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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

£60.00

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 ...

Primus ETA Express

£60.00

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 ...

It’s extremely well-made, packs down pretty small and has excellent, curved supports to accommodate a wide range of pan sizes. The pump system is metal and has an excellent, auto-clip fuel line attachment. ...
