What reviewers say

OutdoorGearLab names it the stove it recommends for most campers and gave it an Editors' Choice award, with top marks for simmering and boil time. Switchback Travel and CleverHiker also rate its simmer control highly, and testers credit it with good wind resistance. The downsides are weight, bulk and price, and OutdoorGearLab scored its fuel efficiency as average. Everyone agrees it is a car-camping stove, not one you carry far.

Good

  • Excellent low simmer
  • Big cooking surface for two pans

Not so good

  • Heavy and bulky
  • Average fuel efficiency
  • Costs more than basic two-burners

Who it's for

Families and groups who cook real meals at a campsite or tailgate. Backpackers and anyone on a tight budget should look elsewhere.
