G Works Gas Saver Plus

This is a follow-up to Alpine1's review of the FlipFuel device and others like it. The concept of these devices is clever. They work (for a while), and the device will eventually pay for itself. Two things Alpine1 did not point out is there are a handful of different brands of these things, and they're not all equal, and it is very easy to overfill a canister. First, the FlipFuel device in particular—the threads appear to be aluminum, which will be its weak point. Aluminum threads will strip out… Full review

FlipFuel Fuel Transfer Device

Problem solver for all users of isobutane gas canister stoves. Simple, lightweight device that allows partially emptied canister gas to be consolidated. Affordable and quick solution to a chronic issue.     Any user of isobutane gas canisters (MSR, JetBoil, Snow Peak, etc) inevitably finds themselves dealing with canisters that have various amounts of fuel remaining in them. Each trip one has to decide whether to pack new or used (or some combination) canisters. Frequently I take a new canister… Full review

Little Buffalo Camp Grill

Great collapsible grill for cooking over the campfire and keeping the kettle going. It's small enough that I can keep it in my truck to grab it whenever I need it. I've had my share of campfire tripods and, though a little more expensive, this Little Buffalo Camp Grill is a lot more versatile, lighter, and collapses down smaller than anything I've had to date. It's sturdy enough to hold the grill, kettles, and various other items like your grilling utensils. It can also be used to hang lanterns… Full review

Optimus Clip-On Windshield

Compact and quick to install. I use this with a 100-gm canister, a Soto Amicus stove and a GSI Minimalist pot. Canister, stove, and lighter fit inside the pot while this windshield wraps around the pot taking up next to zero room. Overall a very compact setup. Increases the efficiency of the stove.  Full review

Optimus Clip-On Windshield

A lightweight, versatile, and inexpensive windshield for canister stoves that also works with spirit stoves. It increases stove efficiency and reduces gas consumption. Won’t fit all models/types of canister stoves and cooking pot sizes, though. After many many years using my Lixada Titanium spirit stove (Trangia-style) for cooking meals and boiling water in the backcountry, I’m back to canister stoves. My older ”generic” stove stoped working, perhaps from staying stored without use for too… Full review

MSR Universal Canister Stand

Inexpensive and lightweight GICD prevention for canister top stove users. “If you push something hard enough, it will fall over” — Fudd's First Law of Opposition (from the Firesign Theater comedy album “I Think We’re All Bozos on This Bus”) Mathematics tells us that when you put a heavy object on top of a tall support with a relatively narrow base, well, it will fall over. For example, let’s say you’re boiling up some pasta on your fancy canister top stove system (i.e. MSR Windburner… Full review

IMCO Triplex Super 6700 Lighter

An indispensable part of my outdoor cooking kit, for as long as I can remember. Cheap, tough, reliable as the dawn. Back when you could buy a Zippo—probably the platonic form of lighter—for £15, an IMCO was £2.50. Cheaper to buy and replace after a dark and muddy camping trip. Made almost entirely of thin gauge, mild steel—so it's lighter than alternatives—and of a design which seals better than some other petrol lighters. I have lost a couple of IMCOs but never had one fail, or wear out. Full review

IMCO Triplex Super 6700 Lighter

A great fire backup starting tool in the field....   A great addition along with a ferro rod for emergencies at home or in the field. Here is a description of the product: The original 1936 “foxhole lighter” from Austria. All chrome nickel (available in brass too) gasoline lighter with a flip-it-open to light, snap-it-shut to snuff it out. Has an adjustable wind ring around the air slots. Pull out the fuel container with burning wick to light your pipe or campfires or storm lanterns. For flint… Full review

MSR LowDown Remote Stove Adapter

This MSR LowDown Remote Stove Adapter is designed for use with MSR canister stoves, as a means to increase the safe use of stoves by removing the need to reach under a pot to adjust flame control, to facilitate fine adjustment on temperature control for cooking, and to allow the safe use of such stoves with larger pots and on uneven surfaces. Essentially, the adapter allows the stove to be controlled from a remote controller, mounted on the fuel canister. The adapter is new for spring 2022, and… Full review
