Love SOTO stoves, I have the ST 310 a great stove and has been faultless in the years I have had it. The ST 340 has a few improvements, the head is a larger diameter which I prefer but in Japan they use a lot small pots for rice and noodles so it probably perfect for their use. There are loads of accessories available for those stoves such as mini tables that the stove fits in and give added protection to the gas canister and makes for small working surface to place cups and small pots. My favourite SOTO stove though is the ST 301, it’s not designed for blasting out heat but has a very large burner head that’s perfect for base camp cooking.

Great review. Definitely going to get the Soto for my next camp.

Looks like a top bit of kit thanks Andre. Would love to see a vid on your knives and what you use them for. Think I spied an Opinel in your collection. I have an Opinel and Morakniv, but need some new blades/hatchet for wood prep. Great content mate

Using Shellite as the fuel in an alcohol stove, no problem melting the stove itself?

Much prefer to see you out camping
