Jetboil Helios 2011

£130.00

The best way to reduce the weight you carry when camping is to share kit and use very efficient gear. The Jetboil Helios provides by far the most efficient use of gas in this test with boil times from 2 to 3.5 minutes throughout the life of the gas. The key to its superior performance is in part due to ...

Jetboil Flash 2011

£80.00

Offering an integrated burner and pan design, the Jetboil Flash provides impressive boil times throughout the life of the gas canister. It’s also a very neat and compact design as the burner and gas canister can be stored within the pot, making this very easy and neat to pack in a rucksack. The most important feature of the Jetboil is ...

Trangia 27-5UL 2011

£65.00

Trangia meths stoves are extremely well-established and come in a wide variety of designs. The 27-5UL comes with two aluminium non-stick pans and a pan lid that doubles as a frying pan or plate, so you can do some proper cooking with this system. The Trangia is also ‘Recommended Kit’ for Duke of Edinburgh’s Award participants. It’s unbelievably simple to ...

Primus Express Spider 2011

£45.00

The main problem with connecting a gas burner directly to the top of a gas canister is that the result is an unstable cooking system due to the height of the pan when placed on top. Also, to control the flame you have to position your hands directly under the pan of boiling water. A safer option is to connect ...

Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove 2011

£37.00

For a night or two of lightweight camping where you just need to heat up some water for a brew and to rehydrate a meal the Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove is a perfect choice. It’s based around a tiny meths stove, which weighs just 16g. The key to its success, though, is the thin metal cone that acts as ...

Hi Gear Blaze Titanium Gas Stove 2011

£35.00

Each year stoves get a little lighter and at 46g the Hi Gear Blaze Titanium takes the record in this test for being the lightest gas stove available. But the price is equally stunning too as it’s £10 less than the virtually identical GoSystem Fly Ti. The result is the perfect choice for the backpacker who wants minimal weight at ...

Vango Compact Gas Stove 2011

£13.00

There are a lot of very similar direct-mounted gas stoves, but of all of them, the Vango Compact Gas Stove offers the best value for money, while also being reasonably light. The design is fairly standard, with folding pan supports, but you do get a 12cm support diameter, which is a notch better than average. Flame control is good (as ...

SOTO Micro Regulator Stove 2011

£75.00

Clicking the ignition on the SOTO Micro Regulator Stove in the dark of our bothy, the first thing that struck us was the width of the flame that it generates, when running at full throttle. Canister stoves are light and deliver fast boil times but they don’t always sustain power output, because the gas in the canister cools as it’s ...

Primus Eta Express 2009

£60.00

The Primus Eta Express is the one-person version of the two-person Eta Power stove, and both are superbly efficient due to the use of heat exchangers on the base of the pans. The burner on the Eta Express is identical to the Primus Express with Ignition burner. So it is the pans and the windshield that are the key features ...

MSR Reactor 2009

£110.00

Billed as the fastest, most fuel-efficient system available, the MSR Reactor promised a revolution in stove design when it appeared in 2007. The stove consists of a very unusual burner, and you also get a 1.7 litre pot and lid. The stove and a full-size gas canister can be stored in the pot, with a handle folding over the lid ...

Jetboil Personal Cooking System 2009

£75.00

Since its UK launch in 2005, the Jetboil Personal Cooking System has become a modern classic gas stove thanks to its compact and efficient design, which makes it ideal for one person in need of a quick brew. The dedicated pot has a Fluxring heat exchanger built onto the base, while the tall, narrow design allows as much heat as ...

EtaPower MF stove - Volunteer tester

£120.00

Review by mountainmachine The first thing I have to say about this stove is how quickly and efficiently it boils water. At first I was dubious about how the small heat exchanger and windshield could have such a big impact. But there is no doubt that it does its job well. From ignition it sounds like it has the power ...

Markill Phoenix

£105.00

This is a true multi-fuel stove as it can use gas as well as all the flammable liquids. This is an ideal combination if you want one stove for a weekend away as well as something with more punch and choice for longer trips. It’s a respectable weight at 426g for the burner and fuel pump, and packs down pretty ...

MSR Whisperlite International

£75.00

This is a modern classic stove that’s ideal for extended trips. The stove weighs in at a respectable 402g plus fuel. Setting up is easy and, like all petrol stoves, lighting is easy once you get the knack. The boil time is very impressive at around three minutes, which will be the same no matter how much fuel there is ...

Trangia 25-8UL/HA

£75.00

Trangia meths stoves are extremely well-established and are unbelievably simple to set up and use. The meths burner sits inside a housing that acts as a windbreak and pan support. Once assembled the Trangia is exceptionally stable, and unlike most stoves actually works better in the wind. The Trangia comes with three pans and a kettle; in this version the ...

Jetboil Personal Cooking System

£60.00

The JetBoil has rapidly become a modern classic, thanks to its superb performance, which marked a change in stove efficiency and signalled a new direction for stoves, where the pot is now as important as the burner. Under the pot there’s a set of heat exchangers while the size of the pot is ideal for the burner and the result ...

Primus Eta Express

The Eta Express is the one-person version of the Eta Power stove, and both are superbly efficient thanks to their use of a heat exchanger on the base of the pan. In fact, the burner on the Eta Express is identical to the Primus Express with ignition unit, so it’s the pans that are key and they manage to deliver ...

Primus Gravity II EF

£50.00

For regular use, a low-profile gas stove is an excellent option; gas is easier to use and the low-profile design makes the stove more stable. The Primus Gravity II EF is an excellent example of this type of design. It comes with folding legs to make it even more stable while the exceptionally slender design really hugs the ground. Most ...

Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove

£27.00

This is a remarkable product, based around a tiny meths stove that weighs only 16g. In the past I’ve tried these and they’re rubbish, but the addition of the Caldera Cone transforms the performance by acting as a windshield, supporting the pan and funnelling the heat to the base of it. The Caldera Cone is designed to be used with ...

Go System Flexifuel

£80.00

This stove weighs 474g burner + 122g fuel pump (+ fuel); boil time 4 min 30 sec; 16cm diameter pan supports; low profile for stability; can burn gas, refined and unleaded petrol, paraffin. But no windshield; quite heavy; didn’t light as readily as others; expensive compared to more powerful stoves.

Optimus Crux Lite

£40.00

At 74g this stove is extremely lightweight, and it’s also extremely compact. There are a few stoves that weigh almost the same as this one, but the Crux Lite just about has the edge when everything else is taken into account. Firstly it’s easy to assemble and use the stove – you just have to fold out the pan supports. ...

This stove weighs 392g stove + 62g windshield (+ fuel); boil time around 4 min 30 sec throughout fuel life; 19cm diameter pan supports; low profile for stability; well-proven stove; burns refined and unleaded petrol, paraffin, diesel; better flame control than MSR Whisperlite.

Primus Micron Ti

This stove weighs 70g (+ gas); boil time 2 min 25 sec to 4 min 12sec; 13cm diameter pan supports; folding pan supports for compact packing; superb price for performance. But not as stable as lower-profile stoves; best boil time is only available with fresh gas canister; only a 35mm diameter burner, so hot spots more likely than some heavier ...

Primus ETA Express

Camping stoves are prime targets for space and weight saving as they are only used for a few minutes a day when backpacking. So what a backpacker ideally needs is a super-efficient stove that uses the minimal amount of fuel to cook up an evening meal. Better still, the stove needs to be lightweight and compact enough to pack down ...

GoSystem Trail Classic

This is a basic camping stove that just gets on with the job and doesn’t bother with the frills… and I love it. Its clean, simple design is easy to fathom, you get a decent burner that kicks out plenty of heat, it’s small and light and comes with a carry box containing a ‘stove first aid kit’ (O rings ...
