Soto Amicus

I’ve also given up on absolute UL canister stoves. My general math on the matter shows that the 2 oz you save using a BRS you gain back in inefficiency of fuel pretty quickly, especially in the wind. I like my Soto amicus but [the windmaster and pocket have excellent efficiencies and work great in the wind too.

Well reviewed. Soto Amicus.

Look at this:. the winner is the soto windmaster, the budget winner the soto amicus.

I already had the MSR Whisperlite and was comparing the two stoves you're looking at. I ended up getting the Soto Windmaster with the Triflex and 4Flex supports after entirely too much research.. it's incredible. I'd also recommend looking at the Soto Amicus as it's a more apples-to-apples comparison to the Pocket Rocket.

When I go out and I know I'll simply boil water for coffee/tea/rehydrating something or cooking simple things like a pack of noodles, I bring my pot of choice and then either a SOTO Amicus, SOTO Windmaster, or the MSR Pocket Rocket 2. Brilliant pocket stoves you can stash inside your pot and work very well in windy conditions too. They are not the cheapest option you can find on Amazon, for example, but they are affordable and solid compact stoves that will last you a long time.
