Innovative design but broke for me
5 years ago
The good: Innovative design gives a nice stable platform for cooking. This puts out some good heat for a quick boil but also allows for a nice low simmer as well so you don't scorch your grub with excessive heat. It packs up compactly for a stove of this size. The bad: took this on a four-day backpacking trip and it broke on day two. When I tried to unscrew the fuel arm from the stove, the entire fuel arm broke at the vents. This looks like a major design flaw to me. There isn't enough material left at the vents so the fuel arm is structurally compromised. The ugly: Snow Peak wouldn't repair under warranty stating "Like with vehicles, warranties cover manufacturer defects, not user error."

A stove in class of it’s own
6 years ago
Bottom line, if you are backpacking in a group of about four or more, this stove is the only way to go. It has proven to be the ideal solution for my family of six in the backcountry. 1) Wide and sturdy support arms that handle real pots and pans. 2) Unrivaled stability; most BP stoves are at constant risk of tipping, but the Snow Peak bipod is solid as... well, a pyramid. 3) Respectable burner control, yes you can do more than boil water. 4) super light for all its capability. 5) design and build quality approaching perfection. In a field of itty-bitty pocket stoves and one-person canister systems, Snow Peak provides the one option that doesn’t compromise.

Great mix of function and small size
5 years ago
This is a genius mix of many features important to me. Not the smallest, or lightest, but full of function. The legs adjust in length for two sizes of fuel canister, and even smaller for storage. It has a low center of gravity so a 2.4L pot full of liquid doesn’t make me nervous. Best of all, the 4 pot supports are long and short enough to accommodate a small espresso pot to an 8-10 inch fry pan. It is user friendly and easy to set up. Comes with a sparker. I only wish it had a bit of a windscreen for the gas jets. I have only used it for boiling water, but other reviews state it has good flame control.

My Favorite Stove
8 years ago
I've used this stove for car camping, about 30 days. It's small enough and light enough to also an excellent backpacking stove. I've owned and used 8 different small stoves (liquid fuel & canister), and was seeking a stove with more stability, good pot support, and ease of use. After a 30 day trip in the Southwest, I'm very pleased with my BiPod stove. It's fun to use and very dependable. I used a small diameter cord to attach the sparker to the ring on the fuel tube, so the sparker does not get lost. Other users report the stove simmers well, and I find that to be true--if I'm boiling water or cooking something like soup. I have to be very, very careful with the burner setting if I am frying something, my only problem with my favorite stove.

At last stability in a cartridge stove
5 years ago
Always been disappointed with the stability of canister stoves and when you use the larger/taller canisters it gets worse and makes using a windscreen impossible unless you have a super tall one which catches more wind usually blowing it over. Very good at simmering and boil time is good too. Lab boil times don’t take in account the wind stripping away the BTU’s l, this stove is so close to the ground and easily shielded, a necessity in the windy canyon country we love so much! Don’t need the standalone sparker, it is a one purpose item, a lighter has more applications so already carry one of those.

excellent compact and stable stove
1 year ago
i used to bring a dual burner eureka stove for car camping, but it was honestly overkill. i was eyeing the jetboil for a while, but didn’t like its top heavy design. it just seemed precarious. when i found this stove, it checked all the boxes. stable, small, compact, easy to use, and smart design. i have to say this stove is perfect for solo camping and minimal cooking. i can balance a big pot of water in my gsi haulite pot and it’s so solid. only surprise was that the legs on their longest setting really only fit the tiny iso canisters. not the large green coleman ones. but that’s ok, i didn’t want to bring large canisters and i feel confident setting it up on a variety of surfaces

Game changer!
3 years ago
This stove does it all: it's lightweight, super-stable (I've never liked the canister stoves that look like they're about to dump your dinner over), easy to start (no priming/fireballs!), fuel-efficient and it simmers absolutely beautifully, so you can cook great food on it and not just boil water. If you like to cook nice camp food but don't want to carry a heavy beast of a stove, this is a terrific choice

Been looking for this stove for many years

Best stove ever, it has it all! Small, lightweight, extremely stable, and a wonderfully wide base for your pot. As an added bonus this is the first stove that I've found that truly has a simmer mode. I strongly recommend this one and I don't do that very often.

Great for broad based pots
5 years ago
I cook a lot in the field, and dread the “tippy” stove on top of a gas canister. This light and packable item solved this problem. Note that the adjustable legs will fit the two smaller sizes of canisters, but are too short for the largest size.
