Review on SOTO Amicus Stove Igniter River by Jim Dahl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Take Soto, it's a great oven at a reasonable price.

If you're looking for a quality gas burner, check out this one. Soto is a relatively new company in the US market, but its products are top notch compared to competitors in this market segment. The MSR Rocket2 Pocket Oven is very popular but to be honest I have both and I think this is a higher quality oven. I have many different stoves, I liked the original pocket rocket but you can't find it anymore. I really think it's the best design, love that it has 4 legs instead of 3, it has brass for the canister connection instead of aluminum, the design is also very cool because of the spring loaded levers. If you are looking for a quality canister stove and not cheap imitations, then Amicus is the best bang for your buck. This is the one I would take into the deep woods as opposed to the cheap ones that are sold. I also have the one with the lighter on the side and both fit me well.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
