The Whisperlite packs a punch. That’s why we keep writing about it (three times in the past month). The tripod structure increases stability and allows for a speedy set-up, an appreciated feature on nights when you’re quickly losing light by the time you break for camp. Bonus: the versatile stove is able to burn white gas, kerosene and unleaded fuel.
Best For: mobility and multi-fuel burning
This Jetboil stove transforms novice cooks into noble chefs with unsophisticated functionality. MiniMo gives backcountry cooks the control to adjust the heat levels with precision. An innovative valve system allows micro adjustments between smooth simmers and high-heat boils.
Best For: controlled cooking
Exhaustion strikes and you need food – fast. Primus uses magnets to attach the windscreen directly to the stove and a piezoelectric start for immediate heat. With a weight of 449 grams, the Primus ETA Express isn’t the lightest stove in the game, but it provides a hot flame and blocks wind better than most stoves in its weight class.
Best For: quick setup, wind protection
