Is it advisable to keep a stove pump unit attached to the bottle when the stove isn't in use during a backpack trip or during storage at home?

Not advised, but not the end if the world. I wouldn't do it at home for sure. But on a trip it shouldn't matter as long as it doesn't leak. However, I don't take that chance. The risk of fuel leaking our evaporating at home or in a backpack isn't worth it to me. I would strongly advise to store it with the intended cap, for the sake of risk management.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly. Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it.

You can put any kind of fuel into the bottle however you will want to check the type or types of fuel that are compatible with the stove you have. Different fuels have different burn times and there are several other factors including elevation, wind, and type of stove that would make it extremely difficult to give an accurate answer for this. Any of the tanks would be good for backpacking, obviously the longer the trip, the more fuel you need so it just depends on what kind of trip you are planning. For three days, the smallest bottle would probably be fine

The Omnilite Ti stove requires a pump to work. The package comes with a pump which is attached to the bottle.

You could carry it, but it is really meant to be on the counter. There's water in it at all times unless you empty it and it would need to be plugged in to heat.

I don't know about the snow peak cup for nesting but the taper of it will have it move around a little when nesting, not too bad though. I have 2 cook kits I use depending on what I'm doing. 1 is the backpacker bottle and a MSR seagull stowaway pot and the backpacker bottle a bottle hanger bail and a GSI glacier cup that I keep on top of the bottle. The other set up is the pathfinder store's grilltop bottle stove with a Olicamp cup nesting inside of it then that nest inside if the Stanley camp cookset with that all nesting around the backpacker bottle with the GSI glacier cup on top of it. It's a stainless steel set up similar to the swiss volcano stove. I'm sure you can make it work for you but the bottle is a solid peice ok kit. If it's the only piece of kit for water carry and purify/cooking I can take then I'm not disappointed at all. I've boiled water in it, cooked some soups in it and also have used it to make char cloth in but I will say it is a little work to clean the inside of it if you do. A hint get some bar keeps friend cleaner and a wire or scotch brite scrub brush on a long handle it will help just clean it real good then it's right back ready for action. Well good luck!

No, but the hose/adapter for the larger tank(s) are helpful. I still use the 1# (Coleman) green bottles and refill them myself. It is rare to need a second bottle while cooking a single meal, but I have plenty. Your choice!

Yes but I would recommend wrapping in an old, lightly oiled kitchen towel first. The handles remove for storage. I can put the stove, the propane attachment, grates, diffuser plate, griddle and kitchen towels for padding so things don't clang during transport, all in the bag and there is still a little extra room.Do not put the griddle in the top pocket.If you are carrying that much weight, use luggage straps or paracord straps around the bag. I would also recommend carrying it by the straps instead of the handle. The bag seems to be well made but is not exactly designed to carry cast iron.

Thanks. That's why I keep it in a jar next to it. Its a pain to have to clean the unit each time, but I figured that might happen....

I don't leave the butane canister in the stove for safety reasons. I only use the burner outdoors. Hope this was helpful.

Not sure what you mean by a solo stove. I carry a Svea 123 inside mine. I wrap it in a thin rag (which does double duty while cooking) so it doesn't rattle in the pack.

The solo stove is not as compact. I like this one because it slips into the back of my pack and is not a space hog.

I take the basket off, pour the coffee, and put the basket back when I put the pot back on the burner. I use most or all of the coffee just after it's brewed so it's not a problem for me. Also, it's not attached as much as it is sitting there, so it's not a hassle to attach and detach. It's easier to fill while it sits on top of the coffee pot than regular baskets which are in the brewer. If you have to pour the coffee multiple times, it might be a hassle.

It's made of plastic. As for you stove it depends on what kind of portable stove. If your stove produces heat (not convection) then I wouldn't put it on this type of 'shelf'. Hope that helps.

No i wouldn't use another pump.Only use the Primus pump as it does come with one when you purchase the stove.Hope this helps.

You can detach the fuel canister after you are finished cooking and store it inside the pot with all the other things, burner, cup for easy packing and storage.

If you use it regularly, I wouldn't recommend storing it. I use mine daily.
