GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset
Item # 784114For your reference, this page contains historical product information.
A compact cook system for backcountry travelers, the GSI Pinnacle Soloist utilizes innovative design to maximize performance and minimize weight.
- Cook system includes a 14 fl. oz. insulated mug, 1.1-liter hard-anodized pot with polypropylene strainer lid, telescoping Foon, stove bag and stuff sack
- Pinnacle-series hard-anodized aluminum pot distributes heat evenly for fast and efficient cooking; utilizes Teflon® Radiance technology for supreme scratch resistance
- Teflon Radiance features a specially formulated topcoat to enhance heat dispersion for quick heating; nonstick coating is tough enough to handle use with most metal utensils
- BPA-free Infinity polypropylene mug/bowl has a low center of gravity and includes an integrated insulating sleeve to keep your drinks hot
- Infinity pot lid is lightweight and durable; lid features an integrated strainer and doubles as a Sip-It lid for the mug
- Infinity polypropylene has a high melting temperature, offers good impact resistance and is dishwasher safe
- Silicone-coated handle on pot provides a comfortable, secure grip; handle locks into place for cooking and secures the entire set for transport
- Ranging in length from 3.8 in. to 6 in., telescoping Foon combines a fork and spoon to save weight by eliminating the need for 2 utensils; made from BPA-free copolyester
- Included stove bag holds your ultralight stove (sold separately) so it doesn't come into contact with your clean bowl, Foon or pot when stowed
- Complete kit fits inside the included rugged stuff sack that doubles as a sink or wash basin
Imported.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
I have used this system for a while now, It's very lightweight and compact. I even have room inside to add my cleaning supplies and paper towels. You can carry your stove and fuel inside but I usuly put my cup and all thing related to cooking i.e. salt, pepper, oils, teabags, flexable cutting board, eating utensils. All this under 11 ozs. Way to cool. It even comes with a kitchen sink.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
This kit is great to take on a backpacking trip. The best part is, of course, the fact that everything you need packs up into the space of the pot. Unfortunately, this also proved to be my only problem with the set. My MSR Pocketrocket stove will not fit in here with the propane can, as it's ever so slightly too big to fit into the plastic bowl. To make up for it, other things can be added in its stead (snacks, more utensils.) The spork (they call it a foon) folds up nice and tiny, but it seems flimsy and easily breakable. Mine hasn't broken yet though, so I can't knock it for that. I also think that the price simply can't be beat, as you'll end up spending that much on each of the individual pieces you get here and they won't even go together as well.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
I took this set out for the first time this weekend and it performed admirably. The pot boiled in no time and it was incredibly stable on my Primus TechnoTrail stove. I was really impressed with how well it stacked with my stove and a 4oz MSR Isopro tank. Takes up half the space that my old mess kit, stove, and tank did, and at a great price. And the bag really does work well as a sink. First time in a while I was amused while doing dishes.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the lid is really lightweight and you have to hold it down on the pot on a windy day. Other than that, this is the perfect set for a single camper.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
GSI sure did their homework when they designed this set, producing a very practical and lightweight solo kettle that is less than half the cost of comparable titanium kettles. Last year's version didn't include the spork but it has since been added to the set. The stove bag will hold the Snow Peak Gigapower Stove but it is too small to fit an MSR Pocket Rocket. Fuel stores in the bottom with the stove, spork, and cup in the top. Everything is firmly latched down by the strainer lid when the handle is folded closed. A real plus is the carry bag that doubles as a small sink, a feature that has been repeated with the GSI NForm gourmet series. If you are looking for a small solo kettle at a moderate price, this set is hard to beat.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
This is an outstanding piece of gear. The nesting design means that you get the most possible use out of the volume in your pack. You can fit a surprising amount of food into the pot, and it is easy to clean. The construction is simple and durable. It heats water very quickly.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
I love my Soloist! Contrary to other reviewers, a PocketRocket DOES fit inside this set, along with a fuel canister. The trick is to put the stove under the canister, and then the cup goes over it, upside-down. I find the Foon to be pretty much useless; I use the GSI Rehydrate spoon instead (too long to fit in the pot, though). The mug is great at keeping drinks hot, and I love that the pot lid doubles as a sip lid. Even though I have a pretty minimalist cooking style and probably don't need this much cookset, I think the Soloist is great for the weight and the price, and I like knowing that I have the versatility to do some more complex cooking if I wanted to.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
I purchases the Soloist for a backpacking trip to Sequoia Nat Park in Sept 09 and it was one of the most useful pieces of equipment I brought. I considered purchasing the Dualist but I am trying to keep my pack light and since most of our food just required hot water I figured the Solist would do fine. I was right! I fed three guys all weekend with just this one cookset. One of the other guys brought the heavy GSI Bugaboo cookset and we barely used it. The Soloist is lightweight, well thought out, heats up quickly, cleans easy, and the fact that you can store a small burner and a cansister of fuel inside of it just puts it over the top. We were at 10,000 ft and I cooked every meal with a cheap isobutane screw on burner, a canister of fuel and the Soloist. Anyone who tells you that you need one of those crazy multi-fuel backpacking stoves with the separate bottle is nuts unless you plan to hike Everest. Keep it simple. Go with the Solist.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
Great little light weight package. I added a cup/mug and did away with the stove bag. This allowed me to add small bottles of oil, butter, salt & pepper, etc. FOON I throw out .. didn't like the design (only reason for one con). Can't get any better for one person!

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
This is a great little cookset!
I used mine in combination with a Snow Peak Giga Power stove and an MSR 113g fuel canister. I fit the Snow Peak Giga windscreen in the bottom of the Soloist bag as well. Great compact setup that all fit into the Soloist canister.
One night we were completely rained in and stuck in our tents. I used the above combo to cook Ramen in my vestibule and it was great.
The only complaint I have is that the included spork is kind of flimsy. Not a big deal though since I have my own spork I use anyway.

Comments about GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:
I've had this set out about 5 times now. It packs up perfectly with room for salt, oatmeal, lighter, etc. As mentioned before the msr pocket rocket doesn't quite fit, but the space can be put to other uses. Everything feels very solid except the spork, which I replaced with something more durable. After use the food just slides off the nonstick surface. I usually just wipe it down with a paper towel and throw the towel on the fire. The sink thing does work if you wanna go that way.
