Iwatani Cassette Feu VA-30 Portable Butane Stove 12,000BTU

Super device! Outstanding power (3.5 kW - other comparable usually have only 1.8-2 kW)! Also, it is very compact; very convenient also the included case. Works without problems with standard MSF-1a / CP 250 227g butane cartridges The windshield is also very functional and useful! We have used the stove mostly with an 32cm iron skillet and/or a 28cm square cast iron grill pan. Fits great! Note: If you plan to use the stove with a Bialetti (THE Italian espresso pot), think about a reducer star

sehr solide Kostruktion, alles passt, keine billige Plastik sehr schöne Edelstahlausfürung in gewohnter japanischer Top- Qualität hervorragende Heizleistung. ein sehr empfehlenswetes Gerät.

Comes in a nice case, is build very sturdy and has a nice fit and finish to it. I love the bottle warmer it has so that it keeps consistent heat and power and entirely empties the can of butane. It's a little pricey but when you compare it to other brands that output 12000 BTU and have the fuel warmer (they call it the heat panel system) it is not really anymore costly. It is listed as burning for 70 minutes at full power but I have got about 2 and a half hours of burn time at the low heat output when I use it for Korean BBQ. Very efficient and easy to clean and assemble/disassemble.

Great

I live in a third world country where even a backup generator can go down when the grid fails. This device and a couple of spare canisters of fuel from Walmart will get me through anything without requiring mountains of space for storage. It has the power you need to cook just about anything. It wasn't super easy to use on the floor of my balcony outside, but it was doable and it's better than being without any means to boil water for coffee or cook food. I live in a very windy area and I ended up using it indoors next to a slightly open sliding glass window that blew outside when a different window was open, and that provided enough airflow to prevent the carbon monoxide detector from detecting anything.
