This stove weighed in at 10.4 oz on my home scale with the included case, which is a nice blaze orange. I spent an inordinate amount of time searching for a quality wide stove that had a remote locating fuel hose. This keeps everything low and helps prevent tipping. It also allows for the use of a wind barrier, which I don’t presently own

She folds up nice and tidy but it takes some practice getting the hose wrapped just right to slip back in the case. All three legs fold up under the stove and then rotate tight to the base to make it nice and compact.

The level of flame control is superb, especially for a stingy guy like me. I’m a rather thrifty person so I use my fuel sparingly. I’ve run about one 8 oz canister in my three trips. with the dial knob you can run a nice simmer flame or a “roaring” blaze. I usually go for something in the middle.

As mentioned before, when I got into the field and started using the stove it’s built in striker was less than impressive. After spending some time at home bending the mounting bracket I was able to achieve 100% operation. I always bring matches and a lighter for making fires, and it helps as a backup.

I have three trips under my belt with this stove and I will gladly admit it is fantastic. I’ve prepared ramen, dehydrated camp meals, eggs, oatmeal, hot grape nuts, soup, and I’m sure a few more things I can’t even remember. I pack pretty light when I go out,  and the stove usually cooks either a hot breakfast or hot dinner.

I bought the stove on amazon, but it is currently unavailable. Thems the breaks kid. “Fire-Maple Fms-105 Portable Camping Stove with Piezo Ignition”
