Snow Peak GigaPower 2Way Torch

rated 5.0 of 5 stars
photo: Snow Peak GigaPower 2Way Torch fire starter

As a stove I would give this a 3, but as a torch, which it is, it is perfect. If you only wish to heat water, and be able to light a campfire in a rain forest, this is a must-have tool. It will adapt to two kinds of tanks, but in the normal state it weighs 5.8 ounces.

You may burn 2 ounces of propane butane getting a fire lit, but you could almost get seaweed lit with it. However it will boil 10 ounces of water in a minute flat holding the pan over it in a gloved hand.
