Snow Peak LiteMax Stove

Don't forget where you put the Snow Peak LiteMax Stove, because at less than two ounces and about three inches across, you'll never find it again. This titanium and aluminum stove is seriously light and compact, folks. You can close your fist around the entire package, yet when deployed and attached to a fuel canister, the LiteMax is surprisingly stable for being so tiny and its folding arms double as wind shields to prevent blowing out. Turned to full power, 11,200 BTU's get your noodles to a rolling boil in a jiffy.

Bottom Line: Trust Snow Peak to break the barriers of stove weight and size.

Ultra Lightweight Blowtorch

By: Jeff Gerhard
3 days ago

If you're looking for an ultra lightweight, super hot stove, this is for you. I mostly camp at or above timberline for extended periods of time & this stove will boil 16 0z. of water in 6 minutes @ that elevation. The folding pot supports are stable enough to accommodate an 8 in. diameter pot or pan. (Just remember to factor in water weight which is 2 lbs. per 1 quart/liter). Total weight with the little velvet stuff sack is 2.2 oz. Another high quality Snow Peak product.

Does anyone have a better estimate for burn time for this stove?...

Does anyone have a better estimate for burn time for this stove? "Varies" is kinda vague.

I can't speak for the folks @ sea level, but @ 11,600 ft. (Colorado timberline), it can boil 16 oz. of water in 6 minutes.

Will it work with other canisters of fuel?

Yes. All upright canister stoves have the same (Lindal) valve. Side feed Coleman stoves and some really cheap/heavy stoves use different systems.

Tweak This Flag

up to what altitude does this stove function properly?

Flag

Canister stoves will perform at all altitudes. It is the cold and wind that comes with high altitude that will cause some problems. The fuel canister performance will suffer if it becomes too cold. Keep the canister in a warm place like your sleeping bag or a down jacket just prior to use.

Tweak This Flag

Simply the best!

By: Texas backpacker

I got this stove right when it came out directly from Snow Peak and I am completely in love with it. I also own the MSR Pocket Rocket and this stove blows it out of the water. It smaller, lighter, and puts out more heat than the PR. I have only been able to use it once on a three day backpacking trip in Arkansas and it performed flawlessly. Excellent simmer capability, relatively stable platform, and solid construction makes this a must buy. I don't know how it behaves in windy or cold conditions, but canister stoves in general don't work amazing. I can't speak to the fuel efficiency of this stove, but it still seems like I have a fair amount of fuel left after cooking for 3 other people in Arkansas. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for an ultra-light stove.
