I like it! The $130 would be worth paying. The form factor is what sells me and the copper heating device as well. I have a two-burner Eureka stove in my van and it takes up too much space. I have backpacking stoves but the height factor is not feasible. This Snow Peak would fit my needs. Thank you, Luke!
Luke I did buy this stove for $120 I feel $90 would be more fair. I agree with everything else you said. I did make a small mid gauge screen so I could put a smaller cup on it...works good. Thanks for sharing your videos. Jake McClellan The Oregon Boy 👦
Thank you.for the review. When I went on to the Snow Peak site, they include a caution to NOT use a cast iron pan, as their radiant heat causes problems with the fuel canister. They then offered a covered, aluminum cook pot for about $140. That’s about $110 too much. The unit has some limitations that seem unreasonable. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

@@jackvoss5841 the are a lot of good stoves out there for sure. Yet I’m surprised you have found a single burner that doesn’t have a radiant heat issue when used with cast iron. What’s your current stove set up?
I have seen others do tests on this and other butane stoves and the one thing most have in common is the low "setting" isn't low it's off. That being said I like the "warming plate" under the gas canister.
If it’s too heavy for backpacking my $40 duel fuel single burner is all I need for car camping and doesn’t have those problems. Thanks for showing it off!
Looks nice. I like the folding design. Luke, your right it should come with a bag or case for the price. And the lack of English instructions is also odd. Also that’s some serious dedication to testing a stove! Thanks for review.
they kinda big at Japan, kinda have it's own ecosystem, also have events where you can with other fellow snow peakers..... and bring whole family. Kinda understandable why they don't really spend much effort on overseas market, but it would be easy to add something little more extra
I remember seeing, and liking, this stove in some of your other videos. I really like the design and stability. I think $130 is not a bad price for such a well-designed and compact stove. I would, however, expect the carrying case to be included. Great job as usual, Luke!
I am not physically able to go camping, but enjoy your videos greatly. In your description box there is mentioned a vlog I watch a lot. You should check out the steaks she uses. They have a hook on the top to hold guy lines, easy to put in and take out.
Compared to the Jetboil price, I like this stove. It may be a very good addition to my larger two burner stove for use traveling between camps. Thanks Luke. Stay safe and God bless.
I have a lot of respect for Japanese craftsmanship. When it's good, it's really good. My field knife is a Japanese hand forged knife and it's the best knife I will probably ever own. I'll be looking at Snow Peak gear for a few of the items I will need to rely on the most in the field. Thanks for another great review. Strength and honor!
Great review. Sure it's pricey but I usually prefer to buy once instead of every two months. Was actually looking for an emergency home stove and this one seems to fit perfectly. Thank you Luke 💖
I like the stove, the form factor makes it easily transportable and protects the stove ring and igniter when in transit. Dual fuel options would make more versatile (butane/propane). For the $$$ yes it should come with a case or carry case with a pouch for spare fuel. The opening and closing could be easily addressed, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to add small wind break fins that fold down off the pot supports, like wise have a way to have some adjustments to the pot supports to help with smaller pots/cups. For me …. The price is the biggest concern, get it down to around $90 and this could be a good viable option for many, not a backpacking stove as it is, but they could change the materials and make a skeleton version out of titanium, which could more than half the weight, yes the price would be more$$$$. Interesting and different stove, a few tweaks could make this a GREAT one.. superb review Luke, thanks for your time buddy.
Pretty nice stove easy to carry and use. Price is almost what I paid for my white gas MSR stove but I do agree that the carry case should be included along with English instruction.
It seems like it is a good stove. The issue I have is that there are other good butane stoves out there, and although this one is more compact, your use cases are still relegated to Rv, car/suv, and motorcycle/bike camping. For most of these use cases, only motorcycle/bike camping makes sense to get this stove due to it’s compact size. All other cases I would get a bulkier one that has a better simmer control and possibly one that allows for smaller cups to be used. Saving $$ on another model is also of growing importance in this economy.
Another con for me after personally using it, is the way the butane connects to the stove. It tends to pop out when i try to close the stove cover. To the point i just dont bother to close it just so i do not disrupt the fuel connection
As an Aussie that watches these videos I love the variety of products shown but I do cringe at the prices when I think of the exchange rate, my south pacific "peso" just does not stretch so far. I do get loads of good advice and tips for products I can get here regarding what to look out for etc. Great channel.
Another OUTSTANDING review Luke! Your list of cons are a show stopper for me, especially given the amount of nice butane stoves available at a 1/4 of that price tag. I also noticed its made in Korea, but Snow Peak is a Japanese company. (2.57 in video)
Once upon a time, there was 2 types of people. Those who vacationed in a hotel at the shore....and those who went camping because it was so less expensive. That's not true anymore. Camping gear is out of control these days due to its popularity. Thanks for the review my friend!
I like the stove and would purchase if I was in the market for one due to the form factor. However, I already have the typical $30 square butane stove that has been dependable. Thanks Luke!
I have a BRS copy of this stove, it did come with a neoprene case but I had to buy the copper heating plate separately - it’s a loose item that you manually install (very simple) when tempature drops. It seems really nicely made - not Snowpeak quality but still good and it was less than half the price.
Thanks for the nice overview! Just wanted to let you know that Snowpeak has this on their website for $150 with a bag. 😉 Also- those isobutane canisters are sometimes difficult to find and can’t be shipped by air. Getting a 5 pound cylinder of propane is a lot cheaper and lasts the whole summer with heavy use. I really like the size of this though…bummer!
Thanks for another great review, and an honest one! Appreciate you dude ❤ I would agree that the price is too much, but it works great as a drive-to or short walk in camping situation.
a comparson to the various other similar folding butane stoves out there i think would be nice, Is it really worth the near double the price of the competitors?
I like this stove and it's worth the cost especially when you are looking for something that is large enough to do the cooking you would want without being too big and as for heating up a cup of water I have a smaller stove for that and just need something a little larger to do a one pot meal.
I still like the similar Soto G S320 stove that Luke has used many times. It costs about half of the Snow Peak but same great quality. The copper heating arm is cool, but not for the huge price difference. Its easy to add a copper Moulder strip to most single burner camp stoves.
This is a stove that could benefit from a side-by-side comparison with other lightweight folding stoves. There are a few on the market that have different form factors. Are some of them weaker burners? Which ones are strong enough to allow for full pots from heavier materials? Which ones are stable under load?
When I first came to Japan back in 1991 (I'm still here), table-top butane stoves were something new to me. They had yet to make it overseas. The traditional and original use for them was in the home, on a dining table with a large clay pot on top with either a 'shabu-shabu', 'sukiyaki' or Japanese hotpot inside that people around the table would all help themselves too. The camping boom of the 1990s saw people starting to take them outside as well. Since these are so ubiquitous here in Japan, the main advantage of them is that the gas canisters are sold everywhere. From DIY shops, supermarkets and convenience stores. As you point out, they do have their limitations when used outdoors. The SnowPeak design is excellent, however I am shocked that they do not provide English instructions in the USA. The Japanese are immediately up in arms if there is no Japanese instructions or 'tori-setsu' (取説) included. Hypocrisy much. FYI: 'Tori-setsu' is a colloquialism and abbreviation of the Japanese equivalent of 'instructions book/user manual' etc. It derives from the long-winded 'Tori-atsukai Setsumei-sho' (取扱説明書).
For heating up food/water in smaller pots or cups a small 4" X 4" square grate to place them on would help. Yes, it another item to pack but better to have when needed than not have.
The GasOne GS-8300 Spyder is very similar and almost a third of the price. It works great. However, it does not have the copper heater thingy. It also comes with a case.
A tent stove is perhaps the no. 1 item to make living in the backwoods comfy. The one that seems to get the best reviews is the G-Stove, but its expensive and hard to find now, I have given up on stoves with a window in the side - way too many problems and go black so easy. This is not easy to deal with because of expense. Right now the G-Stove looks best to me. Any chance of a video on proper tent stoves with a chimney?
“Ouch” regarding the price and this stove for the most part looks nice enough for outdoor cooking but I’d rather have something not so complicated to set up. Although it’s nice to have for large skillet and meals. But I don’t see myself purchasing this stove if I have cheaper options. As always great review Luke
Luke! Why have I never seen you review Coleman's 533 Dual Fuel Single Burner white gas stove? It's certainly not any bigger than this nor any bulkier to transport considering the fuel. Please give this some thought as I just bought a Coleman this week! Bill from Hewitt, NJ
My Eureka SPRK+ stove is half that cost and does have the heat transfer plate as well. It is also has a very high build quality and has a higher BTU rating.
It's very nice although not a patch on my Coleman Sportster 533 duel fuel. Yes, it requires maintenance but, it's solidly built and economical to run. Why don't you review one?
What about on a hot day? Does the heat transfer warm the canister too much? Those cans are made with blow out safety vents for a reason. Can you easily disable the heat transfer system? If not, their rev 2 stove should let you pivot the warm plate away from the canister. Arizona has about 9 months of summer, so this issue is quite important. Overall, it seems like a way to shrink the size of your Jeep shtf kit, but at a cost. At around $60, I can get a quality 12,000 BTU rectangular butane stove with a propane adapter.
I like how this video coincides with the new Transformers movie🤣 And yea, for $130 I would straight up be insulted if they not only didn't include a storage bag but expected me to buy one separately.
I'm not sure who this is marketed at apart from motorbike campers. It's too heavy to backpack, and if you have a car, then cheaper square Coleman style ones are fine. This saves some space, but I'm surprised how heavy it is.
Since I own this stove and since cons that I have experienced weren't covered in this review I'll add my two cents. This stove has two potential problems that may catch you with your pants down and both are related to gas canister attachment system. The thing is some canisters are made from metal that is not very magnetic and so there's no way you going to make such canisters to attach since this stove it using magnet. Another issue is with their "safety mechanism" and it's rather common problem that I experienced as well. There's little safety pin that tends to make canister disconnect randomly. I had to completely remove it and ever since attachment was rock solid for me. That being said you still need canister that is made from a fairly ferromagnetic metal or else it won't hold.
nice stove, but cannot beat my 1950/60s Stesco petrol stove, lights when it is cold, hot, and windy :), and you never run out of fuel, always have petrol cars knocking around :)
I was thinking 120 would be a fair price but assumed it would be like 200 haha. Glad it’s 120-130. This really seems like the stove I’ve been looking for. I want something to put in the trunk of my vehicle for both camping and saving money while doing Uber! Cookouts and coffee making in the airport parking lot😅. I was initially concerned that it was butane, but it seems like they’ve handled that problem with the copper plate. I thought of using a Jetboil but I sold mine and don’t want to buy another. My hiking kit just isn’t good for car camping or trying to cook literally anything.
As a kayakker that does long distances and overnight camping I think it's a little too big/heavy for my goals, but I quite like it. Honestly, while the price is a lot (and I'd probably have to pay even more as a West European), but I think the market and consciousness of consumers has been flooded with cheap junk. There are some genuinely good and cheap items, but the vast majority is just crap to truly be "consumed" (and then thrown away). From clothes, to appliances, from camping gear to tools. We ought to appreciate actual quality again. (No seriously, even in 'frugal' the Netherlands where Americans experience the remnants of our calvanistic roots and learn to not just buy two new jackets every season we throw away so much junk clothes that the local/national Salvation Army just has to burn most of it as it's 1) too much and 2) usually junk. And that makes me sad)
Those stoves are in many sporting goods stores over here. It does seem overly difficult to close and over-priced when I looked at one first hand. Recently I saw a "transformer" heater/stove online -probably from China. It looks like the heater is in the same class as that smallest butane heater you use for truck camping. To transform to a stove, the heater just tilts back on its base until the burner is parallel with the ground 🙃. It would be cool to see a review on that for the novelty factor and to cut through some dubious Amazon reviews. Anyhow, the stove heater combos look interesting. I've seen Chinese knockoff of this Snow Peak for about 40 USD, so I doubt I'll be picking up a Snow peak, regardless of quality difference.
Nothing cheap about Snow Peak products, even their chop sticks are expensive... With that said, you do get well thought out and quality equipment that is highly regarded in Japan. I have several items from this company and they all perform well, also not being Chinesium is a plus. I don't need this stove as I have too many as it is but it would be a nice addition to a gear stash.
Re- english instructions. I recently purchased one from a large outdoor co-op and it came w/3 substantial instruction booklets in 3 different languages, including english.
You get what you pay for and I appreciate the Snow Peak products. Haven’t had any issues with their products. Outstanding engineering & durability.
I like it! The $130 would be worth paying. The form factor is what sells me and the copper heating device as well. I have a two-burner Eureka stove in my van and it takes up too much space. I have backpacking stoves but the height factor is not feasible. This Snow Peak would fit my needs. Thank you, Luke!

The thing is some canisters are made from metal that is not very magnetic and so there's no way you going to make such canisters to attach since this stove it using magnet.
Another issue is with their "safety mechanism" and it's rather common problem that I experienced as well. There's little safety pin that tends to make canister disconnect randomly.
I had to completely remove it and ever since attachment was rock solid for me. That being said you still need canister that is made from a fairly ferromagnetic metal or else it won't hold.
Now put that copper plate in the suitcase stoves. Best seller 🎉🎉🎉
Hey Luke, does this mean you have to use up all the butane before you can pack it up?
I got this stove and it is excellent and the drawback is only slightly heavy and it is not suitable for backpack camping.
nice stove, but cannot beat my 1950/60s Stesco petrol stove, lights when it is cold, hot, and windy :), and you never run out of fuel, always have petrol cars knocking around :)
I was thinking 120 would be a fair price but assumed it would be like 200 haha. Glad it’s 120-130. This really seems like the stove I’ve been looking for. I want something to put in the trunk of my vehicle for both camping and saving money while doing Uber! Cookouts and coffee making in the airport parking lot😅. I was initially concerned that it was butane, but it seems like they’ve handled that problem with the copper plate.
I thought of using a Jetboil but I sold mine and don’t want to buy another. My hiking kit just isn’t good for car camping or trying to cook literally anything.
I would be interested in how this compares with the GasOne 8300 folding unit. Same form factor. Comes with a case. $50..so a much better price.
Snow Peak but,,,, made in Korea. Well mine is anyway. Good quality stove!!
That unlock peg does need to be an actual " BUTTON " and it should come with a bag or case for that price - but overall i like this stove
As a kayakker that does long distances and overnight camping I think it's a little too big/heavy for my goals, but I quite like it.
Honestly, while the price is a lot (and I'd probably have to pay even more as a West European), but I think the market and consciousness of consumers has been flooded with cheap junk.
There are some genuinely good and cheap items, but the vast majority is just crap to truly be "consumed" (and then thrown away). From clothes, to appliances, from camping gear to tools. We ought to appreciate actual quality again.
(No seriously, even in 'frugal' the Netherlands where Americans experience the remnants of our calvanistic roots and learn to not just buy two new jackets every season we throw away so much junk clothes that the local/national Salvation Army just has to burn most of it as it's 1) too much and 2) usually junk. And that makes me sad)
Luke what are the frying pans being used please?
Love how it folds but to expensive for a stove
I got the same from the brand Dhaulagiri only for 30$± and came with the bag 😊
Can you share a link to where it can be purchased? I did a search for it and did not find anything. Thx!
Mmm I think it looks like a great idea but I don’t think the cons outweighs the price tag! I still prefer your Soto cassette stove.
Those stoves are in many sporting goods stores over here. It does seem overly difficult to close and over-priced when I looked at one first hand. Recently I saw a "transformer" heater/stove online -probably from China. It looks like the heater is in the same class as that smallest butane heater you use for truck camping. To transform to a stove, the heater just tilts back on its base until the burner is parallel with the ground 🙃. It would be cool to see a review on that for the novelty factor and to cut through some dubious Amazon reviews. Anyhow, the stove heater combos look interesting. I've seen Chinese knockoff of this Snow Peak for about 40 USD, so I doubt I'll be picking up a Snow peak, regardless of quality difference.
Nothing cheap about Snow Peak products, even their chop sticks are expensive... With that said, you do get well thought out and quality equipment that is highly regarded in Japan. I have several items from this company and they all perform well, also not being Chinesium is a plus. I don't need this stove as I have too many as it is but it would be a nice addition to a gear stash.
Jap ripoff
You sound like me.
Last weekend I took my old out of the box Olympus stove. Backpacking up the mountain. Just because it has sat for decades, unused.
@@billpetersen298 Nice!
Re- english instructions. I recently purchased one from a large outdoor co-op and it came w/3 substantial instruction booklets in 3 different languages, including english.
