SOTO Micro Regulator camping stove grey 2014 gas cooker

To quote from the Instruction Manual "The stove's o-ring should be replaced when wear, cracking or leakage occurs." Do they provide any spares with a new stove? No. Do they have any for sale on their website? No. Do Amazon sell them? No. What a joke. Would a responsible manufactirer would be happy with this state of affairs? No. A very light stove with cool features but a waste of time if you ever want to go camping with. Purchase at your own risk!

I like this SOTO stove so much better than the one it replaced. I used to have a 'MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove' which worked ok but it was challenging to assemble and disassemble. The Soto stove simple requires pulling the support legs out and they clip into place, reverse the motion to fold the legs back in for storage. The MSR was a crazy contortion of folding to get the legs to go back into storage mode, the MSR wasn't intuitive like the SOTO is. Also, the burner is bigger on the SOTO and brings water to a boil quicker. Highly recommend the SOTO stove. The push button lighter on the SOTO is great too, no separate lighter required.

Diesen Kocher habe ich auf OdooTv gesehen. Ich kann der Vorstellung und dem Fazit von Herrn Konze nur zustimmen. Ein Kocher mit viel Bums und sehr leicht. Habe ihn in Kombi mit einer stechdornkartusche aus dem Baumarkt, einem Adapter und einem Standfuß aus Plastik. Diese Kombi ist für meine Zwecke ausreichend standsicher und akzeptabel leicht um im Rucksack transportiert zu werden. Wasser kocht in gefühlt einer Sekunde und eine große Dose Essen ist in gefühlt 2 Sekunden fertig. Das erleichtert es natürlich, wenn man in einer Gruppe unterwegs ist und sich während einer kurzen Pause mal schnell was zu essen machen will. Der Kocher ist auch sehr schnell wieder abgekühlt, so dass er wieder in den mitgelieferten Beutel gesteckt werden kann. Dieser hätte ruhig etwas größer ausfallen können. Da muss man ganz schön friemeln.

Ich besitze mehrere Kocher mit unterschiedlichen Brennstoffsorten. Dieser hier ist mittlerweile nach mehreren Bergtouren mein Lieblingskocher geworden. Er ist leicht, klein und obwohl er im ersten Moment einen zerbrechlichen Eindruck macht, gibt er bis 1,5 kg nicht nach. Sicher gibt es stabilere Brenner, die dann aber auch schwerer sind.PS: Wenn sich jemand zwischen Benzin und Gas nicht entscheiden kann, dann empfehle ich für Benzin den MSR Whisperlite.

I absolutely love this stove. It is a very high quality product, and puts out a lot of heat. I have not had any issues with it in the wind. It fits perfectly inside my Toaks 750ML titanium pot, along with the Toaks titanium folding spork and fuel canister. The Toaks 600ML pot was too short to fit the stove and fuel canister at the same time.

I bought this for a 5 day backpacking trip into the Wrangell St. Elias National Park in Alaska. Being in an area with no access to supplies, this was critical to work well for us. I had my old primus spider as a backup, which I was very familiar with in terms of its fuel use. Gauging the amount of fuel needed for the spider, I was shocked that the SOTO used just over half of what it would have taken with the spider. Mind you, I also purchased the windscreen for this stove, which I believe is critical to its efficiency. You can put your hand literally next to the pot at full blast and you won't get burned. The windscreen directs the heat up and not to the side. I had 2X the amount of fuel I ended up needing, and the next trip will be much lighter, as I won't be carrying as much fuel. The extra cost will be paid for with the savings of fuel, and my back is happier.Most of the boils we did were with temperatures in the 40s or 50s, and the water was fresh from snow or ice runoff which is a few degrees above freezing. We were very satisfied with this purchase.
