I think that copper-colored plate is a thermal plate which helps keep the butane canister warm while in use. Canister stoves are notorious for losing pressure when the get cold (e.g., using a high flame--gas empties the canister, causing cooling--especially if you're outdoors on a cool day). The better Japanese butane stoves have started incorporating thermal plates which conduct heat from the burner to the underside of the fuel canister. Doesn't get hot--just warm enough to keep the canister from losing pressure.

That is a really cool designed stove. I wouldn't put it in my pack, but I think it might be good for a car camp.

That kind of adjustability is uncommon in small stoves. And sturdy enough for a cast iron skillet! I like it.

I think the "shielding" that you mentioned is actually there to transmit heat to the butane canister. Some of the new butane stoves now have that to make the stove burn the last couple of ounces of fuel more efficiently. When the older stoves got near empty they would have a small flame that would last forever. Not good of you're trying to boil something, but don't want to throw away an almost empty bottle.

Being incredibly compact, this would be perfect for motorcycle camping I think.

Wow, this is a nice stove.👍👍

Great video. One word of caution, your 2nd pan is a little too big that could result in a gas explosion. Heat from larger pan will over heat the canister, I've seen it happen. Just to let you know. Thanks

I really enjoyed the stove review + "Cooking with Ernie" time. I've got one of the GasOne GS-8300 style stoves and honestly it's pretty good. I like that it has its own little plastic case to protect it. But this little Snow Peak stove is even more compact since it is contoured to the shape of a can. Very cool stuff.

Review the Coleman 533 sportster…..epic prepper and car camper stove. Reliable, easy to work on, great flame control and a good price point……also made in America still!

I love it that you said it is not the cooking channel. Loool! I bet you get critiqued on your cooking skills. Nice to remind. :-) Thank you for showing the stove. You are my first go to to find out about camping equipment. It's good that you mentioned that it was strong as my husband is a chef and he always like to show off by banging the pan on a stove to loosen the pancake or whatever food he is cooking. Difficult if the stove can't take that abuse and just for boiling water.

Chef Ernie!!!!! I love it - great recipe. gonna try these soon!

This video made me hungry lol!

Love snow peak gear. Quality pieces.

Enjoyed the cooking demo, definitely more interesting than watching water boil 😄. (actually I like watching water boil too 😊)

Whoah! Cool!!!!

Thanks so much for the review...very helpful. Aloha, John

I like to sprinkle Louisiana Fish Fry Products Cajun Seasoning on Plantains.

🌲🦅🌲 thank you for sharing stay safe out there🎥

The brass strip is to exchange heat to the canister so when the canister starts to get cold from releasing fuel it will keep it warm. You can see it inside the canister compartment,,

Awesome stove👍🏽and good recipes!!! With so many stoves how about a giveaway????❤️love your subscribers surly several of us would appreciate it.... thanks for all your great reviews....😷

Coleman two burner mutifuel is the standard for home and car camping. I can use fuel from just about anything. Good luck finding butane in a grid down.

I have seen a number of camping channels from Japan showing the Snow Peak Home & Camp Burner. One of the common problems that I see is that it doesn't work very well with small hiking/backpacking cookware. I've watched チャラCAMP channel trying to use the small Snow Peak Titanium Trek pots and they fall off the pot supports of the Home & Camp burner if he's not careful. Larger pots, pans, and skillets would seem to be a requirement for this stove. OR it need an additional grate or grill net to set small pans on. But, considering the weight of the stove, most people would probably not take it for a solo outing anyway, and would opt for the smaller and lighter GigaPower Stove or LiteMax Titanium stove. I do have a Gas One GS-3900P Butane/Propane stove, and it hasn't given me any trouble. I've only used Butane in it so far, but I do like it a lot. I've used a smaller cast iron skillet on it without a problem. The pot stand has 4 points of contact rather than 3 like the Home & Camp Burner.

Thanks Ernie - good review. Have you considered testing the two burner car camping stoves? They seem a better choice for emergency use as you can connect to a large propane tank.

I've watched several videos on this stove over the past 2 years. This is the first time the thing did NOT blow up! Not all canisters of that design will work. They look the same as other brands, but not all of them seal the same. Bad seal leads to bad leak and POOF! Also noted on similar aspect, the locking mechanism doesn't always grip the canister properly, creating a bad seal and POOF. It was nice to finally see a demonstration/review of this without the need of a fire extinguisher on the first attempt. I always admired the sturdiness of it, as it can handle cast iron better than others on the market. It's just the issue with getting a good seal that concerns me. I'm not blaming the stove entirely, though. I believe the problem lies with the manufacturing of the canisters by different brands. Cheap quality on tolerances?? All I know is that they all had a problem with a leak, resulting in a fire. Some canisters didn't stay attached and the ones that did stay tended to have a leak. Myself, I don't use butane. I'm more of a wood or alcohol stove type of person. Although, I do have an old-school Coleman propane single burner that I use whenever someone gives me their unused tanks they no longer want or need. I don't go out of my way to purchase unnecessary items like that. Wood is abundant and I have access to plenty of 190 Proof hand sanitizer. lol

I like it ALOT

Loving your channel. I am from the UK and am disabled so camping/hiking is not really for me. However I have started to put a stove collection together and I do love doing the "boil test" Looking forward to many more stove reviews to give me more inspiration for the collection. .

Well designed stove and seems to be well built too. Great backup stove in the event of power outage. It would be nice as a car camper type stove too.... Too heavy for backpacking but seems obvious. I do not think it is designed for that at all. Nice product. TY MH

Great review. I've never seen this type stove.

Not gonna lie; I don't need yet another stove.. :p But, stayed for the cooking!

Anything from Snow Peak is great quality (and expensive lol). In most of South East Asia, you can find the non collapsible versions which are about the same size of your chopping board for around $20-$40. I use my Kovea Spider with an adapter to take those fat catridges which are common and super cheap here. If that stove is made in Korea, I would not be surprised if it was made by Kovea, who make excellent stoves.

It's funny you mentioned the "salt police". Have you read The Salt Fix? Might be interesting as a medical professional. Great video! It's great to see how people can use their stoves. Much more interesting than boiling water I think, though there is a lot of value in the data you provide.

I think you will love the geoshield stove. As well as the Soto Stormbreaker. Both are a little more expensive but amazing. Like you already do know, sometimes a larger stove is good. But you also know that gas and butane are wonderful for colder climates, you need liquid fuel. The stormbreaker is great for that. I think your cheated, and use cast iron. Lol. But cooking with these stoves in butane mode do you have a lot of versatility with the managing of the heat. With the white gas, you don’t have as much versatility usually, but with a little patience, you can even simmer with MSR stoves.

From Snow Peak UK 🇬🇧 ".Do not use cast iron, ceramic, or stone cookware on the Home & Camp Burner as the radiant heat produced by these cookware items can cause the fuel canister to unexpectedly heat up" When I saw this I thought this should be good for a Dutch Oven or cast frying pan. Never mind.

a real man loves his stoves all night long

Get some sound deading for the studio , works really good for cars and such

Nice stove Dr. Ernie; I still like the square butane stoves better (less moving parts) and used one in a small off the grid trailer for several years when it was too nasty to cook outside on my tin can hobo wood stove. Thanks for another great review on another great stove.

i use a butane adapter on my remote canister stoves to save money. I do like that burner design.

On a stove with a small diameter flame patten, I often use tin can lids under the pan as a heat spreader. Lids of a couple or three sizes suffice for various sized pans. This stove looks like something that would be handy at an omelette station at a brunch? Courtesy of Half Vast Flying.

Amazon link can be misleading on the price. Snow Peak’s website has it for $110

I seen gas one has one for $50, only draw is that it's but over 5lbs, so even heavier than this one

I have two Iwatani 35FW butane stoves as an emergency stove at home and one for camping, it produces 15,000 BTU

Thanks for the in depth review on this. Do you know how long an 8 oz canister lasts?

Hey Ernie, which one is better when it comes to micro regulation of the flame, The Snow Peak GS600 or the SOTO Regulator stove ST-310? Which one of them do you think will perform better once the canister is getting low? I'm thinking of buying either one of those for car camping and home use as I only have a flat stove at home, bummer. I wouldn't mind the probably less stable small diameter of the Soto ST-310's legs, if it's flame regulator is better than the Snowpeak's. Thank you!! Loving your videos!

Hey Ernie new subscriber here love the channel thanks for all the work you do in these videos! Could you do a video for canister stoves and canteen cups ? I know a lot of the canister stoves don’t really have the proper base for a canteen cup. I would love to see you do a video on the topic thank you very much Cheers from 🇨🇦

Hi. If you should choose Just One stove Just one wich one do you pick it up?

Is 'smoosh' a PR term? :-) But, yum!. A cooking show! I'm vegetarian so these tostones(?) are perfect. Sort of a deep fat fry. Oh, yeah, crispy.

Great review. Could you do one on the OPTIMUS Gemini Double Burner Stove? [If you haven't already.] Would like to hear your thoughts on this stove. Thanks

more cooking and stoves

Hi, looking for wok burner and saw your video. Is it true that this burner has 333 btu max output?

Question: Would this stove be economical for someone living out of a van and using it multiple times a day?Great video I would make a sweet coconut cream for dipping!

I'm a big believer in 2 burner stoves. I live in maine and butane is just not a great option due to temperature. Would love to see some classic two burner propane comparisons duel fuel etc. Speaking of which I feel like you need to include white gas stoves more often. Just some thoughts keep up the great work.

What do you mean 'emergency dtove'? I'm going to use this on a daily basis because it's just nice to have a table top burner for boiling water for tea.

How long would that small fuel canister last?

Hey Paleo Thanks for posting your youtube on SnowPeak GS-600 i was looking for the stove. it is the great review on the stove. What would be you choice GS-6- vs GS-8300 you know all the pro and con for both stove.

Hey Ernie,,, this is the 2nd time you’ve reviewed THIS Type of Canister Stove. What I want to know is how long will (1) canister last,,,approximately. Thanks,,, Joshua

Hey there, I'm not sure if you look at older comments and questions, but I hope so. I recently purchased one of these stoves as a type of compliment to my Gas One butane dual fuel stove that I take car camping. I thought this Snow Peak would be great on my kayak camps as well. However, Snow Peak does say in the manual that ONLY SNOW PEAK butane cans should be used because the lip is configured somehow differently than other butane canisters. They say other butane would be unsafe. I wondered if you've only used snow peak brand butane with this or if you've used other canisters. Often, I don't even read a manual thoroughly if I've used a similar product in the past. This really caught my attention and I wondered what your opinion is? I often purchase cans of butane from WalMart or even Ace Hardware if I'm away from home on a road trip. I've seen Snow Peak brand at REI for a decent price....$2.89 or something like that. Any thoughts on using other brands with this stove?

‘This isn’t a cooking channel “… (becomes a cooking channel)

Snowpeak home and camp or the jetboil halfgen?

A great review but it does seem a high price for what it is (despite the great design). When checking for the pricing on Amazon you can see that there are already Chinese copies popping up for about $50. I think I will stick to the simpler butane stoves that come in their own plastic carry case.

So where did you learned to cook tostones and bistec ensebollado ? Where are you from ? I love your channel. I am from Puerto Rico ....

Where can it be found in bangladesh

I too am a stoveaholic, but as I am on a budget, I rather enjoy watching your reviews. Cheers! I’d love to see more of your antique collection. The SVEA123 is a great start. ;)

august 10,2021 price has jumped to 150!

Thank you 👍. Just clicked on your link to Amazon to purchase, but it’s $153, not the $110 you mentioned. Am I missing something?

Paleo MD cook

Would be nicer is the flame was more spread out

And you are officially half Puertorrican. 😂

Stove is now $152.

Awesome cool stove but NOT for 152$..AMAZON... I'll stick with my gas one stove or trangia or firebox

$150 Amazon

Designed in Japan. Made in Korea. And then... by China. 🙊🙊🙊

I like everything you review, but where do you store all your stoves. I’m a stove fan also, I must admit I’m a fan of alcohol stoves. Bulletproof and quiet, I hate gas stove noise while cooking. I live in Western Australia and 90% of what you show can’t be purchased here. Shipping to Australia ,the cost is outrageous. We are mostly stuck with crap from China. Anyway I’m going to subscribe to your channel, I like what you do. Look out for that crazy Biden who is going to ruin your great country. Regards Robert.🤣😂
