Dont you dare unravel the marketing teams crafty work!
The cupped burner may help with the wind… Personally I just use ~$10 stoves for hiking and carry some al-foil to use as a wind-shield, significantly smaller and lighter..
The Kmart stoves appear quite good for the money but they're rarely in stock: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/ultra-jet-butane-hiking-sto…
(If camping out of a vehicle I use a cheap Bunnings/Anaconda case style stove due to the cheap gas, if camping out of the boat when weight isn't an issue but size is I use a cheap box stove like: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/163828783815 )
OMG thank you man! I've been waiting for months for that kmart stove to pop back in stock. Seems to have great reviews. Just ordered it :)
Jeez the alfoil is such an ingenious tip. Never thought of it and always wanted a jetboil. My 360 stove will be just as good. Cheers!
They are pretty good in mild wind. I have a Soto Amicus (smaller version) which I have used in all sorts of conditions which has always worked well (I never need to use a shield with it).
Love the amicus, the built-in piezo lighter is super handy too.
Yeah me too! I would (and do) recommend it to anyone looking for a hiking stove.
Is your experience with this specific burner? OR just "camping stoves" in general. Because I promise you, the Soto is incredible in the wind. It's basically handmade japanese art.
Wonder what prompted them to make it so tall. Just a few degrees of uneven ground, and trying to cook with a tall slippery metal cup (like the stanley adventure cook cup) becomes a recipe for disaster.
To keep the flames away from the canister
In cold weather it's good to have some heat on the canister, unless you always buy the pricey cold weather gas… (speaking as a Tasmanian, lol)
I use a kovea spider for this reason. It even works with a butane adapter for much cheaper gas (in non freezing situations)
You can refill an isobutane/propane canister with butane canisters using a cheap adapter.
The spider takes 2-3x longer to boil up cup than this though. It's also less windproof.
Pros and cons all the time.
I use a foldable windscreen, but yes it takes a while and it’s really loud
It's made in Japan if anyone wonders
Careful, these can blow up your house, it's unlikely insce. will cover it.
These really aren't the type of stoves someone would use in their home.. (The gas canisters are pretty pricey unless you refill them from the cheap cans with an adapter)
Apparently you'd be surprised.
Lol
I own one of these and have found it invaluable! Got us through a month of trekking in Patagonia and two weeks in Tassie. Weighs almost nothing but holds its own in wind, rain and cold. Can highly recommend!
I use a BRS-3000T which was $27.
Your BRS-3000T isn't made in Japan, doesn't have a built in igniter, has a much smaller burner head, takes more than twice as long to boil a cup, and won't work in the conditions this will, or in 10 years.
Don't give that tenant more ideas!
ive used a $15 stove off ebay for probably close to 80 nights without an issue
IMO it's the best camp burner/stove of this type.
PRO: Works well unless it's very windy. Great output and efficiency compared to the other ones like BRS-3000T or MSR pocket rocket.
CON: It's a bit big for what it is so it's a bit fidgety when trying to pack it into a camping cup or bowl.
It packs perfectly into a Tokes 750ml titanium pot with room to spare for a small cloth to keep it from moving around
These are excellent!
Has anyone received this yet?
Mine shows it would arrive on 03/10-11/10
I have received the stove today!
Thanks for the update, I was worried because tracking status hasn't changed but now it shows it should be delivered early next week
Mine received today too, great little unit.
Windmaster? In my experience these aren't usually great if there's anything but the lightest of breezes. Need some sort of shield to keep the heat in/stop the wind blowing the flame out.
