Review: This camping stove is good value; one of fastest boil times on test; piezo ignition; very small. But very heavy for its size.

Boil time: 2min 25sec

Weight: 210g

Verdict:  Buy it if you want a good-value gas stove with good performance.

    It is a very compact gas stove which comes with a carry case and can fit in a small pocket. I have used this stove many times during small camping trips in the Lake District and it has always performed well. The stove itself has features including a piezo ignition, folding pan supports and good flame control. It has a reasonable boil time and will still perform in windy or cold conditions, though the performance will be dramatically reduced. In cold conditions it may be necessary, as with many gas canister stoves, to keep the canister in a jacket pocket or sleeping bag to warm it before use. Another thing to note is the burner and supports are quite small and so it is best used with small pans, ideally for one person. As well as a very light weight backpacking stove it is also good when being used with young people for trips, such as for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions as it is quite robust, cheap and doesn't take up much pack space. Con's: Cheap, robust, small & lightweight. Pro's: Boil time greatly reduced in cold or windy conditions, doesn't have very large pan supports or wide burner.
