What are thoughts on dis-assembly to facilitate backpacking with it? (small cordless drill) A friend has a packable guitar, a coffeepot just sucks.

I suppose it could be done, it might depend how much it is assembled/disassembled. Gluing certainly give the box more integrity.

Wouldn't work. Most of the drum uses wood glue around the edges and wouldn't be condusive to just screws.

Once you put it together it can not be taken apart. If it isnt glued it is too wobbly and you will not be able to sit on it...although they do make a cajon backpack.

If you were to use removable screws to assemble it, I don't think it would be strong enough to stand sitting and shifting weight around. I'm also not sure what affect a less tight seal would have on the sound. No, I believe you're better off strapping it to your back as a backpack and putting what you need inside of it. (Kind of a joke, but hey, if you really wanted to)

If you can put this together without glue, maybe. a smaller box drum would be better

I guess that just from past habit I have never attempted to pick up the lid with out a pot holder or glove. I will have to try it tomorrow. Thanks for the question . . . I will learn. The pot is fantastic. My wife and I both love it.

absolutly, I love it for dry camping. It doesn't keep coffee warm after its made but that doesnt affect me as i'm done before then.

That's a great idea, especially when only one mug of coffee is desired. It's better than no coffee at all. I'm thinking of camping or traveling and there isn't a coffee maker.

Hard to compare what has not been released yet. Concerns I saw from their video (search Solo Stove Campfire) Hard to add wood and doesn't fold up. Given that you can put the stove inside their nested pots would be a plus but size makes it questionable for backpacking.

Ive had them uninstalled for months. Depending on how much room you have to get a drill in there it shouldn't be too hard. An angled drill would be great, as that will be my approach. I just haven't had the time.

Well, overhead it would be fine...it's a rigid/strong guitar, but the bag isn't that thick. I think it would be ok getting jostled and tossed but throw a big hard suitcase on it and I think it's goodbye little Martin! Like that other person said, bubble wrap it and it may be good to go.

Hi,Unfortunately, I returned this Gearlux Hardshell case. It arrived damaged-dented in two places so I can't help you with an an answer. I decided to buy a guitar/gig bag instead. I didn't want to risk ordering another hardshell case and have it arrived damaged again. Sorry I can't help. Frank

I wish I could help, but I only live at 6100 or so. This high altitude coffee pot works fantastic for me, but another 2000+ feet will make a big difference. If I ever take it on a camping trip up to higher elevations, I can try it and let you know! I was told by Bunn that the mechanism works with less air than a traditional pot. How much less air? Who knows?

No, but it can be disassembled to a smaller profile, more than just folding the legs to one plane. It is not an ultralite, consequently it can handle a 2 litre boil pot well enough. Good for small group. Price is right, look elsewhere for more compact if needed.

Yea maybe it is one of my top five tools in my shop. the next step down would be fine for you and less money. i make guitars and it's a must.Good luck

Depends on your heat source? The pot and pan are fairly thin nothing compared to home cookwear. I use this set with my msr micro rocket and can scorch foods easily if I'm not careful. So I use the lowest setting and stir food while rotating the pan to disperse the heat evenly. All in all, this pan set is perfect for backpacking

my top is broken too. seems they would make these things last longer. buying the replacement part plus shipping is almost as much as the pot! I have not found the top locally, even thrifting. I love having brewed coffee though.

Okay Gary, I just heard back from our contact. Here is what she said:They could check different bushcraft forms and blogs sites to see what others said about the Emberlit. Here is a good video to show the customer for comparison of the 2 stoves https://youtu.be/0vXoZwSoVA8. The boil time is a lot faster than the Solo.We offer a life time warranty on all of our products and if they are not satisfied with it you can return with a full refund. It also depends what they are using the stove for the solo doesn't pack flat and you would have to lift your pot up to feed it fuel where the Emberlit has a side port to feed the fuel.

I'd say it's good for boiling small pots of water for dehydrated meals. Good for backpacking because it is light, but I wouldn't use it for a full camping stove, especially if you are cooking for multiple people.

Defining 'quickly' is the challenge here. Are they super hard to assemble & disassemble? No. But my gut feel is that if you were to keep traveling with this kit doing that day in and day out you're going to break/strip some of the tighteners, these need to be done slowly as some of them are plastic and from what I've read by other reviews (not happened to me) they can break. I think it's a great home kit with some traveling. If you're going to be traveling non stop either get a more expensive kit or do it carefully. quickly - can sometimes mean 'in a rough fashion' so if that's true then the wear on the kit might be a bit much.

Don't remember sent it packing. Coffee was not hot enough probably because thermal pot needs to be preheated and I only made about 5 cups at one time. Have and old pot just made 12 cups Sunday and coffee was hot, not hot when just 4 or 5 cups made
