![]() So, which are the best remote canister stoves in the market? The remote canister stoves, though slightly heavier, offer improved cold-weather and low-fuel performance, along with better stability and cooking versatility. The success of the traditional, top-mounted canister stoves has led to the introduction of a new type of canister stoves in the market – the remote canister stoves. Nothing wrong with having a choice/collection.Īs for weight, something I'm not so impressed about with my Omnilite Ti is how much meths it needs to consume for priming due I feel to its lack of metal to hold any heat.In our article on the best canister stoves, we saw that Isobutane (or its variants) based canister stoves have become quite popular among hikers and backpackers because of their performance and clean, simple operation. When my FMS 117T finally arrives then I'll have a nice, light and stable canister stove but still have the Whisperlite if I need to pop down to Antarctica or (more likely) go travelling somewhere where canisters aren't readily available. It's heavier and more expensive than lots of canister stoves. But given that I already have a Whisperlite International it seemed pointless to buy the Universal just for the ability to use canisters. Just a reminder that some of the multi-fuel stoves can also take canisters.Īs a long time Whisperlite user I was quite excited when the Universal came out. ![]() Posts: 279 Joined: Thu 20 Mar, 2014 8:04 am Region: Western Australia Gender: Female Attachments ETA Pot 1L with MSR MicroRocket - <1cm overlap IMG_3953.JPG (71.93 KiB) Viewed 16704 times kitty Athrotaxis cupressoides Its fine on my other pots without a heat exchanger. PS Just to be clear - Im not bagging the Micro Rocket - I like my Micro Rocket, but its a bit broken and the pots support dimensions dont really suit my new non-stick ETA Pot. $61 delivered (Spider same price $65 delivered) The King Kong FMS 100T does look awesome though for a winter stove - will keep it in mind for colder hikes. Wider burner - both the FMS and Spider have a wider burner than some stoves.Īt this stage I dont need a winter stove based on the hikes I do, so the 117T should work for the conditions I hike in. For example the ETA Pot is a very precarious on the Micro Rocket (see pic), I basically have to hold it on the stove the whole time when cooking - so Im liking the idea of wider supports. ![]() The FMS should allow more overlap (in theory - will find out). The gap in the heat exchanger is 10cm so the Spider only allows 1cm overlap on the pots supports. I needed it sooner rather than later.ĭiameter of pot supports 145mm (FM website) - The pot supports (top) on Spider appear to be 12cm (based on MarkFs info on BPL, or HJ says 13cm but not sure if that is the top or base of the supports - no info on Kovea website). The Kovea Spider is 4-6 weeks and I couldnt find expedited shipping for it. Remote Canister - lower centre of gravity - want to try something different from my (slightly broken) Micro Rocket.Īvailability - the FMS stove can be shipped in 2 weeks with expedited shipping ($2.50USD extra). The FMS shellite stove looks great Solohike and I can see fuel stoves have their purpose. Ive never used a liquid fuel stove so prefer to go with what I know. Gas - Im happy with gas for the hikes I do. ![]() I ordered the 117T for the following reasons (in order of importance): Thanks NNW for the feedback on combo of 117T and pot (and conditions) - good to know. ![]()
