I just picked this little "camp cook set" up today, it looks to be a decent set & it has a lifetime warranty ! Anyone else tried out one of these sets ?

I WAS looking at those at my local Target, they are on sale. I will probably get one. I looked at a bunch of review on trailspace, overall everyone had good thing to say other than the weight of the whole set up, but for me I am going out at most on two nighters, it wont be an issue.
 
Looks like a good set up and all the reviews I saw had good things to say. I had one in my cart online but decided at the last minute to go with a Toaks Titanium pot instead. The only reason I switched was the weight factor. I'm doing a multi day hike into the grand canyon this year and need to shed weight anywhere I can. Let us a know hoe it works out! Trevor~
 
One of those sets is attached to the side of my pack. It works great with either my MSR Pocket Rocket or my Vargo wood burning stove.
 
I bought one a week or so ago , curiosity got me :)
I like it , its enough for a cuppa , or to cook a small meal for one , snack for two
The cups that come with it are heavy .. but not enough to rally complain about .
I like the locking handle design on the pot . I really like that after using cheap mess tins that dont have locking handles ... pouring stuff is so much easier :) safer too .
 
Looks a useful, simple, and inexpensive piece of kit

Shame I did not see this on my last trip to the US
 
I've been using one for over a year -- love it.
took the plastic tab off and replaced it with a split ring.
GSI mug will nest with it and/or the lid will fit the GSI mug perfectly.
 
I took a picture of this little pot in November. Stove is my wood fired Vargo. I like the set up a lot.

 
Used one camping in the U.P. of Michigan last summer. Worked like a charm. The cups don't burn your lips like metal ones tend to (I like my coffee hot and don't want to wait for the cup to cool down). Highly recommended.
 
for the money they are hard to beat. I bought 2 sets when they were on sale at target. they are definitely heavy but I use them all the time inside and around the house. My daughter loves to boil water in them on our wood burner for hot chocolate.

One cool thing about that set is the mini trangia burner nests inside the set without a problem.
 
I generally carry two stove setups with me in the outdoors. I always have an Emberlit and I'll place either an alcy or canister stove inside the Stanley camp pot. I nest the Stanley into a Stoic 700ml titanium cup (or the GSI Glacier as mentioned already) and put it in a Condor "H20" pouch (I also add fire starting items and knife in the pack as well).

This is a few stove combinations I use with the Stanley camp pot

It's a nice kettle for brewing up. But I don't care for the tall skinny profile for general cooking. I'll carry it on day trips when I want to brew up but for over nights when I'm making a meal, I'm sticking with a normal sized aluminum pot. 2 minutes with some needle nose pliers adds a small pour spout for pouring. Much easier to cook in.

My local Target finally started carrying these. I picked one up. For some reason I thought it would be bigger based on pictures I'd seen. It's a good little size for an overnight or hike, probably for two depending on what you're doing. I like the height on this because you can tuck it deeper into coals/fire, so that more surface area of the cookware is exposed to heat. It's also easier to grab out of the fire for me, and less likely to rock side-to-side as with a shallow billy.

Can't decide on these cups. I think I'll ditch them.
