The fully integrated, self-contained GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System provides 2 backpackers with lightweight essentials for backcountry dining. Includes nonstick coating and a BPA-free plastic lid.

  • Kit includes 2 insulated mugs with lids, 2 bowls, 2 telescoping foons and a hard-anodized pot with strainer lid
  • Mugs nest securely inside the bowls, which in turn nest within the pot; color-coded mugs and bowls prevent mix-ups
  • Insulated mugs have a low center of gravity and include lids with Sip-It openings that virtually eliminate spills
  • Ultralight backpacking stove and small isobutane fuel canister (both sold separately) can also nest within for a complete and compact cooking system
  • Pinnacle-series aluminum pot distributes heat evenly for fast and efficient cooking and is extremely lightweight and abrasion resistant
  • Pinnacle-series cookware utilizes hard-anodized aluminum and Teflon® Radiance technology for supreme scratch and abrasion resistance
  • Teflon Radiance technology features a specially formulated topcoat to enhance heat dispersion for quick and even heating
  • Nonstick coating is tough enough to handle use with most metal utensils
  • 2 telescoping foons give you the functionality of a fork and spoon, and they fit compactly inside the cook system
  • BPA-free plastic lid is lightweight and features an integrated strainer ideal for use with pasta and steamed vegetables
  • Flip-up tab on top of lid makes for easy lid removal
  • Silicone-coated handle provides a comfortable, secure grip; handle locks into place for cooking and secures the entire set for transport
  • Mugs, bowls, foons and pot lid are made from BPA-free Infinity polypropylene plastic, which has a high melting temperature, is dishwasher safe and completely recyclable
  • Includes a rugged stuff sack that doubles as a sink or wash basin

Imported.

      Brought this on a 7 day backpacking trip in Rocky Mountain National Park. Great for 2 people - it's an entire dining room in one compact setup. I must have the old model because the new picture shows sporks and I don't have any sporks. I want sporks.

      Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

      Used my dividend to buy this and well worth it.

      The nesting design makes life so much easier. My compact stove and fuel compliments this product very nicely. I've taken it on two weekend trips so far where the cooking, cleaning up, and coffee in the morning has been an absolute breeze.

      Love the product. The insulated mugs with lid works great for tea or coffee. The bowls have handy markings in the inside to indicate how many cups or ounces of fluid. The lid doubles as a strainer for rice or noodles (WORKS GREAT!). The storage sack doubles as a sink for cleaning up or carrying water (VERY HANDY). The nonstick pot is of highest quality.

      What a package!

        The was a lot of thought put into this system. [...] how we can fit the MSR Pocket Rocket and fuel bottle inside and fit it all together, under 2 lbs. Great set-up.

          Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

          We have used this set for 7 days straight while traveling from California to Denver on motorcycles, camping all along the way, and I have zero complaints. The design is compact and multi-functional. Each day, I discover yet another feature to love. The integration of the sink/storage sack was genius. Saved us having to purchase a separate wash/water carrier. The volume of the pot and sink are larger than they look at a glance. It will be our main mess/cooking system while traveling for a full year, so will check back with long term durability.

              Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

              Although it's not the lightest, most high-tech, or slimmest, it's the best at what it does. More accurately, it's the best at what it does because no one else has taken the time to design a system that is so complete and inclusive.

              Sure the mugs aren't really mugs and the set is slightly bigger than what I would like, but to have fuel (220g), a stove (a Snow Peak LiteMax), utensils, and cookware all fit into one unit is remarkable. And the fact that the handle also serves to lock in all the goods is a plus.

              So far the pot has proven to be pretty non-stick. Also, I'm using my Snow Peak titanium sporks, not the GSI telescoping foons.

              I'd recommend this to anyone.

                Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

                This is a remarkably compact unit. My Primus Techno Trail II stove and one 110/220 gram fuel canister easily fit inside the unit which wastes very little space. The pot is well constructed with a durable handle that doubles as a locking lid to keep everything together. The coating on the pot is a relatively durable non-stick surface. Although the mugs are unusual due to their squat, bowl-like shape, they work perfectly well as sippy cups for hot beverages when used with the provided lids. The sporks aren't very durable (I snapped a prong on one when I first assembled it) but that's not what you're buying this system for anyway, is it? All in all, I have no complaints about the system but I wish I'd waited until their May 2009 sale when the price drops substantially.

                  Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

                  I have had this for over a year now, multiple backpacking trips and many more camping trips. I am able to place a large fuel canister and my gigapower litemax stove inside. The pot is great for heating water, cooking large amounts of spaghetti, etc. The pot and bowls clean up very easily. I have used the storage bag for cleaning dishes as well as for holding water to let the sediment drop out before pumping it through my water purifier. The only issue I have is that the "cups" due to their high surface area do not keep hot drinks warm for very long. we have gone back to using regular mugs. Otherwise I would give it a "5" star rating.

                    Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:

                    Just returned from a 4 day trip and used this to make all our meals. It's hard to believe we could fit the stove, fuel, 2 insulated bowls with lids and 2 eating bowls inside the pot, but it worked. It wasn't until we were sitting in camp one morning eating oatmeal that I noticed the diagram printed on the side of the pot showing how to flip the top set of bowls so you can fit the fuel inside too. I could hardly wait for everything to cool off to try it and it worked... saved even more space for the trip down the mountain. I love it!
                    As was previously mentioned, I did not receive sporks and I am a little disappointed but I got the system on discount so it's still a good deal.

                      This product was well thought out and is everything everyone has already said about it. I like how the mugs have neoprene grips around them to keep your hands comfortable and reduce slipping. They also include a felt, velcro closure bag to keep your ultralight stove in. The fact that I can keep everything for cooking besides food (which might be possible with rice, haven't tried) nested inside the cookset is incredible. In addition to what comes with the set, I keep my stove, the GSI scraper/spatula, and a gas canister. Perfect.
