It’s tempting to skip reading the manual and figure out things yourself but when it comes to camp stoves especially the Cassette Cooker, it pays to at least read the parts that concern safety. Just recently, an apartment in Toronto went up in flames injuring two people as a result of improper use of the [...]
MSR is the maker of some of the world’s most popular camp stoves. They’ve gone a long way since the 1972 Model 9. And here are the 3 latest stoves from MSR: WhisperLite Universal Most used by large groups and in mountain expeditions, the new WhisperLite has an improved pot support system with a larger [...]
The Flat Cat Alcohol Stove has an interesting design. It has fins on the inside which makes it more fuel efficient the closer the pot is to the stove. It also has a low profile and so a short windscreen can be used which is light and easy to store. The windscreen is made from 6061-T6 [...]
Fans of the original Jetboil Personal Cooking System (PCS) appreciate the super quick boil times, the compact package and the barely noticeable weight of the stove. The new Jetboil Sol camping stove is even better. The Sol uses Jetboil’s new Thermo-Regulate burner technology that allows “consistent heat output down to 15ºF. There’s also the familiar push [...]

You might be familiar with it because it’s a very popular stove that’s lightweight, compact and boils water [...]

The Fire Place by the Design Nothing group replaces traditional sticks with electric ones. I don’t have much information about the Fire Place but it looks like all you have to do to use it is to cross the sticks and press a button. You can you it as a camp stove and maybe as [...]
Forget the camp stove or the camping grill. If you want a quick meal in the outdoors, nothing makes a meal quicker than a microwave oven. The WaveBox is the world’s first portable microwave oven and it’s all about cooking, convenience and freedom. I’m not sure about the freedom part because it requires an electrical [...]
This was an entry for the James Dyson Award by a German student. The Zundstoff Flexbag is a flexible fuel bottle that adapts to amount of fuel it is storing. Fuel bottles are normally rigid metal bottles with a fixed volume and hence take the same amount of space of space in your backpack whether [...]
The Stove-Seat is a combination of a camp stove and a seat (now isn’t that obvious). Designed by Youngsak and Yoonsang Kim, unfortunately the Stove-Seat seems to me like a Fail design. While multi-functional camping gear are supposed to keep down your pack weight by reducing the amount of gear you need to carry, the [...]
