Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

I consider myself a comfortable minimalist...this stove fits my backing style to a tee. It's not only lightweight, but super easy to use. If I were doing a extended hike I would take my Vargo Triad alcohol stove, but for day hikes to week long trips, this stove is excellent! Bought the windscreen made for it, works great as well!

Bought this stove for our last camping trip, and couldn't be happier with it. It's light weight, portability and ease of use make this a great stove for the money.

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

I found this stove to be quite perfect. I purchased the small wind screen at the store, and when together, they work perfectly- no issues, boils, simmers, etc. No frills, just a compact basic stove. I like I can use my own cookware on it, and I love how small and light it folds up. My one issue isn't even an issue yet. The self ignitor still works great for me, but I know two other people with this stove, and theirs has already bent and no longer works.

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

This stove is fantanstic. Light weight and sturdy and works as it has been advertised. Eventhough my first stove lacked the holding container, REI let me return it for a new no problem. Great customer service. I used the stove in the cities in the park, in my backyard and in the woods and it works great. Like many canister stoves it had a bit of difficulty in the cold of a Minnesota winter. I need to get a wind screen for it, but the windscreen from snow peak is stainless steel. I'll look for some ideas.

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

This stove is well worth the price. It performs well in most temperatures, (down to about 10f) and is very fuel efficient. I can boil 16oz of water in about 5min and use only 11g of fuel. The electronic ignition can be sketchy at times, but over all it is really nice to have. The four points of contact make this the most stable backpacking burner I have ever seen. The only real "problem" is the plastic case thet the burner is stored in. The case is really designed to fit the stove without the igniter, so the one with it is a tight fit. I wouldn't really call this a deal breaker, just an oversight by Snow Peak. Some people say this stove is hard to adjust...whatever! Is has plenty of adjustment, everything from full on boil to bare simmer. This is the burner to get.

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

I have several stoves, and these are my favorite (have 3). The piezo is worth it; easy to light and use. Temperature control at simmer is difficult on nearly all stoves, gas or liquid fuel, but with a light touch, you can set this one on a very low burn (and if you adjust too low and it flames out, just snap the piezo and restart in a jiffy). If only someone could come up with a refillable fuel canister and safe refill stations at outdoors stores!

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

This was a birthday present last year. I've used it on every trip since.

The JetBoil is faster at boiling water (only by a minute or two), but this setup is more versatile. As long as you pay attention to the surfaces you're placing the canister on (make sure they are flat), and you're not putting too large a pot on top of it, this is a pretty stable stove.

If you need more than boiling water for cooking, I've never experienced a better product.

Comments about Snow Peak GigaPower Stove with Piezo:

I love this little guy. We bought this based on a recommendation from an REI team member who said it is stable, reliable and easy to use. It definitely delivered on all fronts!

I used this with the GSI Outdoors Dualist cook set pot, mostly just to boil water but I did cook spaghetti with this one night of our trip. The pot was full (with enough water to cook 1 lb of spaghetti!), and even with a full pot and stirring the noodles, the stove was level & stable.
The heat adjuster works great; I was able to bring the water to a boil and then adjust to maintain a simmer to cook the noodles.
I was really impressed at how quickly this stove boils water. I haven't used another camp stove before so I have nothing to really compare this to, but it seems very fast and fuel efficient.

The only thing that would make this better is if I bought & used the windscreen with it. It took FOREVER to boil a couple cups of water during a windy day. But that's to be expected and is not really a fault of the stove (that's why they sell windscreens!) so it still gets 5 stars from me.
