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

I ordered this as a replacement for a canister stove I bought back in 2014 that stopped working on my last trip. I wanted something small, easy, and affordable. First thoughts on this is that it is tiny! I thought my old stove was small but this thing is less than half the size and weight of the one I had before. In the picture this one is the one on the left. It screws on to your basic isobutane fuel canister and lights easily from a lighter, match, or whatever else you bring along since it does not have a built in ignition system. I don't care about that too much because on the last trip I went on, everyone was having issues with those anyway. I'm happy to bring a lighter along with me. It has little pieces of metal to help spread and direct the flame to help with evenly distributing the heat which I like. The only down side that I see is that the prongs that hold your pot are pretty narrow. They are too small for my pot with a heat exchanger which means if I want to use that, I'll have to bring along some sort of grate system to keep things from spilling. Still a full five stars for me because I know I can be careful or figure something else out, but it is something to keep in mind.

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.

Great small stove. Light weight and easy to pack away. Every cartridge available in local outdoor stores has fit and usually last a long time, heating up water 3 times a day while camping.

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/GramsHeavy 4+ 113+Moderate < 4 < 113Light < 3 < 85Ultralight (UL) < 2 < 57Super Ultralight (SUL) < 1 < 28At 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.

Easy to use, super small and light, unbeatable price
