{"id":2561,"count":10,"description":"Wilderness is beautifully unpredictable, which is why no controlled test can fully emulate the actual conditions one might encounter when using a gas canister stove in the wilderness. Tests done over time, however, increase the odds of experiencing an array of conditions. We fill in gaps by testing in frontcountry, non-camping scenarios.<\/span>\r\n\r\nKovea, Olicamp, and GSI are creating stiff competition for stalwarts Jetboil and MSR. SnowPeak, Primus and Optimus have long been favorites of European adventurers, but mysteriously lack cache among domestic buyers. Our tests can (and should) change that. <\/span>\r\n\r\nWe test for a stove\u2019s capability to cook food, how fast it boils, how it handles typical wear and tear, how it performs in wind, and fuel efficiency. We overlap subjective factors such as construction quality and functionality during testing. We ask, did a design engineer create a novelty or a practical product? Are pot supports too weak for big pots? Is the fuel line too stiff?<\/span>\r\n\r\nCanister stoves can be subdivided into upright stoves, remote canister stoves and heat exchanger systems. Examples of each, respectively, would be the MSR Pocket Rocket, the GSI Pinnacle Four Season and the Jetboil Flash.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEach backpacking stove type has its purpose among backpackers and campers, depending on trip type, number of people, travel conditions, trip goals and menu choices. The stoves in this test vary greatly on weight, features, overall design, and of course, price. <\/span>","link":"https:\/\/gearinstitute.com\/hiking\/camping-stoves\/gas-canister-backpacking-stoves\/","name":"Gas Canister Backpacking Stoves","slug":"gas-canister-backpacking-stoves","taxonomy":"category","parent":2560,"meta":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Best Gas Canister Backpacking Stoves | Reviews and Buying Advice | Gear Institute<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our experts extensively field-tested the best Gas Canister Backpacking Stoves of the year and rated the best based on transparent, objective criteria.
