weight but spreads heat poorly, while aluminium heats more evenly, so boiling water and cooking food in the pot call for different setups.
