Hiking & Camping > Stoves & FuelRated: **** by 5 reviews.

REI (2009) (closeout)

Weighing in at 5 ounces, the Brunton Raptor canister stove with piezo-igniter is a lightweight trail companion that's easy on the budget. It's a great choice for backpackers and campers.

  • Stove folds down to 2.5 x 1.7 x 1.5 in. for compact storage
  • Compatible with butane fuel canisters (sold separately)
  • Overstock

Hot lil stove

Rating:****
This is a perfect, small, efficient stove. Wish I had something like this back when I lead a scout troup on week long canoe trips every summer.
-I like the stability of the pot supports. Some other designs allow the pot to slide around. This one has little teeth that grip the pot bottom. Also, the supports don't rotate like some other designs do.
-It is best used with small diameter pots because the burner is small. Plenty of heat, but small.
-I use mine with the "Soloist" cook set and it fits perfect. Also, stores inside the cook set along with a can of butane. Packs the whole kitchen in a 5" X 5" space.

Very light and compact

Rating:****
I recently used this product for a backpacking trip to Yosemite. This is my first backpacking stove so I don't have much to compare against. I was quite impressed by how lightweight and compact it was. It is also pretty easy to use. The temperature control is a little confusing since it doesn't indicate which direction to turn it. If there's background noise where you are at, then it would be hard for you to detect the sound of the fuel being let out.

great for my first stove

Rating:****
this was a great stove at a great price. it preformed beautifully at 9000 feet. this was a gift and i was a little concerned about this stove after reading other reviews but the stove i received worked flawless. I set up the stove, cut on the gas(snow peak) and pushed the lighter once and it lit without hesitation. had my water boiling in just a few minutes and food in my mouth in under 10 minutes. so far so good.

very happy

Rating:*****
I picked this up from Rei-outlet for [$] a couple months ago. Great burner. Heats up water very quickly. I only used it at about 8500 feet so I'm not sure how it does at high altitude, but in general it works great. Lights with the click of a button (literally). I would have been happy with this paying full price.

Negative Reviews:

Too Tippy

Rating:**
SO I read the reviews, was really excited, and got this online. Got it home and put my soloist pot on it, and guess what. This thing is really tippy. Not the base etc, but for the pot. it would dump water when I am tired, and doesnt grip as I had hoped. It may be a feature of all those that have 3 arms, but this one seems that the angles or something make it unstable. The 4 arm snowpeak (more $) that I was comparing it to is much better. It grips the pot, and the pot isnt tippy on it. This one's going back to the store, and I am staying with the SP.
