Since I sit firmly in the “Two is one, and one is none” camp, and the idea of eating Dinty Moore heated on my engine block (search for previous threads on this) is less than appealing I have been thinking about back up cooking methods.
I have a heavy cruiser with a full galley. And it has never failed me. But what if it did? If my refrigeration went out, or my stove crapped out somehow, what is my back up? Well a store of freeze dried meals would be good. Except they work best with hot water. Granola bars and such would certainly keep me alive. But I was trying to think of a more attractive solution.
I could get a single burner propane stove certainly. And carry some 1lb cans for emergencies. But I decided to do some testing with the Gosun Go.

I received it yesterday and I will be testing it over the next few weeks and let you know how well it works.
I am partially drawn to this solution because 15 years or so ago I built a huge solar concentrator hot dog cooker out of a 10 foot satellite dish for Burning Man! We called it The Solar Death Ray 3000!
