Ultralight Hiking Stove

If you're an ultralight hiker and want a stove that weighs next to nothing (just over 1 ounce with case), this one is perfect for your needs. This Gas One GS-7900 looks like a copy of the BRS 3000 with a few subtle differences including a handy little plastic case for protection in storage. The stove heats water very well, but you need to take fuel with you. I've found this to work with both butane and propane tanks, but you will need a transfer valve to connect to the propane tank. The function is very simple, you just screw it onto the fuel can, turn the gas valve knob and light it up. It produces a decent flame for such a small stove, but I've found that at lower levels the flame doesn't always last for cooking or keeping food warm. You'll need to protect it from the wind if you're using a low flame, but it burns very well at higher levels. Cup without the use of additional support. Even with a small pot, you need to be very careful when placing it as it is not very stable. I would happily carry an ounce more if it had 4 legs instead of 3 and the platform diameter was an inch larger. But if you're heating everything in a metal mug, then this is the perfect solution. Depending on the length of your trek you may need to carry extra canisters but on a recent trip where two of us heated food/water about twice a day a small 230g can of butane mix lasted about 4-5 days. This burn time is highly dependent on factors such as ambient temperature, altitude, wind, type of food, size of cookware and gas efficiency. Solo traveler but may not be the best choice for everyone depending on travel or cooking schedule.

Pros
  • Camping & Hiking
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
