Another weak point, so to speak, of the Genesis Basecamp Stove is its size. You will need to have both stoves on the cooking surface, as I don't think there is a way to detach and use only one. The provided pots and pans are also generously sized, which may be excessive for solo campers (unless they enjoy cooking large quantities of food).Read K
