Hi there, i've got just a question. Can I use the O'neill Thermo X 13 Oz for kiting instead of the westus in Summer?

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.

This one seems too small. The Presto site discusses canning. A cooker with a pressure gage would let you make sure I got it hot enough.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

I used water instead. It is much easier and does the trick. Don't fill it completely full. Leave a little room for expansion. I have had temps down to -22F and it is still with the original water from years ago. I have had extremely high winds as well.

I own this pack. I carry a highly compressible sleeping bag (Lafuma Lightway 45) hammock and fly, clothes, food and stove, as well as the water bag. It all fits fine. When I camp i don't carry everything under the sun though. I use this pack for bike camping as it is a good size for mountain biking. If your sleeping bag does not compress down very much you should skip this pack.

Jason, I've had a hard time getting it up to the desired smoking temp when it's cool & windy or just cool. I think one of the problems is that they only recommending using 12 or so starter coals. Yesterday I increased this number to 20 or so and that seemed to work better. I'll keep fooling with it and could see using up to half the coals in the chimney starter. And I've found that I need to have the top holes open more than the 5/16 they recommend. I'd say open them all the way up and then throttle them down. I also think it makes a big difference and significantly slows down the process if the meat isn't close to room temp to start. But I'll tell you, the more I use the device the more comfortable I feel with it. I'm having a retirement get together this coming Sat so started preparing for that this weekend. Using a rib rack I smoked 6 full racks of ribs on Sat and 6 more on Sun. I'd never have dreamed that 6 racks of ribs would fit on the Weber but they did. I baby sat the Sat batch pretty closely but once the Sunday batch was up to speed I only looked at about once/hour to stir the coals, add water & wood. We ate one last evening and it was good but will put the rest in the oven for 2 or 3 hours to get them more tender before serving. I hope that this (long) answer is of some help and encouragement.

I bought this thermoter, but i had user yet. But in the strunction you need a mininum of liquid (2" ) to work with accurracy. For deep fry is a not a problem but for syrup, is a real problem.

Yes, though it discourages temps above 125 degrees. I believe there are work arounds, but honestly 125 seems plenty hot to me. I hope that helps.

I know that the manuals will tell you to only use Primus canisters, but any with the same thread size is really okay. Some other brands are SnowPeak, MSR, Coleman, and others will work just as well and are just as safe.

Hey Vanessa,Sorry didn't check this e-mail till today. I purchased a Large and found out I needed to get a Medium & I'm a big guy, 5'9'' & 225 lbs. I suppose I could have sent back, but, I needed it for an upcoming race. I hate to make you do it, but, if you are able to get to Sports Authority or Dick's sporting stores and try on a few models there. Depending upon your hydration needs; there are 8oz., 10 oz., and even the 16 oz. bottle available on the models. Hope this helps. ~~ Tim

hey rosems...looks liquid cooled so your going to want to actually go to the trail tech home page and look for the universal fit kit that matches your machine's parameters, and just fugue for some degree of custom mod to the speed-o pickup....the differences in the Vapor kits are all in the included types of sensors that intemperate the machine to the digital dashboard common to all Vapor kits....so your looking at the wrong kit for your application, but i am certain there is one...i am not, however going to tell you which one it is or i am going to be expected to do that for everyone, and i don't work for trail tech, so that's not my job.... rulgert

Other than the pot/pan combos I don't think Toaks makes a small enough pan for these. I own the 750 and the 550, the sacks for the pots are nice, well made even, normally I toss out stuff like that. Standard Nalgene bottles fit great. I know that the traditional vision on stuff like this is space and everything fitting together, but what I've taken to doing is keeping a titanium plate and letting it do double duty as a shallow fry pan. If your determined to nest pieces I would try the Toaks 100mm or 106mm bowl and purchase a separate pot grabber for the bowl, MSR has several to choose from right here on Amazon, along with titanium plates if you wish to try that.

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!

It's really going to depend. If youre quick with a steady hand 350C is good, 300C is probably on the lower end.

Sorry, didn't answer you tumble-dry....A S U M E is dangerous.On a warm cycle would be recommended.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

I would suggest that you check with Thermos corp. They should have a website.Good luck!
