Key Features

  • FOR BEST PERFORMANCE: Our WindMaster Canister backpacking stove's regulator is compatible with gas mixtures such as butane, isobutane, and propane. The use of 100% propane is prohibited. Keep the base clean and avoid placing it on the ground or in a sandy area. Always keep the plastic cap on the gas canister when not in use, during transport, and/or when stowing the stove. This is important in order to keep the valve system clean.
  • SHOCK RESISTANT & ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT: The stealth igniter installed burner post improves ignition and prevents breakage, making our camping stove compact and lightweight. Due to the simple, unique design, our backpacking stove weighs only 67 g / 2.3 oz. making it easy to pack with your camping supplies or essentials.
  • MAINTAINS A CONSISTENT OUTPUT: Maintains consistent heat or output in windy weather or even in cold or gusty conditions. Our mini camping stove can boil 2 cups of water in under 2-1/2 minutes, helping you cook quickly with your camping cooking set when outdoors.
  • EFFICIENT & SPECIALLY DESIGN: The pot placed close to the flame plus the concave design of the burner head creates the effect of a built-in windscreen increasing the efficiency of fuel consumption and makes it a reliable choice among portable camping stoves or can be used as an emergency stoves.
  • STABLE & LARGE POT SUPPORTED: Our camping stove kit includes the 4Flex that supports and holds larger cookware or large size pots securely. It can also be paired with our WindMaster TriFlex (sold separately) for smaller pots, giving versatility for camp stoves or camping cooking stoves.
  • COMPACT & PORTABLE SPECS FOR BACKPACKING: Output: 2800 kcal/h / 3260W / 11000 BTU. Burns approx. 1.5 hours with an 8 oz. (250g) canister, making it ideal for camping backpacking stoves and other lightweight camping equipment.

I love my Soto windmaster. It’s a lot heavier at 67g but its construction and build quality is far more confidence inspiring than the brs. Also its more efficient so you could theoretically get away with bringing less fuel

Soto Windmaster is $70 to save 20g. That doesn't seem like a good $/g tradeoff. I need to weigh the actual lighter I use, which I haven't done. The weight posted was an estimate. No bidet. Perhaps I will go that route in the future, but right now I am just not comfortable with the idea.
