Primus ClassicTrail

Simple, well-made, and it works. Last summer we drove 4000 miles, camping across the country and back, without a stove or really any cooking utensils. Combine that with a fire ban throughout much of the Western U.S., and it meant a lot of cold meals and mediocre fast food. So for our next camping trip in the California Redwoods I decided to get out my old backpacking stove and see if it might still work. I was honestly doubtful. I bought my Primus Classic Trail Stove maybe 15 years ago and for the… Full review

BRS 3000T

Great quality little ultralight backpacking stove. I was a little skittish about the quality and reliability for a stove I found for sale for less than $10 shipped. But for ten bucks I took it for a test drive. I now own three of these. One for my hiking kit and two for vehicle emergency packs. I can't find a negative thing to say about these. Buy with confidence. Full review

MSR PocketRocket

A reliable lightweight workhorse of a backpacking stove. This stove works every time. It is reliable. It is so easy to set up—just screw it on to an isobutane container and you're ready to go. I don't even bother with any additional stand. There is no piezo igniter, so you must use a fire steel, lighter or match. The flame is adjustable and works great from simmer to full blast. With my GSI Soloist kit or my simple camp cup the cooking is easy and the boil time less than 3 minutes for 2-4 cups… Full review

Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System

Excellent, lightweight, compact, easy to use stove system. Self contained when stored, quick setup and very quick boiling time. Great for camping, hiking, and backpacking. Jetboil has been my go-to stove away from base camp and my preferred method of boiling water during outdoor activities. The stove sets up quick, has a built-in igniter and is stable. I don't simmer much as I am mostly re-hydrating but the MicroMo has good simmer control when you need it. It will boil a cup of water in about a… Full review

MSR WindBurner Duo Stove System

While pricy and a bit more bulky and heavy than some stove systems, the WindBurner Duo System with remote canister is a stable, weather-resistant stove for fast, easy use, even in adverse conditions with options to expand one's cooking range with the addition of other modular pots and pans.

BRS 3000T

The must-have stove for the ultralight enthusiast. For under £8 there really is no excuse for not buying one! Bought one of these several years ago (don't remember exactly when) and whenever I fly abroad it comes with me. I keep it packed in its bright green carry bag when not in use and store it inside my titanium cooking pot set, along with an MSR spark ignitor, a titanium spork, and a folding tripod to spread the footprint of the gas canister.  A few years back I went on a two-week driving… Full review

Snow Peak GigaPower Stove, Titanium, Auto

Great three-season backpacking stove with exceptional simmer control. New model is called GigaPower2, essentially the same stove. It's very well made, reliable, and lightweight. Setup: Easy to unfold legs and screw onto fuel canister.  Ignition: Auto-ignitor is reliable and easy to spark. Flame Control: Great simmer control. Cooking: Not as fast to boil as in integrated stove, about 3-4 minutes for 3/4 liter. Wind Resistance: I highly recommend the matching windscreen. It's like a small dish with… Full review

Primus Micron Ti 2.5

I have been using this stove for around...maybe 10 years? Never have any issue, and I saw another review for hard-to-fold issue, that is because of Titanium's characters, the good abrasion with other metal and non-stick to the food. It's totally expected and, in a way, I appreciate Titanium is solid when putting a pot on it, and not to have a boiling water pot moving around on top of the stove. Once you understand the pros, you will realize they're not cons. This is a great product I have been using… Full review

Ozark Trail 2 Burner Propane Stove

Had to call Customer Service and get replacement gas regulator within days of purchasing this stove. Then it worked for a year (stored and unused). We didn't go out camping throughout this time, and didn't use the stove. Tried it after a year, the stove works for a few minutes, then the flame sort of dies down. We adjust it to compensate, a few minutes later the flame starts sputtering, and then like a huge flame thrower it will put out the flame in a flower pattern. Tried cleaning up as much as… Full review
