Single burner camp stove

[KonzaLander]

yeah, i've heard mixed reviews on those. i just bought a GasOne on amazon in january and took it up to north georgia the end of january and it boiled water pretty quick and it was below freezing out and i did it out in the open on my tailgate. it seems like a great stove, but some are having problems. wonder if there is a restriction somewhere? maybe something didn't get machined right and fuel isn't flowing properly? i use the regular ole coleman 1# propane tank with the adapter hose.

I was disappointed when I did the boil test on my front porch. I contacted GasOne afterwards for any advice and their representative simply blamed my problem on altitude...I am at 1,100' in Kansas and tried a 1lb bottle and the 20lb tank (with adapter) from my BBQ grill. It has been a few years since I've had this stove out. I might try a butane canister designed for the stove.

Interesting. I've had problems with butane stoves at altitude in the past which is why I went with the dual fuel model. I have a GS-3400P dual fuel version of the stove as well and really liked it running on Propane up here in the Colorado mtns. 9-10k feet. This is the 8000 BTU model, they also have a 15-16,000 BTU model (GS-3900P?) as well as some with smaller burners. You might check to see if you have one of the 5-7k BTU models.

Same here $20 and cylinders about 6 for $10, handy when you cant have a fire or just want a quick cuppa on the side of the track.

Try a backpacking stove. Can make a windscreeen from a turkey roasting pan. If all you want to do boil water to make coffee, or heat up some soup, they are pretty damn awesome. I have an Ektcity burner, weighs 3 oz. Works kinda like a blowtorch, but I don't expect to actually cook with it. I think I paid $10 for the burner, fuel is ~ $7. It doesn't use Coleman propane canisters, so that could be a third fuel\canister type you carry. I also have an MSR Whisperlite Universal, but only use that Winter camping. Its heavier. White gas is heavier, Fuel bottle is heavier, but it heats up fast and I can actually cook with it. It was also way more expensive.

After many years of carrying a big tub with all kind of camp kitchen stuff that we thought we needed for our camping experiences, I wanted to put together something together that was compact. My Idea was to take a small amo box and see if I could put together a kit that would be compact and efficient to use. (Also easy to store in any vehicle kind of a emergency cook kit) My wife and I went to Big Bass Pro shop and walked around picking out things we felt would be functional and still fit in the tiny amo box. I had already purchased the Coleman peak 1 small butane burner from the Coleman outlet store in Castle Rock. And had purchase a small Stanley back packing kit that had cups and you can boil water in. We bought one of those collapsible fry pans. A bowl ustentl kit. And I already had bought one of those cheap windscreens off Ebay.
We took it on our camping/kayaking weekend to try it out. It worked very well except for trying to cook with the fry pan the peak burner worked but really wasn't as stable as we would like it to be. I had watch a video the Cheap Living did a interview of a woman that Nomads on the road and she marveled about the stove in question and that's why I decided to give it a try. I had read from other sources is that they work best using a 75% butane/25% propane mix for higher altitude (Kova butane bottles) after searching all over the place locally and all over the internet I finally found someone who sells them here in the US. I found them from NomaticOutfiters they carry the stove and the heater also. And I was very pleased with the quick response to verify that I was ordering the correct butane for my needs.
Though I have not been out much to use my new stove, from the limited time I have I think it's going to be the perfect addition to my kit. It's compact and comes in a nice protective case.

I have a gas one gs-3400p stove that I've used a few times. Love it so far. I've used it at about 6000ft and not had any issues with it yet. We'll see how that goes though. I've only used it on propane, and not butane though.
