Snow Peak GigaPower Stove Auto Ignition
Solid little tool

This little stove is fantastic, I got it because it's small and light for white water kayak trips and backpacking, in really cold weather I'd still rely on my white gas stove, but for most other situations this is great and so much easier and faster. It works great, is durable, and is very simple. Some people have lost the plastic button on the piezo lighter or had trouble with it lighting. I have been fine. With a light breeze (under 5 kts) at sea level, it boiled a 2 liter pot of water with a lid in 15 mins. Simmer worked great for prepping quesedillas as well. It says not to use a windscreen for fear of throwing too much heat onto the fuel tank. I use an MSR foil screen carefully, and not tight to the stove so heat can escape. I'd like to see a workable wind screen or heat reflector. Foil would be fine. Good solid little stove.
