Snow Peak
What kind of Backpacking Stove is a good stove?
I need to know what kind of backpacking stove is good, light, and pretty cheap.
Are these 2 good stoves? Brunton TALON Compact Butane Stove
and the Snow Peak Giga Stove - Stainless Manual GS-100
-Thanks
For years I used a Coleman Peak One, small, Light Weight, and you can purchase fuel canisters almost anywhere. The problem with almost any stove is what kind of fuel to use and how much do I have to carry for each day.
I carry a Sierra Stove, made by ZZ Manufacturing, most of the time now, it weighs 7 ounces and burns twigs. It has a small two speed fan that forces air into a combustion chamber creating a miniature blast furnace, boils water as quick as a Propane Stove using a handful of twigs. You don't have to carry fuel and you don't have to worry about running out of fuel. The steel version, weighs 15 ounces, is $70 or $80. The titanium version, weighs 7 ounces, $130 or so.
The downside is your pots will get black and sooty because you are cooking on a fire. You need to put them in baggies before you put them in your backpack.
Over 35 years backpacking experince, more than a 1,000 nights in the back country.
