I've been keeping an eye on these tiny camping / hiking stoves for a while and just received this deal via email. The email said it was a 48hr deal only, but who knows.

Normal price is $11.something.

These things weigh a paltry 25gms and fire up really well.

There's heaps of reviews around the various hiking and bushwalking forums mostly praising these units:

The only criticisms i can find relate to the longevity of the aluminium thread. This won't be a problem if it's taken care of, but for this price I just bought two!

  There are tons of these on ebay, lots of different variations. I got this one (located in Australia) after searching a bit; it's one of the cheaper and smaller ones but it comes with a piezo lighter so you don't need matches. This looks like the same thing, but a bit longer shipping time. Just search for "Hiking Stove" and you'll find a lot of options.

  Not really clear what you are getting:

  "Please note: The stove is not included
  The things except the burner are not include"

  Totally agree with Alzori, if it doesn’t come with a piezo then its a second rate product.
  (also the threaded butane bottles are a bit expensive for these so i recommend an adaptor http://www.gearbest.com/camp-kitchen/pp_378330.html to use the cheaper butane bottles )

    That adaptor look a bit dangerous. The cylinder could easily roll over, and liquid butane come out instead of gas.

    I think these are more stable:

    The threaded propane canisters are a lot more expensive, but needed in cold conditions. Not usually a problem in Australia.

      Yeah the one that you pointed out is more common, but the example i used is a bit more flexible - not much difference either way.
      (the butane bottles usually lock in under pressure so i would doubt that it would simply just fall out - but you never know with these cheap products)

      For really cold climates i would strongly recommend the liquid fuel ones.

        That flexible hose is what lets the cylinder roll over. I'm not talking about it falling out.
        The reason for the notch on the collar is that they need to be a particular side up.

        With the fixed ones, you have the weight of the pot keeping the whole thing secure.

  For $10 more i suggest going for the Furno stove instead as its a proven design. It can support bigger pans and outputs more heat for a quicker boil.

  The Furno is practically identical to the MSR pocket rocket in the US.

  Piezo ignition is unreliable at high altitudes and can break, so no good for remote hiking and camping. Grab yourself a $3 firesteel from GB and your set:

  Also if you didn't know, you can refill the small butane canisters using a big BBQ bottle. You just need an adapter and a scale.

    I will disagree mate.
    Piezo ignition is almost fool proof and you always going to have back up. (its like having keyless entry on your car its highly convenient and if it fails you always have the key)
