Comments about GSI Pinnacle Dualist Cook System:
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.

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.

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!

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 love this product and did alot of research before buying. this always came up as the best by those who use it.
I also did not find a foon in mine, but i did find a foon holder. Is the foon a myth?
Also no fry pan, but i wouldnt trade it at all.

We took this great little cookset on a short backpacking trip in RMNP. Having two bowls/cups per person was great for making multiple items at the same meal. We didn't use the foons, though. Instead we took Light My Fire sporks. They were just as lightweight, but more functional.

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.
