Getting a hot meal, whether in a SHTF moment or a camping / hiking  scenario can post a challenge. This amazing ultralight weight Canister Camp Stove solves that dilemma.

I’ve been testing a very inexpensive canister stove with piezo ignition that I found on Amazon.com for the past 2 weeks. It only costs $9.95 and doesn’t even have a name except Ultralight Backpacking

Canister Camp Stove.

But still, that’s more than 80% less expensive than a comparable ($50) Snow Peak Gigapower Auto, so I thought I’d check it out. At that price, I figured it (the Orange Amazon stove) would be a good buy for a beginner backpacker or boy scout that wants good gear at a bargain price. The question in my mind was what you have to sacrifice for the price break and what kind of value the Orange stove would provide.

Gear Weight

Weight-wise, the Orange stove weighs 3.3 ounces and comes with with a protective orange plastic carrying case weighing 0.6 ounces. In comparison my Titanium Gigapower weighs 3.0 ounces and comes with a 0.8 ounce plastic carrying case, so the two stoves are pretty comparable in terms of weight.

Pot Stability

The Orange stove comes with a collapsible pot stand that folds away accordion style for storage. The stand has tiny feet at the end of each support member that rotate out to help hold a wider pot.

This awesome, lightweight Canister stove is an easy purchase for a beginner, but even pro hikers and campers should consider it.

For those preparing for that SHTF moment, this is one more inexpensive pick-up that can make the difference between going hungry until you get to your safe spot or cooking a quick meal on the run.
