GSI Outdoors  Pinnacle Canister Stove

I had a JetBoil Sumo and the spark igniter stopped working on the first backpacking trip. no big deal. But then the jets got clogged after a few years and it wouldn't stay lit. After taking it apart cleaning it still wouldn't work and some guy posted a video of cutting open this side part to fix it etc... so forget it and I bought another jet boil but it was lopsided and wobbly, I never lit it. My other GSI products have always been great and this one is built tough, doesn't wobble with a larger pot o water, has great heat control and you can use it with any type of pan or backpacking pots. Save your $ and get this one not a JetBoil, it'll last and GSI stands by their products.

Simple, easy no frills backpacking stove. Exactly the reason why I got it for my 24 hr bag for our teams. Extremely light weight, simply carry a small canister and an ignition source and your in business. Wither it’s providing hot beverages for subjects during recovery operations or warming up water for a nice warm meal this will get it done. It’s not as quick to boil as a jet boil style stove but come in several ounces lighter for longer trips. Highly recommended for keeping it light while providing additional capability.

Excellent and very small stove for motocamping or backpacking. The adjustment works well, but is in a quarter of a turn from wide open to off. This is spelled out in the instructions. This packs very small. Does not have a self ignitor, but that would have made it bulkier. I didn't time how quick it heats up but it seemed on par with my brother's JetBoil. It definitly feels like high quality that will last.

This stove is great! Super adjustable heat for what it is. Also lightweight and easy to use as expected. One small quirk. The position that the fuel release folds down leaves the stove partially open. This lets fuel out if you try and store the stove on the fuel bottle. Although slightly annoying this is an easy fix if you just separate the stove and the bottle after each us.

I don't have a lot of experience with light stoves so nothing to compare it to. I purchased this stove for a 9 day gravel bike packing trip across Utah (Wild West Route). The stove performed flawlessly and the heat adjustment works great. The biggest benefit is how small and light this stove is. This is key for those looking for a minimalist great functioning stove.

This stove is so small and fits great in the included bag. The arms are pretty stable for how small they are and the mechanics feel solid. The only place to improve would be the valve. It is pretty weak and bent a little bit, but it works fine. Used for car camping 10-15 times.

I have been backpacking more and started bikepacking and packrafting (get the theme?). So, the problem I am trying to solve is space, weight and get the basic job done. Shooting for a 30lb gear footprint -- outside of bike, boat, pack--for 4-5 days . I also have a JetBoil which is a wonderful package but a bit bulky and a little overcomplicated for my bike pack setup which uses a frame bags that have limited width. GSI Pinnacle seemed like a good solution. Thus far I have taken it packrafting on the Green R and a solo low overhead car camping trip. Mostly water boiling or reheating a stew. Performance, setup and operation are a breeze. There is something wonderful about fewer options and small size. In many ways gear has gotten complicated, big and heavy separating me from the experience I am seeking. Overall I am super pleased and I see no reason why that would change given its simplicity and durability. Well done. PS I also bought their small pot squeegee. Another lovely device in a small package.

My first Canister stove, so I'm no expert, but the build and quality seem durable. It works just fine and packs up pretty small. I don't need to extend the lower legs for the pot or canteen cup I have, and as long as its on a level surface, the pot holds steady on top.

This stove is very lightweight and packs down small. I can fit this, a mini-bic, small towel, and a fuel canister inside my 750ml cook pot, for a nice compact cook system. I’ve used it on 300 miles of trail so far and it works great!

This was awesome for backpacking and way better than carrying something bigger. Notes to the user - test out the balance before lighting and make sure you twist it on super tight to the gas canister. And remember a lighter/match.
