"Simply the best 2 ounces we have added to our cook kit since
tobasco."
Backpacker Magazine, March 2003
It's not how much you carry that counts, it's how much you don't have
to carry. Cozies are lightweight and super efficient insulators which
alloow you to save fuel by keeping food so hot that it will continue
to cook long after you have taken the pot off the stove. They weigh
approximately 1.3 ounces, depending on size, and will easily save
their weight in fuel-not-needed on every trip over and over again. The
cozy traps the heat in so food continues to cook long after you have
taken the pot off the stove and will keep it piping hot for nearly an
hour.
One of my favorite trail meals is Santa Fe Beans and Rice rolled into
burritos. Normally this requires 25 minutes on the stove. With the
cozy I just cook it for about 6 or 7 minutes on the alcohol stove and
then place the pot in the cozy. I seal up the cozy by simply pressing
the insulation around the top. 20 minutes later the food is completly
cooked and still too hot to eat. That saves me more than 20 minutes of
fuel...every time. I boil several cups of water for breakfast and the
cozy will keep the rest of the water hot for my second or third cup of
coffee.
Available for a variety of different pots, mugs, and boil in a bag
meals, there is a cozy for just about everyone, AND if your cookware
is not on the list let us know and we can custom make one to fit your
setup.
