35FW Single-Burner Butane Portable Cooktop Indoor & Outdoor Cooking Stove Medium

I have wanted one of these butane powered cooktops for a while. I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't like messing up the big cooktop after I spent 20 minutes cleaning it. Sometimes I get a little wild with Italian cooking and my pan tossing skills don't always work out well. What I'm saying is, cooking can be messy and I wanted a non-induction portable cooktop that I could use on the kitchen island with a silicone mat, outdoors on a table, or if I needed to tailgate, I could take it with me. There are plenty of these available and if you watch any folks cooking on YouTube, you've probably noticed over the last couple of years that these have become much more prevalent than they used to be. I tend to avoid buying the bottom end of things but admittedly, this was more spendy than I was targeting. However, I liked the design, and I have never had a bad experience with a Japanese made cooking applicance or utensil in the kitchen, so I pulled the trigger. What you get for the money is a very solid cooktop that is well made, looks good, and most importantly, it delivers low to high heat. You should manage your expectations that using a super large pan on this burner is not recommended since the heat can transfer into the butane canister, but it does have an overheating safeguard built in that I hope I never need or approach. Turning the knob feels quality and it ignites perfectly, every single time. It allows for very good heat control, from flames rolling up the sides of a small skillet, to a very mild simmer. It includes a nice case to store the cooktop in when not in use. I typically cover mine with some foil when in use to make cleanup easier, but otherwise, it doesn't get much easier to use, and based on the fact my Iwatani torch is still going strong 10+ years later, I don't see this letting me down anytime soon. While it commands a higher price, I think the quality matches the price point in terms of what you can expect in 2025.

I assumed all of these portable butane burners were cheap Chinese products and were all the same. I was thoroughly embarrassed by my cheap burner during a picnic with friends when the meat I was cooking took 3x longer to cook and ended up a soggy mess with no sear. I had to transfer my meat to one of my friend’s burners to finish cooking after he had already finished 3 rounds of meat. I immediately searched butane burners when I got home and found this Iwatani burner, and was impressed that it was made in Japan. The difference in heat output is amazing, and blows my old burner away! It even boils water faster than a burner of similar size on my kitchen gas range. The build quality is very good, and the unit is light and easy to carry. It is expensive for a portable butane burner, but the price is well worth it to me for its excellent functionality and retribution for the embarrassment I suffered from my old burner. This burner finally earned me the respect I was desperately seeking from my friends, and you can’t put a price on that.

I've only used this stove a few times, and I like it a lot! This Iwatani stove is so much easier to use compared to my Coleman single burner stove. With this Iwatani stove, I simply open the lid, insert butane cannister, close the lid, press the dial to on position, and bam! Fire instantly comes on nice and hot! I can then lower the heat by turning the dial the other direction. When done cooking, I simply take the butane cannister and place the cap back on, then insert the cannister back into the compartment BACKWARDS for easy storage when not in use. I got this tip from other user comment (thanks by the way!). Contrast this with my Coleman single burner stove in terms of operation. With the Coleman stove, you need to first insert the pipe that screws into the stove (don't lose the pipe, by the way), then screw in the propane cannister into the pipe that screws into the stove, then need to get my long match/torch to light the darn stove while turning the dial to the on position. That's literally 4 separate items needed to make everything work (Stove, Pipe, Cannister, Match). The Iwatani stove is so much easier to use compared to my Coleman stove. I was able to boil a large kettle of water quickly and effortlessly. Because the Iwatani stove is well built, the unit didn't get too overly hot after using for only several minutes. A couple points further. As others have noted, the included plastic carry case is...well, cheap! The actual case is okay, but the 2 closing latches on top are poorly designed and constructed, and is a bit loose and wobbly when closed with the stove inside. When carrying the stove inside the carry case, you will need to make sure the latches don't come loose. Both of my Iwantani stoves have the same lousy carry case design. I also discovered that if you inadvertently open the carry case with the stove upside down, the top piece of the stove (the windbreaker part) will simply fall off, as it seems like there is nothing to hold it in place other than gravity when the stove is right side up. Lastly, DON'T buy the Iwatani brand of butane cannisters like I did. It's very expensive, and I doubt it's much better to justify the high cost. I ended up finding an Asian restaurant supply store nearby me that sold a 4 pack of butane cannisters for only $4.25, such a bargain! Better yet, they also had a small supply of this same Iwantani stove, so I bought a 2nd one directly from the same store! I now have 2 of these Iwatani stoves! I plan on using one to cook water, and the other one for cooking food or whatever. I don't know how these things will hold up over time, but I can say this stove looks well made and is worth the extra cost. I will be using this stove for camping. I highly recommend this product!

This thing is sweet! I was going to buy the $70 slimmer version but this seemed worth it after reading some reviews and seeing a video of it on YouTube. After being in Japan and enjoying the bbq and portable propane stovetops people use in their houses I really wanted a gas type of stove to use indoors, this really fit the bill and it’s been great to cook dinner on our living room coffee table. Can get super hot and really puts out the same gas pressure throughout the entire life of the butane can. Pretty precise gas control too, the build quality on this thing is very nice. Excited to cook more on it and maybe bring it camping.

O fogão é de boa qualidade. Se precisar de peças de reposição não sei aonde recorrer.

Impecable manufactura. Funciona perfectamente. Fácil de usar. Bella

ممتاز جدًا وخفيف الوزن

This is my first Butane stove, I have over the years I've been camping watched my friends struggling with cheap Butane stoves and decided they were not the way to go. But now that I've tried this stove I'm sold. It is great, it heats up food/water super quickly. It is well built and efficient with gas use. It is well worth the additional cost over the others, for the quality and efficiency, I highly recommend this product.
