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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
