Compact Backpacking and Camping Stove Review
The Mountain Gazette posted a, thankfully, short compact backpacking stove review last month.
The article covers stoves from Coleman, MSR, Primus, and Vargo plus an alcohol burner from Brasslite and a modular system by Jetboil - all in about 4 screens worth of article. Instead of pages of opinion from multiple reviewers and charts of comparison data, Mountain Gazette found that all the stoves are very similar in capability and no one stove is set apart from the others. The few differences are mostly limited to pot supports, wind resistance, canister compatibillity/availability and price - with no one stove having the best of all four. If you’re in the market for a stove take a read of the article and don’t worry so much about the “perfect” stove. From the looks of it they’re all pretty good.
