Snowpeak Home & Camp Burner

[Beowulf]

Snow peak has come out with a new to me camp stove. The Home & Camp burner seems to pack small and set up quickly.

I have one on order and will test it out. Hopefully it has nice simmer control and high full blast heat.

Price = $109

They had the instructions in English, the Japanese just looks cooler

Fresh out of the box.

Dang, that's compact. Want.

Had to test it for my son. Flame is medium-ish. Simmer is fantastic. Full blast is crazy.

Now Time to pack it away.

I already use those fuel canister in a grill and a single burner setup so I really want a couple of these as a much more compact setup.
Very cool and I am looking forward to some thoughts after real life use.

That's the appeal for me as well, Lance. (Although I will still keep at least one burner as a "dual fuel" with Propane backup.)

How does the cost of butane cartridges compare to white gas or propane?

 

[Beowulf]

If you buy a case of the Kovea Iso-butane Aerosol canisters, you can get them down to $2 bucks a can.

How long will one last on a continuous burn? Realizing that cooking is an off and on situation.
I use propane, have an 11 pound tank that I have had in use for about 6 camping adventures cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner at least, still 1/2 full and costs about $11 to fill. It is not disposable like the tiny tanks in this cooker.

The snow peak site says 110minutes of use. Don’t know if that is on high or low. I’m guessing high.

For us, one canister is usually good for more than one weekend (typically coffee + one or two meals per day), and the small nature of the container makes it easy to always have a spare canister or two on-hand, so I just use the previous canister until it runs out and swap out. I use butane as my primary fuel (and usually carry two butane stoves, which means I always have two "partly-used" canisters going at a time), but I often have either a propane skottle or campfire/coals for dutch oven cooking.

If I were doing 100% cooking on butane (especially high-heat or long-cook operations), I'd feel safest with at least 2 fresh canisters plus the partially-used canisters for a 3-4 day trip.

I buy the canisters from my local asian market, so they're cheap and usually off-brand. Haven't seen any advantage to the "name brand" fuel canisters from sporting goods stores, etc.
