Snow Peak Addiction

[Dave Bennett]

I originally planned to machine several and then sell them. But to be honest I assumed there just weren't very many if any folks that were using the GigaPower LI Stove that would want bulk propane adaptability.

At full bore 34,000btu it doesn't take too long to burn through a ~450g canister hence my desire to utilize bulk propane. So far it has functioned as expected on 100% bulk propane. If there is interest I can figure out a cost...

Want! PM sent!

Has anyone used their Giga Torch upside down yet? If so, what gas are you using? Package says it should work, but it goes out on me. Using a MSR canister.

Yes, you have to turn the gas so that its on as low as possible until it heats up or else it just puts out the flame with too much gas. I have been using the giga power gas.

Found some 12" Snow Peak tent stakes at Cabela's for $9 a pop vs. $14 for a Cabela's 6-pack. Hope they're worth it!

I made up a few adapters to convert the Snowpeak GS1000 stove to propane. $42 + $10 USPS. Essentially a 2' hp hose with 1/4"FNPT on one end and the special threaded fitting on the other. Ideally needs to be used with an adjustable regulator at ~ 75psi.

PM me if interested.

I got spressomon's bulk adapter but have not been able to use it as the GS1000 is on backorder. I ended up getting a Baja Burner in the meantime and the adapter works with it as well. Any recommendations on pressure regulation? I found a 1-60PSI unit I'm currently using.

Looks like the Iron Grill Top Table.

How do you like it?

Does the Snow Peak Titanium Straw come enclosed within a Pelican case? :elkgrin:

Who's going to be the first person in this thread to get one of them straws?

I suffer from SnowPeak envy..

:drool:

Yeah that!
This stuff is PRICEY!

 

[Ozrockrat]

Yeah again pricey but very useful!

I only have 1 Snow Peak item and its the chopsticks, I travel with them so that I do not have to use the suspect ones supplied by the street vendors in 3rd world countries (reused disposable ones or suspect cleaned ones).

The straw fits into my thinking. One of the potential places to pickup stomach bugs is drinking from cans or bottles that have been in icy water. The ice is made from local water and is contaminated. Beverage inside is fine but you cannot clean either the top of the can or the top of the bottle so you always use a straw. This would solve the problem of carrying dozens of disposable straws (always grab the sealed single issue ones form some generic "MacDonalds, KFC" in country.

So for $15 if it even saves on dose of deli belly I think its a bargain.

And it would keep some plastic out of the landfills.

I have a lot of Snowpeak backpacking stuff (titanium stoves, pots, etc.) Their "luxury camping" line is just too expensive and bulky for my needs, however.

Picked up a pair of 450 mugs on sale yesterday to compliment my coffee press.
