SOTO WindMaster w/Micro Regulator and 4Flex (One Size) - Backpacking Stove - Isobutane/Propane - Gas Powered

Soto Windmaster is possibly the best backpacking stove on the market. It’s not the lightest buy it works well in wind, heats water fast, is reliable and packs up small. It’s become my go to stove other than when I use my Fire Maple Petrel G3 and stove which is also good - I mainly use this with the French Press Fire Maple sells as it is about the best lightweight cup of real coffee you can make when backpacking. Soto products are quality though, and I recommend this stove.

Im Einsatz, funktioniert super. Die Zündung hat mich in den letzten zwei Monaten nicht im Stich gelassen, der Topf steht stabil drauf, das Packmaß ist klein, er ist leicht und auch bei etwas Wind bleibt die Flamme bestehen. Nicht der günstigste aber ich würd ihn - nach aktuellem Stand - wieder kaufen.

I've now taken this stove on a couple backpacking trips, so I now have about three weeks of experience in the outdoors with it. I've only used it with the wide pot base (which I just leave on the stove body - fits in the storage pouch just fine). The design does help with operation in windy conditions, has a very good boil time and can be used to simmer food (mostly used to boil water for rehydrating food and making a morning coffee, but have also cooked eggs without burning). Very happy with the purchase.

Great little stove, with a useful packable pot stand. Heat output is excellent.

I own almost ten of this type of burner. Rather than bash them, here is why this is THE one you should buy:1. Efficient - I weigh fuel canisters before and after a trip, making notes of how many meals I got out of it. This stove is about 20% more efficient than every other one I used to use -- more so if you have a heat exchanger on your cookware.2. Stability - you can use really small or pretty large containers without fear of them falling off. The arms adjust from small to wide.3. Stability 2 - with four arms rather than 3, you'll be more comfortable that your food won't boil over and land on the ground4. packed size - the arms are separate, making it easy to pack this stove small5. Wind resistant - it really does a good job in crosswinds6. Piezeo lighter - look, I can't see a reason why a company would NOT have a spark-generating feature on these stoves. None. Who wants to mess around having to look for a lighter? Who wants to put their hand near the ignition? Again, none people.7. Burner size - the wider diameter burner element heats more surface area faster, which cooks faster and allows you to use less fuel.8. Threads - the threads and gasket on them are beefy and provide more peace of mind in terms of holding the weight of your food. I've had cheaper ones strip and tilt over.9. Reasonably light. No, it's not titanium, but it's light for the features.10. Regulator - very wide range and precision-crafted. No zero to 100 with a millimeter of a bump. You have control over your flame.The SOTO product line is solid and reliable for outdoor adventures. It's not as expensive as other brands, I it's reliable, studurdy and efficient. Stop buying $25 versions that break. Just buy this one and be done.
