Very nice solo stove.

I've had this stove for a year now and love it. Itâs very light and compact and supports pots well with its fold out support arms. I prefer this stove over the MSR pocket rocket because this has a larger burner that distributes the flame onto a wider area under the pot. The pocket rocket just shoots a flame straight up which can cause you to burn food easily if youâre not always stirring. This one boils water faster too. The auto ignition is a nice feature but not a necessity if you carry a lighter or matches. You donât have to use just gigapower fuel canisters. Canisters for similar stoves like the msr pocket rocket or jetboil work fine as well. I use the msr ones just because they happen to be cheaper at a store near my house. If you buy this stove, do yourself a favor and buy the windscreen that snow peak makes to go with it which is sold on this website, just search "gigapower windscreen". Itâs sold on this site and is relatively inexpensive. Its designed specifically for this stove and sits on the stove right beneath the burner and above the adjuster. Please donât use regular windscreens that encompass the entire unit, they'll trap and reflect heat back at the fuel canister causing it to heat up which is a BAD thing. Overall and excellent stove for one to two people but if youâre in a larger group or prefer not to use canisters, Iâd suggest the MSR whisperlite or simmerlite.
