GSI Outdoors  Glacier Camp Stove

Such an easy stove to set up and use. Man does it burn hot and fast!! It takes little fuel. We have now used the canister for three two-three day trips. Amazing!

After around 30 uses, the rubber lining that's part of the attachment to the fuel cannister is almost completely gone -- to the point that, last time I used it, the fuel began escaping through the connection and caught on fire. I managed to turn off the fuel valve before starting an explosion/forest fire, luckily. This issue isn't due to me over-tightening the stove/fuel connection: I tighten only to the point that the stove won't slowly unwind from the attachment/fuel cannister. And, I haven't had this issue with my other single-burner MSR stove -- though I've had it several years longer. Needless to say, I'm filling out a warranty form to GSI. I won't use this model even if they replace it -- too terrified. 0 stars.

Just came back from two days of car camping. I was trying to decide this or a $10 stove on Amazon. Glad I went with this! It’s an excellent, well built stove that worked flawlessly. Water boils in minutes and it is sturdy enough to hold a larger pan or pot. The only downside I can see is that it is a bit larger than other stoves but still very small and lightweight.

I bought this nifty stove right before heading out with buddies who had a full counter stove. Just to be safe... and it was great! It’s pretty susceptible to light breezes, unfortunately... but for $20, it’s worth seeking out a rock to hide it behind while it boils or cooks for you. I used it primarily for coffee, but I feel like it would be fine with a pan to make food- I found it very sturdy. Amazing price point. REI guy helping me said it can be used with any of the fuel mixes they sell.. pretty happy!

I've had this stove in use for almost 5 years. The size of the burner surface just barely fits inside my oversized ceramic camp cup, which is what I have used for UL backpacking. Eventually I'd like to get something even smaller, but one posiitive is that my aluminum cookware has no problem sitting on the stove so long as the fuel is on a level surface. I've read complaints about build quality. It felt solid to me.Mine didn't break, but eventually I lost the canister mount - the piece at the bottom with the turn handle. How can I get another one? Such a bummer

I've used this stove while car camping (don't use it in the car), while tent camping (don't use it in the tent) and while backpacking (don't use it in you backpack). It works really well and boils water very quickly. If you're into ulta-light backpacking gear you might want to look at other stoves but for tent, car and not-so-serious backpacking it's a great stove!!

This is a pretty good value stove for the money. Can't speak to it as a backpacking stove but for car camping or overlanding. It has done a pretty good job. With the smaller can of MSR fuel, I've gotten nearly 20 meals out of the fuel canister. The stove has a good size burner. my setup is a 10-in pan and it supports the pan a cup or two of water and 12 oz of meat and cooks everything relatively quickly. Cannot speak to it in terms of outdoor wind and cold exposure as I use it within a camper with no temperature or wind to affect the flame and heating etc. But for the money it's very hard to be beat imo.

I have a couple of similar stoves but this one caught my attention because of it's extra large burner. It spreads the heat much better than the smaller, lighter, burners. I sometimes cook for 3 or 4 people and need to use a larger pot. This stove is great for that. I plan to take this stove on short hikes and canoe trips. For long distance hikes, I will stick with a smaller lighter burner.

I bought this because it is cheaper and was within my budget at the time. I found that it was hard to control the flame and had to reignite my stove because I set it too low and would accidentally turn it off. It did it’s job and is worth the money. I will be purchasing a different one though for my next trip. One that folds, is light weight, and easier to control the intensity of the flame. I will keep this one handy as back up.

I just bought the small burner for a 10 day canoe trip down the Suwanee River starting in the Okefenokee swamp. Unfortunately, my pocket rocket is about five years old and I was looking for an alternative with a larger rack to balance pots and pans- so far the GSR has been great. I like the larger rack on top as I have dumped many a meal using my small pocket rocket -which was a great purchase too, but in practical terms. I’m not backpacking as much as I am car camping. I pretty much live in my tent. GSR is half the price. Sure the valve control is not as precise as the pocket rocket but it’s doable. No big deal. I’d recommend this for anyone who wants to use a small iron skillet, but not have the bulkiness of a full size propane burner. No more picking up my oatmeal off the ground. Thank you GSR I’m a frugal person, and once again found a way to “beat the man” the “propane man”.
