Thread: All about gas stoves.

Thanks - I've got a MSR windburner that I like but it has severe limitations in cold conditions and the proprietary pots are a nark, so after a little research I've ordered a Kovea "Spider", an inverted type, under 200 gms

Yeah it would be cool if they made a stove like the remote canister version of the windburner but it could be used liquid feed mode. The windburner / reactor style burners are amazing in the wind. That'd remove the need for a windshield you need with the other inverted canister stoves.

Yup - will need a shield, will have to find some foil flashing stuff . . . or the like if anybody has better ideas for a source? The other thing about Windburners that pisses me off is no simmer, so properly cooked backsteaks are a very moving target!

I think a lot of the problem with simmering with the windburner/reactor style is you can't see the flame with the pot on them. Your spider stove should be all good simmering if you use it in the upright position. They can surge or 'chug' a bit inverted.
