Snow Peak GigaPower Stove Manual Ignition

Snow Peak GigaPower Stove Manual Ignition description

Snowpeak GigaPower Stove with manual ignition is an incredibly small, lightweight, and convenient canister stove. This powerful little stove weighs just 3.25 oz but produces 10,000 BTUs (most camping stoves are 8-9,000 BTUs). Use this backpacking stove with Snow Peak fuel in temperatures as low as 14F (-10 C). The Snow Peak GigaPower Stove is designed to stow with a fuel canister in a Snowpeak Solo Combo Cook Set. The GigaPower backpacking stove burns 45 minutes at maximum gas output (10,000 BTUs) with the GP-110 fuel canister. This lightweight, compact camping/backpacking stove comes in a high-quality plastic carrying case. Also available in a titanium version (our item no. SNO0004). **DOES NOT INCLUDE FUEL CANISTER.

Bottom Line: Smaller than other stoves but works harder when it comes to heat output.

Been checking out canister stoves in REI for awhile and finally decided to order GigaPower from Backcountry. It was either this one or MSR's Pocketrocket. Something about the look of this stove really caught my eye. Works great in no wind, but not so great in any wind. I really recommend getting a windscreen to be happy with this stove. Also, forget about auto-ignite...the feature weighs as much as a book of matches and matches are far more reliable.

Every time I pull this stove out of my backpack, it amazes those who haven't seen it. It is so light and small, it is almost unbelievable how hot it gets. While you do have some control over the flame intensity, I've found it's difficult to achieve lower temperatures with the GigaPower stove. Also, its small footprint offers plenty of stability for my smaller cooksets, but I have tried larger frying pans on it while making fish and pancakes and things get a little wobbly.
