Igniter Problems

I've noticed that some people say that the piezo igniter performs excellently, while others say that it doesn't work well at all. My igniter sparks consistently, but the flame has never caught. I've tried with the gas a little and a lot open, but have gotten nowhere.

Could I be doing something wrong? Could I have just gotten a bad egg?

As long as you have gas & a spark, the electrode is either too close or too far away from the gas source. Very carefully bend it in or out until your stove lights with the Piezo ignition. You won't have to bend it beyond .5mm in either direction. I had the same problem with an MSR Superfly & performing this procedure fixed the problem.

Before I got a chance to tweak the electrode, a coworker suggested I put a pot on top of the stove before lighting it. I did, and the igniter works every time.

I guess its just the nature of the beast when you design a stove this light and small, but I've beat the crap out of mine. Broke the auto-igniter on one, and I returned it, but the next one I bend the fold out arms pretty badly. I bent em back and its all good now, but for the price you should consider these issues. Maybe just get the regular "pocket rocket" model, its way burlier.

That said, when it wasn't breaking, it was really light and burned hot and efficient.

I used both the Gigapower and the Pocket Rocket. The Pocket Rocket, like most MSR products, is definitely awesome and will last a long time. In my opionion, though, this has the same solid feel and longevity.

This tiny little stove is great. Burns hot. Simmers. And is very light. The auto light doesn't work very well but that's no big deal for me. Save a few dollars and get the manual light. I had an MSR Whisperlite International. I gave it to my son. No more liquid fuel hassles. No sputtering and flare ups.

It´s Isobutane and butane the same thing?
Will this stove wok with butane canisters?

Bryan Vernetson

No. A butane canister is much like a hairspray bottle. They both have completely different connections and fuel mixes. The most important thing is that you make sure that the fuel canister you do get is a thread on like any Isobutane canister will be...not a punch on or a bottle tip insert, but thread on.

That said, if you do get the right size container that happens to have butane in it (unlikely, but conceivable), it'll work. Butane burns sootier, but they're the same chemical. Isobutane is an isomer of butane; the difference being that butane creates carbon (soot/smoke) if there's not enough oxygen, which'll clog your stove. Isobutane doesn't do that. You're probably not even going to be able to find butane canisters that fit, so it shouldn't be an issue.

I've asked this a few other places but ... does anyone out there have any decent 1-pot backcountry recipes? I'm sick of the freeze dried business.

Check out the "Bake-packer" which is an aluminum grid insert which allows you to "bake" inside your backpacking pot. We prepare mixes in ziplock bags, add powdered egg if necessary, then just add water in the backcountry. Cooks right in the bag, on the grid in the pot, and tastes incredibly good about your 4th day in the backcountry. Comes with recipes. We bake cornbread (we like Marie Calendar's mix), blueberry muffins, gingerbread... Last weekend I used it to cook a great omelet. Check it out at bakepacker.com, we all love it!

"One Burner Gourmet." We've been using it for years but mainly for car camping. It has a lot of great single pot recipes.

if you are looking for something super small and lightweight, this is it. the tines fold up so that it fits in a little white plastic box. it's so small that the box fits inside the snow peak double wall titanium mug. of course it works better in above freezing weather, but that's normal for the type of fuel it takes. overall, a great little stove. to go with it, i also bought the snow peak cutting board/base, and the windscreen.

Tiny little Japanese stove that heats really well! 1 cup of water takes about a minute to boil. If you're doing a long trip, bring matches and sandpaper as all piezo igniters have the same problem - they build up carbon on the tip and don't spark as well. So sand off that carbon and it should spark just fine. Un-documented second function: if you ever want to wake yourself up in the morning without coffee, just touch your thumb with the spark igniter and hit the button. YEOW!

No issues whatsoever, auto ignition has worked flawlessly, super light an packable. I recommend getting the windscreen for it as well....even if it does seem sacrilige since its not Ti, but it boosts efficiency greatly.

I had problems with the auto ingnition but after the exchange everything has been smooth sailing. Just make sure you have the stove on a solid base while cooking.

Never had a problem with it - works great, even in wet weather. Very happy.

I've taken this stove on winter mountain overnight hikes in Utah. The self ignite performed well even in cold temperature (0 deg F or below while I was using it) although I always take waterproof matches anyway. I used the stove as my water source and it melted snow great.
I love how small and light it is (there really is no reason to make a stove any lighter or smaller than this) and it performs great. I hike with guys who have jetboils and I don't find myself feeling jealous. P.S. Snow peak says to only use it with their canisters which I think is bunk - I use MSR's and they seem to work fine.

I've owned this stove for a few years now with zero problems. Fuel economy is excellent for a 3 day weekend with a buddy I would bring one of the smaller 110ml cans at moderate altitude(5-10k) and have plenty at the end of the trip. Does not offer good wind performance. Even though it isn't recommended by those wishing to limit liability I use a tin foil wind screen. Just make sure radiated heat isn't cooking your fuel can. ceramic igniter insulation is delicate so keep it in its hard case provided. Might be worth it to locktite any hardware to avoid loosing the tiny screws. So far its the best ultralight canister stove I've found.

Stove is well built, ignites without any issues and adjustable from a small flame up to the roaring heat. Perfect size for Snow Peak 1400 or MSR tea kettle. You can store, MSR, Fuel, stove and wind screen inside Snow Peak 1400. Auto ignition is nice and I am looking forward using it this season. An a separate note, that had to be a Japanese thing with folding, if you fold it correctly it makes a perfect square in the middle. As always great service from backcountry.

First stove I've ever owned that has zero learning curve for operation: I didn't even read the instructions! Pulled it out at the campsite at 10,000 feet, and it worked just like a Maytag! Seriously, you just turn it on like your stove at home. I didn't do any careful testing, but it heated water as fast as anybody else's stove. Didn't try the simmer - don't need it. Relatively quiet. Wish it had little stabilizer feet for the fuel canister like Jetboil. Also, a bit tricky to fold up into absurdly small box. Hate size/shape of canisters - never stay put in your pack like a fuel bottle. Makes you look like a sissy compared to "real" backpacking stoves like my MSR, but I'm drinking coffee while the manly men fiddle with matches and fuel.

I always carry matches - but piezoelectric lighter is fantabulous. Worked great at 11,000 with 4" of fresh snow in the morning. No more pumping or pre-heat gel. I love this stove. I would recommend a lid to your pot if you're up high. Even with this high output stove, it took me 6-7 minutes to boil water that morning without my lid.

I packed this out of the plastic box inside a Snow Peak double walled cup with a hot pad (a worthwhile luxury as it can double as a placemat on your lap) inside the Snow Peak 700 cook kit, no rattle while hiking. I loosen the flame adjustor before storing. Heats promptly and is quite adjustable. So handy having the built in sparker, easy to use and fuel lasts longer as you have no reason not to turn off the flame promptly before your next item. Cools quickly too.

I got this as a Christmas present after I had my eye on a different model but I have been so happy with this stove I'm glad I didn't get the other. It is small, quick, and heats evenly. The auto ignition is such a nice little convenience... no need to worry about matches.
