Soto Amicus Ultra Light Gas Camping Stove

If anybody wonders why look at the YouTube Soto reviews where failure to ignite first time using the piezo igniter is a common theme. Even after the igniter had been replaced with a Soto supplied spare. I say trust your firesteel, Bic or Clipper.So i wanted a stove with a wind-resistant burner with no piezo. Good output and low simmer on a 200g half full canister. At the dimensions I like the extra support from four supports. This is a good buy though I would have liked a hard case over a bag.

I spend a huge amount of time every year out camping in the wilds, mostly using gas to cook with on various quality stoves like Primus, MSR, Optimus. This Amicus stove was bought to replace an MSR pocket rocket, which didn't fit my new Primus pot very well. I've already spent 12 days cooking on it, and am very impressed. It's well made, simmers well, very wind-resistant, fuel efficient, burns butane with a decent size flame right down to neat freezing temps. It cools down quickly, and doesn't transmit heat to the can valve like many can top burners.

In my opinion, it's the best stove in this form factor. It reminds me of the BRS 3000T in that the legs collapse down excpet this stove is larger and superior. I bought the version without the Pizo igniter so there's less to go wrong. I would buy this stove again if I needed another stove.

The Soto Amicus is a very good gas burner. It functions great in windy conditions, and is very effective indeed. The four "arms" that support the cup, pot or frying pan, holds whatever you place on top of the burner securely. The arms create a completely flat surface, which makes it very easy to position the cook wear you are using.I have tested the burner, boiling half a liter of quite cold tap water in a 750 ml titanium cup. It took just under 5 minutes to reach a vigorous rolling boil. I have used the burner several times after the boil test, and it has performed flawlessly. It is small and light, and fits inside the 750 ml cup, together with a 100 gr. gas canister. It's makes for a small, but very effective cook set.The Soto Amicus is an excellent gas burner.

Used a couple of times and it has lived up to expectations. Simmer isn't up to much but these type of stoves rarely simmer well. Only thing I can criticise is that it's a bit of a gas guzzler.

Easy to setup and use, very small, legs clip into place, feels very sturdy. Taken outside last night in Windstorm Brendan with 60mph winds, still lit easily and boiled water with a steady flame.

I bought this to replace an Optimus Crux which I found was very difficult to control to a simmer. (apparently a common problem). This is altogether a better stove, easier to control, more effective in the wind, and the four legs compared to three commonly found on other stoves, provides a more stable platform. Compact enough to fit inside a GSI Minimalist pot together with a gas canister and lighter.

Piccolo fornelletto a gas di buona fattura e di ottime prestazioni, per trekking/backpacking, con alcune caratteristiche che lo distinguono dagli altri: ha 4 sostegni pieghevoli con un blocco in posizione aperta, è di buona qualità costruttiva (rinomato produttore giapponese, non una cinesata), e soprattutto è stato progettato per offrire una buona resistenza al vento, non a livello di un Windburner/Windboiler ovviamente, ma ai vertici nella sua categoria costruttiva, anche leggermente superiore al PocketRocket. Questo è il modello OD-1NV senza accensione piezo; esiste anche il modello OD-1NVE con accensione piezo integrata "stealth", robusta e di ottima qualità. Il fornelletto è corredato di un sacchettino di trasporto in tessuto.

The stove works and looks quality made, but there are some things I am not very excited about. The regulation of the flame level is too sensitive. You turn the regulator a little and the flame changes a lot. I know Soto sells other models with "imoroved regulator" of the flame, but I think even this model with normal regulator should be not so sensitive.

La cocina es SOTO, obviamente un producto de calidad. Pero no es la "eléctrica". La descripción era erronea.

works great, easy, secure, pot supports are attached so no separate parts to lose or store. i tested in the wind, no problem. This is the one without piezo lighter button. i'd rather light it with match manually.in a year i'll return with update review.

Got my stove fast and its perfect. Ordered this Saturday night and got it on Thursday. Came just as fast as my amazon processed stuff. Stove is more than i hoped for! It feels lighter than the stated weight and pot supports are strong and my toaks 700cup felt sturdy on it. Did a water boil out in my yard and it seemed to boil fast. Im excited to take it out this weekend. I didnt want the piezo light-i always have a bic and didnt want any futzy parts.

This thing is unbelievably small and light. It works great so far (I've used it three or four times.) Seems quite stable and seems to boil water quickly. Great little stove.

works well. Cannot speak to durability

Seems to work just fine.

I just wanted to simmer and cook food anywhere

Extremely light. folds up easy and packs small.

Leider weiß ich immer noch nicht, welche Gaskartuschen man dafür benötigt. Da ich trotz aufmerksamer Suche von Beginn an NIRGENST sah, welche Kartuschen man dafür benötigt, nahm ich an, es sei für Standardgaskartuschen. Doch da benötigt man eine Kartusche mit einem Außengewinde.Komisch: Auch in der Beschreibung beim Artikel selbst, die ich nun in der Hand habe, erfahr ich das nicht. Artikel geht zurück. :(
