Ultralight Backpacking Butane/Propane Pocket Stove with Piezo Ignition Details: ULTRALIGHT at 3.9oz packed in case High quality construction! PIEZO ignition Adjustable flame Current price: $5.77 with FREE shipping LINK TO AMAZON SURVIVAL MONKEY AFFILIATE LINK FOR PURCHASE Durability: I have had this stove for quite a while now and I haven't had a problem. I have taken it out twice on hiking trips, used it several times each, and tested it at home quite a bit. I have to say, it is really sturdy. The metal of the stove (all of it is made of metal) is quite beefy, but it isn't terribly heavy, weighing in at under 4 oz. It folds up nicely and stored inside its case, which is a bonus so the parts do not get damaged with hiking. See pictures for more details. I compared this stove in size to the Coleman Max.
Kovea stoves has an adapter for these stoves that use the expensive lindal? valve type cannisters. Adapts the standard 1lb. cylinders that are available just about everywhere cheaper. Won't perform as well in extreme cold but way cheaper. If you're as cheap as I am another adapter will allow you to refill the 1lb. cylinders from a 20 or 30lb bottle. Use common sense and you're safe.
Yup, been refilling 1lb cylinders for about 15 yrs now. Don't know if the adapters are still sold, heard they were outlawed because they work I bleed my cylinders and put them in the fridge to chill a bit before I refill. Never had a problem.
They are easily available and cheap. They are not illegal, anywhere I know of. (If you bleed your 1lb tanks, make sure to weigh them for proper fill. If you do not bleed them, you can not overfill them. Propane Refill Adapter LP Gas 1 lb Cylinder Tank Coupler Heater Bottles Coleman | eBay
Nice review of a neat lil' stove. Here's a link to the manufacturer's website Kovea. if anyone want to check out their product line. Neat-o gadgetry abounds over there. There are no sales through their website, just info. The stove has 1,200 reviews on Amazon and it appears widely popular. For some reason my brain kept insisting it was Korea not Kovea . I have one of these, works like a charm and well worth it.
Not sure. I looked a few months ago, thinking to order a couple and it was not going to happen. They either were not shipping to Hawaii or the free shipping for the $5 stove was something like $30. Either way, I ended up not getting it. Forgot which scenario it was.
I just sent a package to bear. Cost me like three bucks and change. Is it heavy, flammable, or restricted? If not, send it to me for reshipping.
EXACTLY. There is more than one way ta skin that cat... For the record, I'm more than willing to do the same. "Will reship for Macadamia nuts..."
