SOTO WindMaster 4-Flex Stove

Product Information

Narrow burner heads and focused flames often lead to scorched oatmeal in the center and a lukewarm goop around the edges. The WindMaster is among a small cadre of small canister stoves that could boil water in our fan test — and reasonably fast, to boot. Hugely versatile with superb performance in poor conditions using either liquid fuel or canister gas. The Windmaster’s regulator is compatible with gas mixtures such as butane and isobutane, but not with 100% propane. When comparing an integrated canister stove with a small canister stove, remember that your camping cookware should be included for the comparison.

I live in the Blue Ridge mountains and am constantly dealing with cold weather and gusting winds, I took the stove outback fired it up and was able to get a boil in 21/2 minutes and a roaring boil in 31/2 without a lid and 28 oz of water, all in 38* and gusting winds of 35 mph . Weight At first, Windmaster seems heavier since it is bigger, BUT when TRIFLEX pot support is attached Windmaster weighs 0. We evaluated stoves based on cost, ease of lighting, weight, packed dimensions, burner pot support, simmer performance, maximum gas flow rate, 2-cup 72°F water boil time, average wind boil time at 1, 2, and 4 mph wind speeds and fuel efficiency. Soto Windmaster and Amicus stoves are an excellent choices for anyone looking for a reliable, lightweight, and efficient stove. MSR's WindBurner is a high efficiency stove system impervious to wind providing a lightweight option that packs small and saves fuel.Windmaster‘s pot support is not attached to the stove, which actually is even better since it offers you the versatility of choosing the suitable pot support depending on your trip.

Soto Windmaster Review | Tested by GearLab

MSR has added a piezo to the PocketRocket line on the Deluxe, though its performance was semi-inconsistent. I have been using my Jetboil for more than 10 years and even when I unscrewed the cannister slowly I never experienced a leak like this. The boil times were just a few seconds longer than the MSR PocketRocket Deluxe but the better overall fuel efficiency of the Soto Windmaster and the ability to change out pot stands makes the Soto WindMaster the winner.We believe this is one of the best upright stoves available and certainly lives up to all the awards it has received since its launch. Most American backpackers are shifting to canister stoves because of their lighter weight and ease of use. The Soto Amicus stove is a highly efficient, lightweight, and low-profile stove designed for backpacking and camping. These competitive specs ought to make the Windmaster an extremely attractive option for lightweight adventurers who still want the convenience of cooking on gas.
