Snow Peak GigaPower BF Stove
Stable and Efficient
By Peter Burke
Ranked #808 - Canister Stoves
January 15, 2009
I used to cook on the generic GAZ stoves, but it was getting harder and harder to find the fuel for those. Last summer I took this stove on the Muir Trail, cooking for three for 18 days. It used up about 1 of the smaller gas canisters every 2 days, cooking for breakfast and supper. I liked the fact that the canister is remote and the center of gravity of the pot stays low - no more tipped over food! The ignition on it was quite useless, and I only consider it a backup in case our lighter didn't make it. I also felt that the hose to the remote canister was rather stiff, trying to tip the stove unit when only a light pot was on it. With some twisting this was usually fixed. Easy to store inside my titanium pot - light weight, worked like a charm on high and simmer mode. I'll take it on my next large hike.
