How to Choose a Backpacking Stove

When one-pot cooking is on the menu, the tiny-but-mighty Soto Regulator stove keeps hungry hikers from becoming hangry hikers with consistent heat output and a stable base that supports a larger pot.

At last REI is carrying the world-famous Soto 310! Great for larger pots/pans as described. Sooo many accessories available for it. (Are you listening, REI?) The legs do get very hot with use and the ignitor button is a bit far in, but for less than $25 you can fix both of those problems AND add a case, and you'll still come out much cheaper and lighter than the Snowpeak home and camp burner, which I leave at home for emergencies. The Soto packs smaller and is light enough to pack in if you need to cook for a large group. Works great for fish fries.
