BRS 26g Stove Ultralight BRS-3000T Titanium Alloy Stove Camping Gas Stoves Outdoor Stove Gas Stove Gas Stove Miniature Portable Picnic

I just received it and tried it out. I super like it for its near zero volume and weight. Easily screwed onto an 8 Oz can of "4 Season Mix Power Gas". Valve and flame control worked flawlessly. I am a multi-day back packer who must limit weight and space in my bag. I am using this ONLY to bring 16oz water to a boil. CAUTION - The pot can tip easily. The support arms are small only 2" in length so this stove requires constant attention when in use. Other than that -- Yes I would buy again. Observations using symbols for good ++ and could be improved -- and .. for FYI. ++ Valve flow adjust is continuously variable (like analog not digital), ( = simple design). ++ Yes it weighs less than 4 oz. Amazing. ++ When closed occupies 2"x1"x1". Amazing. ++ Yes it is strong for what it is; but could be bent by hand. ++ Comes with small bright green nylon storage pack. ++ Vertically -- It supported my pan and H20 fine (16 oz H20 and 4 oz pan). -- Does not have an igniter. A PE igniter would be a nice enhancment to the design. .. It requires threaded canisters and it relies on the strength of those threads to support everything above it (pot/food/etc) -- Tipsy CAUTION! I used a 4" diameter canister as the base. Avoid the smaller canisters. -- Tipsy CAUTION! The three arms are a very small foot print for supporting the pot. Only 2" per side of triangle looking down. -- Tipsy CAUTION! so you MUST balance the pot carefully and perfectly or hold it by hand continuously. -- Tipsy CAUTION! Requires constant attention and observation when in use - Lacks the wide supports that bigger stoves have. ++ It boiled a cup of water in 1 minute at sea level (using new can of fuel mentioned above). .. Noisier than expected but that allows me to adjust flow by ear when in bright day light and can't see flame.

You can't go wrong. It is tiny, it is extremely light, works extremely well and is really cheap. And it comes with a spare O-Ring just in case you lose one. Pick up a 3 pack of the cheapest disposable lighters you can find and stash them in any bag you might use when you have your stove and they will last your lifetime and probably more so you really don't need a built in igniter. Stop reading more reviews. By now it should be clear. Part with the cash and don't look back. If your time is worth anything, this thing is costing you more with every word you read. Buy it and be done with it. You will love it as long as you go out and actually use it. And even if you don't use it, carry it around and show it off to your friends. They will be so impressed! You will be like a backpacking stove god! That has to be worth at least 17 bucks right there. Cheers!

It's a cute little stove and if, like me, you buy too many stoves, you'll eventually end with one this, no matter how hard you try to resist. Curiosity if nothing else. + It's compact. + It's light. + It's inexpensive. + It's easy to use, no fiddle factor. + You can turn it down to simmer (or for better efficiency). + I've read that quality is variable but mine seems good. - It has a small footprint so it's mostly for small diameter pots. I'd worry about stability with a squat pot or anything larger that about 700-750mL. - It's also short. I worry that if I do much more than boil a cup or two of water that I'll reflect too much heat back onto the canister. Especially if there wasn't any wind. Or if I was simmering in a larger diameter pot. - It doesn't handle wind well. A lot of stoves don't but this one especially so. Just need shield it from the wind without wrapping it up with a windscreen. (which could overheat the canister and cause it to explode) In my case, it's good for a cup of coffee/tea on my day walks. Or even a few nights of Mountain House or freezer bag cooking. Is the quality as good as my MSRs, Sotos and Snow Peaks? No but it's not meant to be. This one fills a different niche. :-)

If you are looking at this stove I am assuming you are looking at cutting down your base weight for long hikes. Please see below for the general classification for stoves in the ultra light community. Canister Gas Stove Weight Classes (Less Than or Equal To) Ounces/Grams Heavy 4+ 113+ Moderate < 4 < 113 Light < 3 < 85 Ultralight (UL) < 2 < 57 Super Ultralight (SUL) < 1 < 28 At 25 grams (or less than 1 oz.) this stove really is in a class of its own. I decided to leave a review because I see this has many 1 star reviews, more specifically that this stove has a problem with wind and tines melting. The stove claims to be made of titanium, which if true there wouldn't be so many pictures of the tines melting since titanium has a melting point of 3000 °F or 1648 °C. If you are still reading this review I am sure you are wondering why the 4 stars? Many of these reviews have people trying to use this stove to boil actual pots of water, putting 2 or more liters of water on the stove. This is a super ultralight stove you can not do this! It was not made to take to a picnic to heat up a 2 gallon pot, it will fail. I did multiple tests on the stove boiling water in my titanium 500 ml cup or roughly 16 fluid oz. Most dehydrated meals require 2 cups of water (500 ml). On a low flame (as seen in the picture) it took roughly10 minutes to bring to a rolling boil. On a medium flame I was able to achieve a rolling boil in 6 minutes. I did not attempt to use the high setting on the stove because I suspect this isn't proper titanium and has a much lower melting point than 3000 °F. I also didn't use more than 500 ml because I feel going above 750 ml with this stove would be unsafe due to the constraints of working with such small tines. Again, most dehydrated meals use 16 oz. to cook which 500 ml is the perfect amount. After running multiple tests in perfect indoor conditions and breezy less ideal outdoor conditions, this stove did not fail. This stove absolutely needs a wind guard or something to block the wind (like a backpack), as it does not tolerate wind well at all. Again this is a super ultralight stove, you are going to find that many things are lacking but that's what happens when you are cutting weight. At 25 grams (0.88 oz.) this stove is absolutely incredible. With 1 500ml titanium pot, 1 full size Bic lighter, a 100g full fuel canister, and the BRS 3000T my cooking setup is 336g or 0.74 lbs. Further, if the stove is used appropriately there should not be any failures. Ultimately I give this stove 4 stars. It works incredibly well for what it is, a super ultralight backpacking stove. I can't give it 5 stars due to the multiple incidents of the tines melting, which suggests that the titanium it is advertised as is disingenuous. This is most likely made of mixture of steel and titanium which would explain other users having issues with the tines melting (Again do not try to use this to boil large pots of water on a high setting!) Also a 25g stove made of actual titanium would cost significantly more than $17. Long story short, manage your expectations, don't cook on the max setting, don't boil large volumes of water, and don't try to use this in a windy area without a wind screen. If you keep these things in mind you will really enjoy this stove.

Pros: - Even though the price has gone up 75 percent over the last year, it is still a steal - Crazy light - Cools quickly - Does its job Cons (all worth it to me considering the price and weight): - it can be a little tricky to balance a pot bigger than 750 ml - I can see from older reviews, the regulator will apparently let you run this thing too hot for the titanium to keep its shape (you just need to be careful. If you aren't deaf you can hear that you have it too high) - Like anything of similar design, wind can be a serious issue. If there is a breeze, you definitely need to take steps to protect this setup as the flame will flicker or go out completely. I suggest you do 3 or 4 practice runs with this setup before taking it out into the bush. I found by the 5th use it became second nature to place my pot in the right place very quickly. Initially it took up to a minute of fiddling with pot position before I felt it was secure. This isn't the easiest setup to boil with for other reasons too. All of it becomes easier the more you use it.

This little stove is great. What's not to like? It's inexpensive, weighs nothing, takes up no space, and will easily boil two cups of water as quickly as any other stove of this type. It's even well made. Yes, the support arms and the flame control arm are thin, but they're made well. The support arms lock in place with a detent and they are sturdy and flat when open. When folded, they kind of dangle loosely but the stove comes with a perfectly nice little stuff sack that keeps everything safe in storage. The one knock on this stove is also due to its strength: the small size. You could potentially have stability issues if you're using a bigger pot or pan, and perhaps a hot spot in the middle due to the narrowness of the flame. That said, I cooked with it last weekend on uneven bare ground and didn't have too much problem. Just use common sense and handle your cookware mindfully. I boiled some veggies in my cook pot, then actually cooked a thick piece of salmon in a 6-inch fry pan. The salmon took a little while, but I didn't have a problem with a hot spot or getting the fish cooked through in cold, rainy conditions. So it absolutely can be done on this little BRS stove. Great product.

Yes it is as good as reported. Weighs grams, and works great. Is it perfect, no. The threads were a little rough at first and I had to really work it to get it first threaded to a tank. After that it was fine and I have used it multiple times under a number of different conditions on last trip. About 10 burns so far. I had to bend one of the legs a bit to get it to snap into place as it should out of the package too but I did not think that was a big deal for the money. It is probably the most effected by wind than any other stove due to design but I just moved it or used a wind shelter. I have not compared the fuel use compared to another, but I would assume it is not as fuel efficient as some others. However, it is tiny, super light and works. I actually bought the propane converter to use it with a larger propane tank as a back up or car camping. It it as good as a pocket rocket or others, probably not, but it weights less than half of those.

I've used this on 3 backpacking trips now and I love it! The size and weight are perfect. It also comes in a tiny poly bag the I keep the stove in inside of my 750ml cook pot with the fuel canister as an all-in-one carrying system. The bag keeps the stove from "clanking" around. The stove seems to be efficient on fuel too as I haven't even finished my first 4.0z canister, that's with my stove being the only one in our group (15 meals or so). It isn't a huge fan of wind since there is no baffle but, it you tuck it behind a tree or rock when cooking in the wind it doesn't miss a beat. I would highly recommend this stove to anyone seeking their first backpacking stove.
