While the Snow Peak GigaPower Stove may be lacking a few of the frills from its more expensive counterparts, the bottom line is; this camping stove is light. When you think about it, isn’t all ultra light gear missing a few of the frills. I don’t think it would be ultra light hiking if they weren’t.

The Snow Peak GigaPower Stove is small enough to fit in your pocket. The entire Snow Peak GigaPower Stove packs up into a single unit about the size of two decks of cards, maybe smaller. Weighing in at only 2.5 ounces, the Snow Peak GigaPower Stove certainly ways less than a deck of cards.

Built from titanium, the Snow Peak GigaPower Stove is tough. Its also fairly easy to use. The Snow Peak GigaPower Stove works off of a manual ignition and burns hot at 10,000 BTUs. The stove even works well in the cold, operating at temperatures as low as 14F.
