For some campers no cooking stove is necessary, as meals will be cooked over an open flame with fuel gathered on-site. However Snow Peak, the Japanese high-end outdoor gear brand, primarily targets car campers who will be bringing their own fuel. They've thus designed this Home & Camp Butane Stove, which is based around the form factor of a butane canister. The cooking platform folds out of the body, providing enough spread to hold a pot or pan steady. Unfolded, it can support a vessel up to 12" in diameter. You won't be needing your firestarter; the unit features an auto-igniter. And you can literally dial in the flame level.Comes in three colors. It's made of stainless steel and weighs 3 lbs. The asking price is $130. You can find lesser-quality Chinese knockoffs on Amazon for less than half that, from companies you've never heard of, and with no guarantee. In contrast, Snow Peak offers a lifetime guarantee on their products. You get what you pay for.
