Need a shakedown/purchase advice.

TLDR I need advice on a ~1L pot - a heat exchanger and a more robust stove than the BRS in addition to advice on a cheapish spring/summer quilt.

I’m trying to get back into backpacking with my girlfriend and it will be her first backpacking trip. I have a decent grasp around what I need to bring, but I’m pretty rusty and haven’t done an overnight it at least two years. The idea is to do a quick overnight in the next few weeks to knock off the cobwebs and see if she enjoys it before planning a 4-5 day trip late summer/early fall.

I have an Xmid 2 on the way because I’m a tarp/bivy guy and wanted something more spacious and it would be stupid to buy a second 1 person setup. The plan is for me to carry most of the shared stuff in my Exos 48 and to let her carry her gear in my Kumo.

My main question is the cook kit. I would generally cold soak in a skippy jar or use a BRS and small pot, so I’m going to end up buying something around 1L. I’ve seen the posts about the Jetboil Stash pot Soto windmaster being a great combo but cannot find the stash pot by itself and don’t want to spend $140 for a pot with a stove I won’t use. Any recs for a stove pot combo are welcome. I have hardcore analysis paralysis.

Any other tips are also welcome. https://lighterpack.com/r/opgfve. I’m thinking about picking up an EE revelation with Apex for a spring/summer quilt because of humidity (southeast US).
