Giga Powered Tea Time, Alright!

By Ranked #745 - Canister Stoves May 14, 2007

I haven't been able to get out for more then a few hours a day so there's been no chance, so far, to really give this fine stove a thorough abusing in the wilds. However, everyday on the mountain out back it has served rather well for making afternoon tea and a boil in bag meal or two. This thing is the fastest stove I've tried yet, boiling water before I even have the chance to start my stopwatch. It feels like it takes somewhere around 3 minutes to boil 3 cups O' Natures Finest Runoff, which is somewhere in the mid 40's up on the mountain, when you can find it, I do live in the Southwest you know.

There's really nothing to it. Not much fiddling at all. All you have to do is screw the stove onto a canister, making sure the valve is closed at first, open the valve a touch and spark the piezo igniter and 3-4 minutes later you got yourself some nice boiling water for tea or a ziplock gourmet. So this little wonder does it's job well. Of course it needs to be thoroughly tested to gain that much coveted 5th star rating, but so far it looks like it just might be able to.
