Overview
Setting up this stove means seating a disposable butane canister in its magnetic locking system and turning the knob to light the burner with the piezo igniter. Aluminum and steel construction holds the weight down, and the case travels with it.
Self-ignition, an automatic safety shut-off and a hard case make it easy to carry and quick to start. The limits are one burner and a fuel type that only takes butane canisters.
Who it's for
Camp kitchens, tailgates and countertop hotpot or tabletop cooking where a single flame is enough. Cooks needing multiple burners or other fuels should look at a different stove.
Pros and cons
- Automatic safety shut-off
- Magnetic canister lock
- Carrying case included
- Knob heat control
- Single burner only
- Butane fuel only
- Canister not included
- Warranty is one year
Performance notes
Flame size is set with the control knob, and output depends on butane flow from the canister. Cold weather lowers canister pressure, so heat can drop outdoors in low temperatures. A sealed burner head is simple to wipe clean after use.
