canister fuel Hiking Stove

Canister fuel stoves are easy to use and run on pre-pressurized gas.   After attaching the burner element to the top of the cannister of fuel you're ablet to simply turn the valve on and light the burner.  Match lighting is a common method but the push-button piezo igniters offer a bit more convenience instead of digging around in your pack to find the container of matches.


Pros:

  • Ease of use
  • Maximum heat at lighting
  • Doesn't require priming
  • Burns cleanly
  • No messy fuel spils

Cons:

  • Cold weather = poor performance
  • Fuel is more expensive
  • Last burn not as hot as first burn
  • Smaller base must be stabilized
