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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

Primus Micron Ti

£45.00

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 ...

GoSystem Trail Classic

£10.00

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 ...

Trangia Trangia

£40.00

The Trangia is one of the most eternally popular camping stoves on the market, although it’s not to everyone’s taste. It is extremely simple, can’t go wrong and comes complete with a set of two pans, a frying pan that doubles as a lid, plus a perforated handle. It’s nearly impossible to knock over too. The built-in windshield makes it ...
