Better than Pocket Rocket

Happens too much even with the MSR 1.5 litre pot, and much more with the 2 litre pot. With Snowpeak Gigapower my pots no longer sway or twist. Gigapower is also less tippy on uneven ground (approximately 2-3 times as stable as pocket rocket..." Read Full Review »

After cooking I removed the stove from the fuel can and the remaining contents of the fuel spilled everywhere.

"fantastic stove! Very small yet powerful and lit on the first piezo strike each time.



Fits very snugly with an MSR 113g canister into a GSI soloist kit. I also threw the Giga Power windscreen in the bottom of the Soloist. Fantastic compact kitchen! "

"I have used this stove when car-camping in the Panama City, Florida area and in the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska area. This is my first stove with a Piezo igniter, and it lit simply and quickly each time. Boiling times are fast--probably within a minute (at sea level) for 16 oz and a few minutes for 24 oz. …"  Read Full Review »
