Jetboil milliJoule Cooking System

Best thing about this stove is that it can be used with the fuel inverted for cold weather (below freezing) or at high altitude (+12k). I bought this to replace using a white gas stove. SETUP: Very simple setup—connect regulator to canister and you're ready to go. No need for any priming or pumping! IGNITION & FLAME CONTROL: Works great with the canister upright, just like any other JetBoil you can easily simmer with this in this configuration. When it gets to cold or you're too high for the… Full review

Jetboil Zip Cooking System

Kookpot houder er niet standard bij!! [Cooking pot holder not standard!] Waardeloos dat er geen pot houder bij zit voor dat geld.  Na koken water krijg je de kop er niet af!! omdat hij uitzet en zich vast zet.  [Worthless that there is no pot holder for that money. After boiling water you will not get the head off !! because it expands and settles.] Full review

Primus ClassicTrail

I used the original version of this stove in 1973 . It was guaranteed to work at 12,000 feet. We used it on Mount Whitney 14496.811 feet and it worked great. At Dicks Lake the temperature was 0-ish, the wind was blowing at 35-40 mph, and it boiled water in 10 minutes. Without this stove my brother Michael and I would have never done our 1400+ miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. Full review

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
