Review on πŸ”₯ Iwatani 35FW Butane Stove: A Medium-Sized Metallic Cooking Solution by Sam Lund

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality portable oven made in Japan that will last for years

Super high heat output 15,000 BTU. highest BTU on the market for a portable oven of this size. I have a cheaper portable oven that I bought at local Asian stores for $20. I no longer use them after having a connection problem due to a gas cylinder that nearly exploded. The connection to the gas bottle is possible without any problems. it's part of the mind. The connection uses powerful magnets to connect the gas. that works great. I use them for hot pot, Korean BBQ, noodles, wok frying, hamburger cooking and outdoor cooking so I don't heat my house. So if you want a quality product made in Japan with high heat output, get this one. ***August 2020 Update*** After using this oven daily for 3 months I have identified 3 main issues with this product. 1. The gas cylinder cap is very thin as it does not prevent the gas cylinder from heating up to dangerous levels. If you are thinking of using this like a hot pot for a long period of time, be very careful.2. If the gas bottle overheats and you turn off the stove, the oven has a built-in safety mechanism that automatically releases the gas bottle. You cannot use the same gas tank again until it cools down. Therefore, if you plan to cook several dishes on the stove, you will not succeed. To get around this, I absolutely must have another gas canister on hand and be able to quickly plug it in while the first one cools down. So it's not really a problem I guess, but more of an inconvenience.3. The piezo ignition will not work if you plan to use it for a long period of time. What I mean is that the wire connected to the igniter next to the flame will eventually melt causing the igniter to stop working. They seem to be using some kind of high temperature silicone glue to put them together and that glue eventually melts. So if you turn on the igniter and don't see a spark, this could be the reason. Aside from the above 3 issues, I still enjoy the oven. If you cook something quickly and quickly. This oven is perfect. If you use it for longer cooking times, e.g. B. in the hot pot, Korean barbecue or in large quantities Takoyaki, you have to be prepared for the problems mentioned above.
