Is it advisable to keep a stove pump unit attached to the bottle when the stove isn't in use during a backpack trip or during storage at home?

Not advised, but not the end if the world. I wouldn't do it at home for sure. But on a trip it shouldn't matter as long as it doesn't leak. However, I don't take that chance. The risk of fuel leaking our evaporating at home or in a backpack isn't worth it to me. I would strongly advise to store it with the intended cap, for the sake of risk management.

I've had excellent results with this pot and titanium in general while backpacking. However, care must be taken to never heat the pot while empty or warping may result.

I don't know about the snow peak cup for nesting but the taper of it will have it move around a little when nesting, not too bad though. I have 2 cook kits I use depending on what I'm doing. 1 is the backpacker bottle and a MSR seagull stowaway pot and the backpacker bottle a bottle hanger bail and a GSI glacier cup that I keep on top of the bottle. The other set up is the pathfinder store's grilltop bottle stove with a Olicamp cup nesting inside of it then that nest inside if the Stanley camp cookset with that all nesting around the backpacker bottle with the GSI glacier cup on top of it. It's a stainless steel set up similar to the swiss volcano stove. I'm sure you can make it work for you but the bottle is a solid peice ok kit. If it's the only piece of kit for water carry and purify/cooking I can take then I'm not disappointed at all. I've boiled water in it, cooked some soups in it and also have used it to make char cloth in but I will say it is a little work to clean the inside of it if you do. A hint get some bar keeps friend cleaner and a wire or scotch brite scrub brush on a long handle it will help just clean it real good then it's right back ready for action. Well good luck!

I keep mine on the counter next to my stove and use it often, which make me have to open and close it quite a bit ... With it not being stored in a cabinet, this could be the reason I have never been bothered with humidity.

I do not believe you can. The trailer systems are pressure regulated at the propane bottles. The stove pressure regulator is the connector to the stove itself and designed to have propane bottle pressure at the connector regulator. Tapping into your external gas tap would give you a low pressure problem at the stove. I would not do it. Buy the adapter hose and run it off a 20lb or 10lb propane bottle. I use a 10lb bottle I got from camping world it is small and stores easily. Saves $ by not using the disposable bottles. Hope this helps.

I have a glass top stove in my house, an induction cook-top(single burner) and a gas stove in my motor-home. I love cooking with them but if it boils over, the hot liquid travels down the handle to the hole. So, I just keep an eye out and put a spoon rest under the hole where I put my stir spoon anyway.

No. But you should never leave the kitchen with boiling water on the stove ! So it shouldn't matter.

no.. fuel will drain back into can on it's own.. just hang the pump assembly to dry until next use.

I have a glass top stove and I use it on there all the time, I'm just extra careful when I set it down and pick it up. Although maybe I should drop it on there so I can get a new stove :)

Thanks. That's why I keep it in a jar next to it. Its a pain to have to clean the unit each time, but I figured that might happen....

I use it on the outside between the pot and stove burner. I use a bit lower setting to bring water to a boil, but personally I prefer it on the burner. You really have to bend it up some to get it inside and it would be hard to remover it later.

It's not the most convenient thing to carry it in the diaper bag. We drain the water out and do take it places. i think it's way more convenient than warming water to warm the bottle. We love love love it. Best purchase

I don't leave the butane canister in the stove for safety reasons. I only use the burner outdoors. Hope this was helpful.

I would not eecoend storing fuel in the stove, the seal on the cap is not the greatest.

When a fuel canister was forgotten I used it next to an open fire sitting on some rocks. The water got near boiling (and would have boiled eventually) and was adequate to re-hydrate my food. I was constantly checking that the handles were not melting. So in a pinch you can make it work with constant supervision.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly.

Your camping stove should definitely be fine on the table. It's sturdy for what it is and if you keep it safe from wet elements, it will last you. It's been one of our favorite BBQ accessory purchases
