today on Steve Robb reviews well what I'm doing I'm gonna review this gas stove I've never had one
of these before I think they're really cool I did not know how inexpensive these cylinders were and
they last a long time I'm gonna go over all this but the first thing we're going to do is we're
gonna open this thing up and see what it looks like inside well this is it right here and it
comes in a nice little case and I think it's just terrific I'm gonna take all that wrapping off I'm
gonna show you how easy these cylinders go in and I'm going to be doing this the first time like you
would if you were to purchase one of these now if you're taking a look at purchasing one of these
I'm gonna give you some tips on where to buy them where to buy the cylinders and I'm gonna tell you
something about these gas stoves that I found was quite incredible so let's take a look next
and see how these gas cylinders go in well let's start right here if you can take a look here all
these stoves all seem to come made exactly the same with this lever that goes down and you've
got your gas control here and your igniter down here now this is how it shipped like this but
that's not how you use it and I'll just show you something you see that little leg in there
that's meant to interfere with this leg here if you actually try to put this on upside down
so if you try to put it on like this no it's not going to work like that it's meant to go like this
and of course you know you can see where it's got the supports here where you would put your frying
pan on so that's very well engineered like that and let's just take a look in here and you can
see this little bit of a tab here and this tab is meant to correlate with the tab on your gas
cylinder so you just take the gas cylinder cap off and we just put it in here like this and set
it right there close the lid and press down on this lever now I'll open it up to show you what
it does and what it's doing is its pushing the gas canister towards the front which locks it in right
here now there's many safety features on these different but there's one thing that I really
don't like about this one particular is it's got this raised edge here you see this a little bit of
a lip and it's not really made to hook in anywhere but it's just meant to sit there I guess that's
all right I don't know but that's way it is right there now let's start it up and let's see what it
looks like because the lever is down and all we have to do now is just start it okay I'm starting
this the first time for me operating one of these and so far it's been I think pretty simple to set
up and all they say is you move the dial from here to here and here's the automatic igniter
and there we go I mean it's as simple as that and I'll give it a little close-up of the flame
and see what it looks like well that's the flame right there and you've got your adjusting knob I
got lights turned on so you could actually see the flame and I got the adjusting knob while that goes
down real low and there it is up high there here it is real low I like it I like it a lot but I'm
going to tell you a couple of things that I do not like about this and let's get to that right
now so here's the instructions right here and as you can see it says this stove is equipped for use
with butane gas only do not attempt to operate this stove at temperatures below freezing 32
degrees Fahrenheit well if any of you noticed as soon as I use the start on it this panel kind of
clicked up you know this ain't in there the best I guess you could kind of twist it to make it
to sit there properly but you know that kind of stuff drives me nuts where this is just kind of
sitting up like that I mean it's no big deal but you know if you play around with it long enough I
guess it'll stay in there but I don't like that at all but generally yeah this thing starts on
a dime really and that's all you really need and yeah it goes down really really really low which
I like now this particular one is less than 8 thousand BTUs so I'm gonna explain to you why I
picked this one over the other ones and where you should get this well where should you buy one of
these I'll tell you what I bought this one here I bought on Amazon and I paid twenty seven dollars
plus tax and later I found out yeah you can find them a lot cheaper in a lot other places and I
found one place that was absolutely by far the best $15 now same as the gas cylinders I paid two
dollars and fifty cents for a gas cylinder around the world yeah some places like my buddy from New
Zealand said he gets three four five bucks well this one here is just marketed as Martin and you
know what I seen them at Costco Business Center I don't know if regular Costco sells them or not
but it was around this almost the same price as New Zealand just a little higher than five
dollars for three of these cylinders instead of 250 apiece that I paid and these stoves $15 so I
think Costco is the best price that I've seen so far but you got to shop around look online I paid
a little too much for this and the only thing that bugs me is that door this thing here well
you know what I'm gonna come up with a little bit of a fix for that just a little tiny like
a wing nut we'll just swing over and keep that thing flat because that will just drive me snaky
okay so thanks for joining me here today if you haven't seen this channel before you're welcome
to subscribe go see a lot more stuff like this in the future and I'm gonna make this summer up
at my camp in Northern Ontario a special dish on this and the reason why I bought this one
compared to the other models and you'll find them going from this one here is still under 8,000 BTU
all the way up to 15,000 BTU while you're going to use three times the gas right I mean why you
so much gas I mean what are you heating I mean you're only putting a fry pan on there most or
heating up a kettle or some water or something I mean the higher the BTU the more - are going
to use so I asked a friend of mine who has one of these and he said he gets an hour and a half
maybe almost an hour and 45 minutes out of one of these cylinders on high so I'm looking forward to
testing up myself and see how long and still under lasts but I'm saying I like this idea noting is
yeah it's a deal breaker for a lot of people you can't use this you know in freezing temperatures
below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and that's a deal-breaker for a lot of people and but for
most people for me off of my cabin up in Northern Ontario this is gonna work out just great Cheers
