Camp stove

[cow-puncher]

Not sure if this is the right spot for this.
I am looking for a camp stove to put in my pack while hunting. I am looking at the Etekcity stove. It seems good but i am looking for recommendations from people who have used one lots.
Thanks

Jet boil, all in one thats all you will need

Soto windmaster and any 800 ml titanium or aluminum pot.
Gives you enough water for a mountain house and a cup of coffee or tea.
And half the weight of a jetboil.
Mine never leaves my pack.

I use those cheap small stoves for my Outdoor Education students. They work great and for the price, they can’t be beat. I personally use a jet-boil because I love how everything just fits together. Nothing better than boiling water for coffee and just grabbing the whole unit and pouring a cup. So stable on rocks and quick to boil. 15 seconds and it’s all packed away, ready to move on.

Jetboil!

Jetboil is all you need

I have a MSR and it's a great little stove also.

Not so sure that is the lightest option.
A whisperlite is getting 136 min per 20oz of fuel.
A Soto is getting 135 min on 21oz of fuel including canisters.
A Soto is 2.5 oz and whisperlite is 11.5oz

Jetboil flash is very similar specs but is 13 oz.

Unless you are in extreme cold where the liquid gas stove has the advantage there is Lighter options.

Ya, I am one of the whisperlite fans and I am still considering getting a small canister stove to use for 2-3 day solo overnights or packing for daytrips were I want to have a coffee in the woods.

From my limited experience with them, I wouldn't bother. We purchased 3 to experiment with and eventually put in vehicle emergency kits. They seemed poorly made, but cheap and light, so worth trying... 1 of the 3 had a bad leak and was a blowtorch/rocket out the side. Fairly dangerous.

I'd stick with a quality brand name personally. It's not worth saving a couple bucks on gear, to potentially have reliability issues in the backcountry. I've used MSR and SOTO for years and their products have always performed well and been dependable. If there is ever a problem, MSR parts in particular are everywhere.

As others have mentioned, fuel consumption and weight become a factor on longer trips. One worthwhile upgrade to a backpack kitchen is a heat exchanger style pot or kettle. Much better efficiency, IME.

If you aren't in a rush, the Chapel will get a lot of various styles...

Because it is a seasonal item, we only had 5 at the last sale...Nothing over $10 at that sale.
