Thanks!Nice looking rig !!
Oh nice! I never thought of using the UCO to heat the water. I just got it. Can it get water boiling? I know it doesn't need to boil for coffee but....I've done lots of winter camping (if I'm heading into the boonies I leave my teardrop and sleep in the Bronco, and my 100 lb Pittie/Mastiff provides lots of "heat"), and the best way I've found to bring less stuff and save my battery is to use my 3 candle Uco to heat my water in the morning for coffee, and then use my lightweight AeroPress XL to make a 16 oz cup of joe! You've already got the Uco and a pot, so you're almost there! You're obviously an extremely experienced winter camper, but we can all use some tips to make life a little easier, or better, or more fun! Stay safe out there!
Best temp for coffee is 185, and the 3 candle Uco will get there with no problem; I've even done it with my 1 candle Uco, but it takes about 3X as long (which obviously makes sense, and it's a bit tippy). The only thing that I don't like about a French press is the cleanup; if you're only out for 1 night you can clean it at home, but with the AeroPress all you do is pop out the puck, then rinse with a little water (I have a technique that uses very little water and I drink the rinse water so I don't waste any, and since there's a paper filter, no grounds and less cholesterol)! Happy camping and stay safe out there!Oh nice! I never thought of using the UCO to heat the water. I just got it. Can it get water boiling? I know it doesn't need to boil for coffee but....
I could bring my insulated french press up there and make my two cups.... thanks for the Advice! I'll try it this weekend. Going out again!
