If I were to buy one today I’d look at the Iwatani 35FW Portable Butane Stove. It gets good reviews, but it’s a bit more $$$.

A couple words of warning. Watch the ventilation, it is a gas stove. Do not use a pan/pot that extends over the fuel canister, it can cause excess heat in the canister and that might be seriously bad.

OTOH, an MSR Pocket Rocket can boil water. That and a copper kettle (old Revere ware) are in my truck kit.


- My teardrop camper has one very similar to the above with about 8,000 BTU. The problem with butane is that is only good to about the freezing point. Butane bottles in packs are relatively economical.
- My MSR Micro Rocket I believe is about 8,200 BTUs on IsoButane. IsoButane is NOT economical but definitely convenient.
- My old Coleman Xtreme running on propane/butane mix has about 14,000 (I still have a box of fuel canisters for that beauty! Its perfect for the winter months but when I run out, I am out forever.)
