Gas Stove (BRS-3000T)

First the positives, this is tiny. If you have a fat thumb then that's about the size you a talking about. It weighs next to nothing and fits into every cookset I've got from esbit through to trangia. It has good build quality and the gas control lever is effective so you can have low power, jet engine and everything in between. Which leads me to the bad points. Even at low power It is powerful enough to melt the coating off your pots if you have cheap pans. I was gently heating some hobo stew in my kidney cup and noticed black flakes. Upon cleaning I found that these were the coating from the inside of the cup so be wary if you aren't using bare stainless or titanium. It's tiny, which means even when it's supports are fully extended they aren't that big. You need a small pot to stay stable and I would even suggest using gas canisters with a large footprint to increase the stability. I didn't so I actually had to hold my pot onto the burner to stop the whole thing falling over. This is probably not a wild camping stove but i suspect it will come into its own if you have a table to put it on. It boils water as fast as you would like. Yes some others are faster but they're 3 times the price. On the whole I quite like it but I'm going to need some new kit to use it to it's full potential. Shucks 😁

Smallest stove about Take it on all bikepacking trips and it’s brilliant, packs a punch and boils up water rapidly.

Great price and superb to use as an ultra lightweight cook set. Does use a lot of gas and not good in wind, so you need a wind guard. I love this little stove.

I bought this because it was the smallest and lightest stove I could find. It comes in a little fluorescent pouch, which you'll need to keep you from losing it. And also comes with a spare O ring which is a nice touch. I used this when wild camping in the woods and I found it very effective. It's quite noisy when it's turned up to full but that's normal for gas stoves. If out in the open it definitely needs a windshield. I stupidly took this as my only stove on a 3 night trip to dartmoor. On the first night I was trying to boil water, and although the flame was coping, the wind was concentrating the heat on one of the pan support legs which then buckled and bent. I managed to bend it back into shape and the stove limped through to the end of the trip but now its in a bag of redundant stuff in the shed. These days I take an alcohol stove or a sturdier gas stove. In short if you want the smallest lightest stove buy this, but its quite limiting

Super light, super good.

Great stove, I usually pair it with some tin foil as a shield if there are winds.

The best value for money stove you can get

This is my second purchase as my wife stole my first one. Used in anger for weeks at a time during long hikes in Scotland, probably 5 times a day. Nothing warped, bent or melted similar to some YouTube videos. I only use with pots and contents up to around 1kg and I've never had issues. If you want to use in conjunction with a Dutch oven, look elsewhere. This is excellent for boiling water during light weight backpacking / bikepacking. Simmer function works well but I tend to boil and then shove into an insulated pouch to save fuel. Can't beat the value for money.
