Great in the cold; Not so good in the wind

Snow Peak GigaPower Stove Auto Ignition

Rating for this product: 2 May 29, 2007

I purchased this little stove after reading so many great reviews. Then I took it on a backpacking trip and quickly discovered this stove totally sucks in the wind. We had a light consistent wind (prob 7-10 mph) and the stove just didn't like it. It kept blowing out. At least the Piezo igniter got things going quickly again but without a windscreen be prepared to be frustrated in any wind over 5mph. This stove did light up quickly in the morning at 25 F though even after leaving the canister out all night.
