Titanium is all the rage in stoves and cookware at Outdoor Retailer this summer, including these new offerings from Evernew and Jetboil.
Evernew
Evernew America, a company known for its titanium cookware, was showing an interesting integrated stove-and-cookset nicknamed the Appalachian Set.
The Appalachian Set includes five interchangeable components (also available separately) that together create a versatile, light stove system.
An ultralight titanium alcohol stove forms the center of the system, which nests in two interlocking cylinders. The stove, nested in the cylinders, forms a stand for a 500-ml pot.
The pot incorporates a raised ridge on its underside, to prevent it from sliding off the top of the stove and dumping ramen on your lap.
A separate titanium trivet enables users to dispense with the locking cylinders in still weather and cook directly on the stove. Out of alcohol? Set up the cylinders without the stove and you have a serviceable micro-wood fueled stove.

Jetboil
Jetboil will release a titanium version of its newest high capacity cooking system, the Sumo Ti, as part of a group cooking system for 2012.
The 1.8-liter Sumo Ti is designed for groups of two to four people and weighs just 12 ounces. For comparison, the 1.5-liter Group Cooking System (GCS) it replaces weighs 20 ounces, and the 1-liter aluminum Flash weighs 14 ounces. The system, with Sumo titanium companion cup, uses the same all-weather burner as the Sol, which is not titanium.
Available separately are three Sumo Companion accessory bowls: two 23-oz/675 ml and one 15-oz/450 ml. The bowls let a family of three enjoy three separate meals from the same stove, or let a couple enjoy two meals and hot beverage. The polypropylene bowls have snap-on, drink-through lids, and insulated cozies.
Jetboil also has a hard anodized aluminum Sumo cooking system that weighs 16 ounces. It's also powered by same burner as the Sol, which incorporates regulator technology to maintain consistent pressure and output down to 20 degrees and includes the high capacity 1.8-liter Sumo companion cup.
