ALOCS 11pc Lightweight Camping Cookware Set with Gas and Alcohol Stove

Starting off: Let me say that I think that the original Trangia camping/backpacking stove is genius. However, due to overuse, the naked aluminum softened corroded just enough to become damaged. So I needed a replacement that hopefully would not break the bank... and then, I saw the ALOCS set. I know it's made in China so I'm going to be watchful of the aluminum quality over time (but then again, it happened with the Trangia, so, hey...), but this set has loads of potential! All of the aluminum is anodised, so it's ready to take on some heat, and scratches. It's actually a little bit larger diameter (and volume per pot) than the Trangia 27, so its easier to make things like fried eggs and smaller steaks, plus the lid is a huge plus for boiling water faster and keeping it warmer longer! I've also noticed that the damper that comes with the alcohol stove also acts like a tamper! The little metal handle swivels out so you can damper your flame much more safely because you're not picking up the whole damper awkwardly; AND, you can seal the damper, swivel out the little handle better, and extinguish the flame when you're done far easier! The best thing about it is the added Butane stove attachment! This was a huge reason for my purchase because I don't like being left in the lurch with one fuel option: suppose liquid fuel runs out, you still have what's essentially a jet-boil! On it's own for the name brand it's $47 to $77! For the price, it really made me determined to pick this up. For the whole same kind of set through Trangia, plus you have to add on the burner above, it comes to about $189-215. This set fluctuates between $75-85. Again, Swedish versus Chinese, so, no wrong decision here. And thanks to the reviews on here, I've not heard any complaints yet. So: Pros! -All of the pieces are anodized aluminum, more scratch resistant -Windscreen, pots, and pan are all a little bit wider than the usual Trangia 27 -Comes with a lid to fit all pans and pots--so you don't really need a kettle to boil fast and hold temp longer. -The alcohol stove damper can also act as a tamper/extinguisher with a few adjustments of the tiny handle--the concept is better than Trangia's. -Butane burner attachment!!! This was huge for me. -Price. For the whole same kind of set through Trangia, plus you have to add on the burner above, it comes to about $189-215. This set fluctuates between $75-85. Again, Swedish versus Chinese, so, no wrong decision here. It's like 35% of the cost of the Swedish Original. Cons: -No nonstick cookware pieces -Made in China versus Sweden, so... consider that when you consider the quality of the aluminum The strap that holds the whole thing together is flimsy, so be sure to melt the fraying tip so it's easier to put it all away. I'm looking forward to more and more use out of this! Glad I got it.

I planned to buy the adonized set from that popular brand that i shall not name, but THIS 9 piece alocs pot set seemed to be pretty close in every respect to that product yet it is less than 1/2 the cost. Thats a good deal! I bought this for my personal cook kit. Pros: The spirit burner has a rubber seal in the lid and it does not leak. I can store fuel inside it. It also has a nice snug fitting snuffer lid that is whole separate piece. Thus you can snuff the fuel without worry about burning the rubber seal. The free pot gripper is a plus in my book. You can find many youtube videos about this pot set using the search term CW-CO5 I really like the simplicity and speed of my home made cat can spirit burner, but it never provided a stable and safe environment for live flames, thats why i chose this product. 1. It holds the spirit burner off the ground so no worries about the forest floor. 2. It encloses the burner so nicely that i don't have to worry about wind and don't need a separate tippy windscreen. 3. Hard adonized aluminum heats up so much faster than titanium, and then food cools down just like it should. (Unlike titanium) The entire cook kit is a nice comfortable size and easy to use. I leave my frying pan and second bowl at home to make the system lighter. The frying pan has great texture underneath it and its large enough to handle large portion cooking. The large bowl is big enough to store a pack of ramen noodles and some fixings beside it along with the pot gripper. The pot gripper works well and has a small footprint to it. The pans are a dark grey with a matte like finish and appear to be adonized and they are branded. Cons: There is no paperwork inside the box. The word adonized is also absent from the outside of the box. The advertising showed a red branded net bag and a cinch strap also branded with red letters spelling out ALOCS. My cinch and bag are simply black unbranded. Conclusion: i really like this company. And i love their unpretentious prices. A little challenging speaking english to them but they are very responsive sellers who stand by their products. I definitely recommend this pot set. Perhaps someday i will buy that overpriced famous brand pot and burner set, but thats a story for another day. update April 2022 i added a photo of ramen cooking using the small bowl for ramen and have stacked the fry pan on top to bake a flatbread at the same time. the flat bread smothered in peanut butter was delicious but alas, it was not photo worthy. the adonized coating is very durable. at times i have even gently scraped stuck food from the fry pan with a sharp metal tong and the surface has held up nicely. the short wide shape of this kits fits nicely into a backpack without creating uncomfortable lumps. there are smaller lighter aluminum sets out there but i find that this low and wide size and shape pot is best suited for those who want to do more than just heat water. plenty of room to stir in fresh ingredients. i also love that the lid is aluminum too. not a bit of plastic anywhere. great job ALOCS.

Legit Unit. Perfect for a solo camper. Superior stabilization & wind protection. I thought the unit would prevent the use of a larger pan, but I figured out an easy and quick fix for this. Perfect for a single-burner base camp setup or camping in general. Even though it is designed to stack into itself when packed, it is still a bit bulky for my 55L pack. Additionally, it was still a bit too heavy for me to justify the added weight on a thru-hike even after removing a few non-essential components (8.3/10--Best complete unit I've used to date)

I LOVE this brand. Nothing sticks in it. Easy to clean. I love the platform to set the kettle into and its easy to access the flame to light and and adjust.

The fry pan is NOT non-stick! so don't whine about it. Use oil or butter-Its VASTLY healthier than consuming forever in your body chemicals! SUPER for car camping. This is NOT a SUL backpacking set up (but it can work- just leave the lid and one of the pots, and gas burner home as the fry pan doubles as a lid) ! It will be super if it had an optional 10" wide skillet to cook bacon, trout, and pancakes. I bought the matching tea kettle with its own stove to REALLY extend the cookset use (after boiling tea, I have a 2nd burner for the fry pan or 2nd pot!-)))) The frugal chef in me is so delighted! Regarding the hard anodized versus non-stick fry pan: in 3 years of use, this HD (Hard anoDized) fry pan will still be perfectly useable; whereas a non-stick will still be putting toxic chemicals into you AND not be performing well at all! "Season" these pots and fry pan with coconut oil and bake in the oven-classically for cast iron but also really helps with high carbon steel and helps a little bit with this Hard Anodized Al. I really wish ALOCS would make a dedicated SS basket to hold hardwood charcoal briquettes; and have a grill top to use for steaks, hamburgers, and hotdogs. But I amazingly had a SS colander that fit nicely, and bought a Japanese style (tight weave) SS 20 cm grill top and was delighted that it wasn't deformed by the heat AND It does great as a small BBQ! People may say, 'Aw just use your campfire to grill', well you still can do that BUT especially lately we have extremes of rain and long, sustained dry hot spells; and I have so many times been grilling in comfort under my covered picnic table grilling in the pouring down rain. PLUS even here in the historically lush Appalachians, have been under "burn bans" where open fires of ANY kind are prohibited. As this is enclosed (add a SS plate on the bottom) your can still get campfire grilled taste but be (mostly) legal or at least not harassed. I also bought 2 adapters so I can use cheap "green can" gas, and another for the butane cylinders typically for those flat Korean style tabletop stoves . I also bought a Primus "Winter Blend" fuel bottle optimized for extreme cold cooking. Amazingly versatile stove!!!

I like this cook set because it is lightweight, compact, and a good value. My only gripe is with the pot support which is flimsy and warps when heated and must be bent flat again before each subsequent use.

I'm new to this sort of a camp stove and not what you'd call a gourmet, but this little set was the perfect choice for my car-camping trip. It was compact, easy to use, and incredibly versatile. I used the iso-pro fuel (available where backpacking supplies are found), and when I ran out, was able to use the pans on my campfire to make do. I took a cooler full of frozen meat and vegetables (plus bullion & ramen) and was able to have a tasty meal on the go where ever I went. I was astonished how quick it was, and cleanup was painless. Highly recommend!

I have not gone camping with this stove yet, but love it. I tested it in my kitchen and it will work with all pots. I'm going to take my big kitchen pots and pans for my first trip because I will cook for 4 adults. But, I wanted this compact versatile size for when it will be one or two of us. I was a little worried that the strap would melt since it does not easily come off. The whole structure could be easily touched with my hand while a cast iron skillet was heating on top. The way the top half is designed, I don't think I will even need a wind shield. Just turn the stove the right direction if there are strong winds. I love that I can use more than one fuel option.

アルコールの五徳を探していて、例のトランギアクッカーセットが気に入り しかし値段がちょっと高い、こちらの商品を見つけ値段も手頃なので買ってみました これが意外にも軽い丈夫、使いやすい、買って良かったです アルコールストーブの五徳でもあり風防でもあり安定していて 煮炊きしやすい故障しそうなパーツも無いしお得です 鍋も一人炊きには大きくカレーなんかも十分作れますね すぐに使えなくなる消耗品でもないので値段は気になりません フライパンの様な物は未だ使ってませんがこれがテフロンだったら いいんですけどねー一寸残念、 コンバクトに仕舞えて収納袋も付いていていいですよー 良く売れているのか入荷が少ないのか?直ぐ売り切れるのが 残念ですね

Brilliant item for family or group camping. Very sturdy long lasting item. Comes with 11 pieces all fit perfectly

I love this set and I think you will too! It gives you the option of using an alcohol stove and/or an isobutane stove (both included!). It’s light weight, easy to install, use and clean and worth the price in my opinion. Very easy to carry on a camping or hiking trip and a breeze to store away. I highly recommend it!
