"Great stove! I used this recently on a 3-day trip and was able to use a frying pan to make eggs with bacon and potatoes and peppers, and it simmered very well. It sounds like a jet but it functions so well, and is usually cool by the time you finish your meal and finish cleaning your dishes."

"The directions recommend boiling pots no larger than 6 liters. It looks like an MSR XGK that's been to fat camp. Shapes and finishes are superior to pretty much anyone else.

Snow Peak advises against any field repairs of any kind ever. They also warn about radiant heat from the unit starting fires around the stove."

"Snow Peak is my new favorite company for stoves, and the Gigapower BF was the stove that did it for me. It is a little more clunky than some of the smaller canister top stoves, but I like that it has a broader base. I hate having to balance a pot on top of a canister while trying to stir -- my soup always ends up on the ground."
