Overview
Not a liquid-fuel or wood stove, the SOTO Amicus screws onto standard isobutane-propane canisters. A raised crown burner and a shock-resistant body are built for wind and rough handling, and an igniter version removes the need for matches.
Compact size, strong heat output and a wind-ready burner head make it an easy stove to take backpacking or car camping. The limitation is that the title covers versions with and without the igniter, and the listing gives no weight or packed size.
Who it's for
Hikers and campers cooking on canister fuel who boil water and heat meals will use this stove. Ultralight counters who need a stated weight, and buyers who must have the igniter, should confirm the exact version first.
Pros and cons
- Powerful heat output
- Raised burner for wind
- Optional piezo igniter
- Burns without soot
- Igniter version unclear in title
- Weight not listed
- Canister not included
Performance notes
Output is set by the burner and canister pressure, and the raised crown design shields the flame from gusts to keep boil times steady. A piezo igniter sparks the gas when the knob turns, saving matches. Canister size and temperature decide the burn time, and cold weather lowers pressure.
