New Stanley Two Cup Cook Set, more Ideas for Kits.

[@Sirrehpotsirch]

You are missing one of the main advantages of the Stanley Adventure Cook Set! The butterfly handle stainless steel cup from Walmart (or Pathfinder) fits perfectly on the bottom making the two plastic cups unnecessary. The lid also fits the Walmart cup giving you two pots if desired. This frees up the entire interior of the pot. For example, it holds two small gas cans (when inverted) a mini Bic lighter, a small sponge, and the BRS Stove 3000T. You can also fit a flexible windscreen, Trangia stove, two-piece cross stand, small fuel bottle, cleaning sponge, and mini Bic lighter. I like the cups a lot but I put them with other camping kits. The advantage of having a metal cup that can double as a small cooking pot is too great to pass up.

True, but I would forgo one fuel can for the plastic cup. I like my coffee/tea hot and don't care for burned lips. 🙂

Great video. I appreciate it.

The old one is still available on Amazon. I suggest you buy 2 or 3 before they run out.

Thanks for your ideas!

I think pretty much anything you've done with the old Stanley cook kit you can do with the new one. The only noticeable difference is the size of the pots themselves, the new one being slightly larger in almost every dimension. The only problem you might have would be if you're nesting the pot inside something else, such as the $5 Ozark Trail SS cup from Wally World. In that case, because the bulge on the new pot is set lower than on the old pot, the new pot doesn't fit entirely inside the cup, but leaves about 1"+ of "dead space" in the bottom of the cup. Of course, you can always use that to store small items, such as a lighter, collapsible silverware, etc., so it's not a one-way trade-off.

yep, nesting the pot into something else might be an issue. the base is 1/4 wider, the flare is lower and the new lid might not work on cups and pots. The extra room inside is nice

[@planetsideagent]

I just watched a video by Waypoint Survival on hacks for the new cookset. The Ozark Trail cup will nest nicely.

[@Badger77722]

@@planetsideagent I have both the new Stanley set and an Ozark Trail cup. As I said, the Stanley will fit in the Ozark Trail cup, but it doesn't go all the way down like the old Stanley did (I have one of those, too). I saw a Waypoint Survival that showed the new Stanley, and when he fit it into the OT cup, you could see it hit the lower bulge on the Stanley and stop. He didn't say anything about it not going all the way in, and for some people that won't matter, but it DOESN'T fit all the way into the OT cup the way the old Stanley pot did.

Picked up two ozark trail 18 oz cups for this new cookset. An REI reviewer says they "fit perfect" as does the pot lid. If my cookset ever arrives by USPS(delayed) i'll test it out. Thanks for the videos.

That gold-colored pot stand can be used to cook with the old Stanley pot by placing it on top of the burner [that is why the pot stand has that big hole] with the points up. Then the Stanley pot can fit inside with room for air flow. That is what the tabs inside the gold color stand are for. Can you do that with the new Stanley cook-set?

[@planetsideagent]

It does fit, but with only a 3/4 inch gap between the top of the burner to the bottom of the pot it won't be as efficient as the 1 to 1.25 inch sweet spot. I haven't tried a burn yet but will give it a try.

[@littlebuddyFilms]

Is the new pot stable on the Trangia pot stand? Thanks for your videos!

[@planetsideagent]

No, it actually fits inside.

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 .. nice. Thanks.

[@tjfm59]

one thing i have done at times with the trangia burner stands when i have a oddball shape pot. that just loves too titter when put on the stand right up, is flip the stand over so you have a full ring around your flame insted of 3 point or 2 point contact. this new video just re-inforces what i said the other day. i'll stick with my older stanely pot. the only thing i can see is for stanley too widen the pot all the way down to the bottom. get rid of that narrowing at mid point.

[@tenchraven]

Are those German Army butter dishes on your counter? If so, do those fit in the kit? If they don't, those dollar store round tins, the larger one fits nicely at the bottom of $5 cup, and it looks like they'd be the right height to support the new pot. I use those with a tape wrap to make them nearly water tight to carry my brew kit and a light, which lifts a Nalgene so its easier to get out of some of my pouches.

[@planetsideagent]

No those are tuna fish cans, I use them to keep bits and pieces of things I'm working on.

[@hdrvman]

Will the old Stanley fit in the new cook set ???

[@planetsideagent]

yes, up to where it flares out.
