The wide 4-inch pot supports cradle everything from small solo pots to larger cookware for group meals. With a 10,000 BTU flame, it boils a liter of water in under four minutes and handles real cooking—not just reheating. Stable, wind-resistant, and built for simplicity, it’s a dependable base for backpacking, overlanding, or minimalist camp kitchens.
When it’s time to break down camp, detach the burner and stow it in the included nylon storage bag. Straightforward. Reliable. Proven.
