SOTO ST-320 Single Burner, Ultra-thin, 1.0 inch (2.5 cm), Lightweight, Compact, Storage Case, Solo, Camping, Touring, G-Stove, Made in Japan

A well made product that is small and weighs very little. The device assembles quickly and provides great heat output. I can see why motorcyclists and backpackers like it. People on youtube have suggested improvements and I can say they may be right. The design of the 'fingers' where you place the pot holder could be changed so a larger pot holder could be used, or certain tent stakes if needed. It could use a triangle windscreen for the area aft of the fuel and burner and I hope they decide to offer one for sale someday as an accessory. After trying it out I used several campingmoon adapters to use the fuel can remotely, thus removing the fuel canister from any heat and this worked well. Seems to work well with butane, isobutane and I even tried it with propane. No problems with any of them. You can find clones on ebay but do yourself a favor and get the real deal.

The first time attaching the burner assembly to the stand and the fuel tank to the burner assembly is a little fiddly. The instructions are in Japanese (which I do not read). I ran them through Google translate, and that worked brilliantly. Once you figure out how to assemble it, it's very easy. It folds very compactly into a rugged rectangular carrying case. The ignitor does not always light with the first click, but it has never failed me after several tries. The flame pattern is compact which is fine except that it is not as effective for larger pots and pans. In fact, for large pots and pans, the heat shield will get in the way and will cause the unit to only heat one edge of the pot/pan instead of the center. Nonetheless, I think this is an excellent unit for one or two people with a more narrow cup or pot to heat. Works great with the small Soto cookset.

This is probably our favorite small stove of around 20 to takeout. Works on cheaper butane and has never let us down. Fits our Trangia Mini cook set for and great 1-2 person kit. We can boil water,fry, and stove has a great simmer that does not have to be fiddled with. We have never had a problem with piezo igniter and have not had to use our remote lighter. Japanese engineered quality from top to bottom !!

I bought this for the portability and it was the best purchase ever. It fits in your book bag and when hiking I can just pull out whenever I want a nice warm cup of coffee/tea. It won’t handle a big pot but that’s not what I bought it for. The convinces is awesome. If you are looking for a small portable stove this one works well. Since I bought it I have used countless times. Love it. Well made, quality camping accessory.

I love this little stove and I own MSR wind burner and several jet boil stoves. I always seem to reach for this one, it might not boil as fast as the others but I’m in no hurry. It’s small, well built and has a really unique design. I love this stove.

Would be nice to have instructions in English and not Chinese

Seems to be a a good stove but the instructions are in Japanese - how hard would it be to have English there or a link to online instructions. It might take a little time to assemble but don't force it or give up

I wrote my review again since I have some issues that I solved but after that I believe it's working fine.Mine had some issue with the spark, so it wasn't lighting the gas. I'm my case I had to move the igniter end so the spark ligts the gas that comes from the side. I bet that this isn't something you'll have to do but I'll mention it just in case.Overall it heats water fast, I use a Pomoly 750ml kettle and fits perfectly, also tried a Jetboil skillet and works (although this is probably the larger pan you'll be able to fit). Keep in mind that this is small and light so it's better if you only need to boil water for drinks and rehydrating your food but you'll still be able to cook for one person.Before going out though, it's always better to test it at home and make sure it works as expected.
