Brunton Vapor All-Fuel Stove

Fuel line leaked

By Ranked #572 - Stoves March 5, 2009

I've been looking for a stove with three features: 1: liquid fuel, 2: good flame control, and 3: quiet. This did not exist last year so I bought this stove knowing it would not be quite.

I used it on several trips, including 2 weeks of kayaking, always with white gas. Performs about as expected I expected: loud, very good flame control, and reasonably efficient.

I'm not a fan of multi-fuel stoves. I have a light canister stove for when I want that. I don't know if any efficiency is lost to accommodate multi-fuel. I do know that attaching the stove to the pump is fussy.

The jet did clog and required cleaning. The tool was somewhat fussy to use. Recently the fine cleaning wire broke, leaving me with no cleaning tool. Replacements are not readily available.

Finally, a swivel joint in the fuel line started leaking. The included tool did not have a socket to fit the joint's nut. I did not investigate further: average performer, somewhat fussy, unreliable fuel line. I returned it to REI.
