"I bought the titanium version of this stove 1 month ago and have issues with using it in temperatures below zero.

At sea level (at home) I can boil a litre of water in under 6 minutes which is on par with the Jetboil. but obviously significantly lighter weight."

"All I can say is WOW. What a great little stove. We have two. One for my son and one for me. Never had problem one. Works great for simmering actual food, and if you just boil water for your food, it does that quickly. Highly recommended."

"After years of frustration with various stove arrangements, I purchased the Snow Peak GigaPower Auto stove--and I'm in love with it.

It's light, stable, efficient, hot, and lights easily every time. My only quibble would be that the adjustment at very low output is kinda difficult, but certainly no worse than any other backpacking stove."

"GREAT stove. VERY light. I prefer it over some of the other canister stoves at the same price and weight. It has 4 stands for better stability, and heat control is somewhat better (think somewhere between a white gas stove and typical canisters)."

"This stove rocks! Super compact and lightweight. I weighed the stove, stove storage box, and a 80min. canister for a total of 1 lb. 1 oz. I picked it up for a pack that I just returned from.

My experience is that it cooks faster than advertised."

"This stove is fast and super light. It's worth the extra money for the auto. I've only used this stove for boiling water because it's the only requirement for all the food I use on backpacking trips. When I'm in the woods I don't care about a 5 star gourmet meal, just something to fill me up and keep me going."

"I bought this incredibly lightweight stove June 2007 and have loved it for backpacking trips. So easy to start and has a powerful, yet very adjustable flame and stable stove top.

This weekend we opted to take the stove snow camping, even though a white gas stove is usually recommended."

"This is a great little stove: solid quality, 4 cooking dish rests (as opposed to 3 on the MSR compacts), folds up nicely into a small container; comes with a nice sturdy container, and has auto-ignite (as opposed to the lightweight, compact MSR).

This stove puts out a very nice flame and, with the bigger stand, I can cook with a larger bowl, meaning more surface area to heat quicker."

"I used to use an MSR Whisperlite and it was great and then I was fortunate to find this bad a$$ little mother! It is amazing how this little guy works so flawlessly and is so light, functional, and is a decent price to boot.

I will most likely never buy another different kind of stove for as long as I live."

"I completely agree with the other reviewer's critiques. I would just add that, for low heat cooking or simmering, I had a difficult time adjusting the burner down enough to keep things from boiling or burning. I am considering a trivet or something to raise the pot a little. Anyone with similar experience...advice?"

"Very good stove. Very efficient w/ fuel. GET THE AUTO IGNITION, it is nice. And make sure you bring a wind shield. You really couldn't ask for more, it is very small and light and barely uses fuel. Nice product."

"This is an awesome stove! Being a foody, my stove is very important to me. I recently bought this stove for a four day wilderness canoeing trip. I brought it to accompany my Brunton Optimus stove as I would be cooking some pretty gourmet dishes. It blew my Optimus out of the water."

"I have used this stove on six hikes, one with 5 people using the stove, 1 can of fuel lasted 2 days, we used mostly freeze dried food. In the wind the wind screen is worth the price and weight. It speeds up boiling times greatly. I have used in the cold down to about 10 deg f and it worked good but a little slow."

"I agree with Stewart; this stove rocks. I've never used a stove so small, compact and powerful before. I've always used propane stoves.

This little stove powers up on the first light. It can't get better than that!!! I've cooked for four people and only used half a canister of fuel."

"This thing rocks!

PROS: Great control, easy lighting (get the piezo igniter -- why bother with matches?), reliable, very compact, comes with a plastic case, light, stable/grippy cooking surface (fold-out wires have a serated surface to help dig into pot bottoms)."
