Wonderful Product

Snow Peak Titanium Double Wall Cup 450

Snow Peak Titanium Double Wall Cup 450

Rating for this product: 5 May 26, 2010

This is truly a great product. Fit and finish is excellent. I got the double wall because of the better insulating properties and I'm glad I did. You can't boil directly in the cup, but with the double wall, cold drinks stay colder and hot drinks stay warmer for longer. Highly Recommended!

Great Design, Loose the bead blast.

Backcountry.com Long Handled Spoon

Great design of the spoon. Head is just right; flat to get in the nooks and crevaces of bags and the hande is nice and long. Lightweight and sturdy but the bead blast has got to go on the head. Food seems to "stick" to it more and it feels like sand paper on your lips and teeth.

Bark is worse than bite 2

Brunton Vapor All-Fuel Stove

Brunton Vapor All-Fuel Stove

Rating for this product: 3 February 10, 2009

Brunton has wonderful customer service. After posing my issue to them, it was RA'd without question. The new stove performs the same as the old one, getting about 12-13 minute 1L boil times using 70°F water in a 60°F room with a 1L REI aluminum pot. Quite dissatisfying! As stated in my below post, my old SVEA 123 performed better at 11:31 for 1L and the old Coleman 440 kicks serious butt at under 5 minutes all the time. As far as all fuel is concerned, this thing seems to burn just about all volatile fuels, except alcohol. Burns diesel, kerosene, white gas, and gasoline (I've tried all) as well as canister fuels which makes this stove very versatile unless you want FAST boil times. Simmering is great and flame control is good. I would not call this stove an "all fuel" as I don't think it will burn veg oil, rapeseed oil, or bunker C. ;) I do believe however that it would burn just about any other high to med VOC fuels....it just won't perform anywhere near the 3.5 minute boil time.

MSR XGK EX Multi-Fuel Stove

February 6, 2009

Two questions 1) how does the "loudness" compare to a Brunton Vapor AF? It's a loud stove as well. 2) Some say it doesn't simmer but the specs say it does...anyone have insight on this feature?

I purchased this stove to update/replace my still functional Coleman 440 (1994) with a lighter more compact unit. I'm not an avid hiker/camper but now that my kids are getting old enough to comfortably introduce them to the outdoors I want to get back into it. After reading many reviews I settled on this model. It arrived and I immediately set it up. I'm 35 and "gadgets" still make me feel like a kid. :) The stove is solidly built and extremely easy to set up and very stable. I set the stove to gas and hooked up a canisters I ordered along with it. Cracked the valves and lit it. Yep! It's loud, although I'm not looking for silent cooking so it wasn't a concern. I mainly wanted a stove I could burn nearly anything I could find in it. First water boil trial....1L water in a 2L heavy bottom stainless steel kitchen pot (don't tell the wife), sounds impressive...4 minutes later, fully expecting this thing to outperform my 15 year old stove, I'm only seeing small bubbles form. This thing should have been just about boiling given the published 1L boil in 3½ minutes. Well, it finally boiled...total time 15:38!!!! I was sadly disappointed, figured it was because I was using a very heavy 2L kitchen quality pot so I broke out my trusty Coleman and repeated the test. The Coleman brought the water to full rolling boil in just under 7 minutes (6:58). Fully disheartened at that point I grabbed my normal 1.5L light aluminum pot and repeated the tests checking the temp. this time and recording when the water reached 100°C to be accurate. Results: Vapor AF using white gas, 9:59, using kerosene, 9:04, using Brunton canister fuel, 14:50. I attempted to use denatured alcohol, after an email from the company saying it should work, but it vaporizes the fuel to fast and won't run for more than a few seconds. Using my old Coleman stove and the thin wall pot I was able to boil the water in 4:54 and its about 1/5 as loud. So far I'm not at all impressed with the Vapor AF. Simmer ability is fabulous and the Vapor AF can be adjusted from a mere flicker of a flame to a full out blast. My old Coleman 440 simmers well but tends to have 'stages' of flame height adjustment when set low. I wasn't able to test a SVEA 123 that I have because of pot stability. That test will follow once I have a pot to use on it, I'm curious since the Vapor AF operates on the same principle.
