Snow Peak Titanium LiteMax (Ultralight Canister Stove BATTLE!)

[@byronnorton9782]

Ernie, we, your loyal legions, do hereby dub thee now and forever more, “Dr. Stove”.

[@neemancallender9092]

I have had this stove for many years You MUST have a windshield as the stove is susceptible to even light breeze I use a thin titanium foil shield The heat control is excellent, which makes a very good cooking stove Also the stove head is quite short so it is very well balanced for larger pots When I got it the stove was much less expensive But still worth the money I highly recommend this stove

[@marktroiani5401]

You are the stove gentleman

[@massivedynamic2339]

Every time my old lady says something about how much money i spend on gear, or junk, as she calls it, I share one of your vids, and say hey i could be spending like that! Thanks!

[@roseg.15]

I’ve used the snowpeak titanium for over 5 years and it’s always had a blue flame when I use it. Sometimes I can’t even tell it’s lit until I have it on high and hear it. It packs nicely in your pot with your fuel. It was worth the price but I think I got it for 40 dollars 5 years ago using the 20 percent off coupon and my dividend at REI.

[@dave22959]

Thanks for taking on the Stove Guy Role. I have watched your videos, and used them to help in making my decision on which stove/Stoves to purchase. I make sure to let the makers know how my purchase was decided upon. Please keep up the Great job of presenting the facts.

[@georges3242]

The regular Snow Peak Gigapower is my go to canister stove. Never failed me. Everyone uses a wind shield anyway.

[@MO-xv1cz]

Good job Dr. Stove. I’m still a heavy, low tech, boring jet boil kinda guy, but I still like seeing other options.

[@SweeneyTTodd]

Never in a rush here so i'm an alcohol stove fan These stoves are going become more popular this year i predict due to the pandemic restrictions on travel , people will choose camping more than in previous years Prices will rise due to this i think Best regards Shaun

[@jamesthornton3339]

Ernie, thank you. I have been trying to find another channel where I can watch water boil. You have some big shoes to fill, but I believe you will do great things!

[@rickybritton7212]

I just understand why are Wifes don't understand, why we like all forms of Fier, I Think your more than just the Stove Guy Ernie, I always learn something new from all your content.Thank you Brother. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family and are Great Country

[@SavageVoyageur]

Love this stove, it rides in my get home pack.

[@larryn8]

My Snow Peak LiteMAX I’ve owned for seven years, always has a blue flame and lites completely every time. Fantastic for simmering. I use alcohol and woodburning stoves so having a petzel igniter is no big deal for me. You can buy a hand held MSR Petzel igniter for $10.

[@outdoorstransient1498]

Do like seeing the Snow Peak stove. My favorite for summer trips. I have many stoves as well, you have to period... Recently picked up the Soto Windmaster. Do you have one? If not, looking forward to seeing it in your line up Stove Guy. Until next time...Terry

[@joeconnell1396]

Thanks, Dr. Stove. With all these canister stoves in use, could you conduct an exhaustive review of wind screens? Best would the various designs from DIY, non-manufacturer/model specific (some of us have multiple stoves), to high-end ultralight.

[@EscapeVelo]

Snow Peak's burner design does particularly well at high altitudes. That's it's calling card.

[@lawrencefieselman3803]

Ernie, men just have to do what men have to do. We can't help it. So I'm behind you 100% in your continued purchases of the various stoves. I can't help myself, either. Perhaps its a disease? I don't know. But it could be worse. What if our addiction was Harley-Davidson motorcycles? On second thought, that wouldn't be so bad, either!

[@m.hernandez1404]

Yes, I too have the stove fever.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I think we need a support group. Stoves Anonymous. Group hug everyone!

[@joanfos4890]

I watch you for more than just stoves😊. But I like your stoves too👍

[@lakorai2]

Light eh? You should buy and review the Fire Maple and Olicamp titanium stoves. Their FMS-166t is the same as the Optimus Crux but less than 2oz. They also have the lightest remote canister stove on the market, the Fire Maple Blade 2. 4.5oz, has a generator loop (so it can be used in liquid feed inverted mode) and large pot legs for large pot support. 3oz lighter than the Optimus Vega.

[@redsorgum]

Hiram Cook...💪🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@noelbyrne3410]

I think that you're a worthy continuation of Hyrams legasy, Ernie, is there an word of him by the way?

[@jlastre]

The cost of the two stoves (litemax and pocket rocket) are the same now on Amazon. I personally bought mine on sale many years ago when it first came out. The MSR is far more popular. I also have the Gigapower auto. But I have the MSR whisperlight international. I usually get the best I can and if something costs less but is about the same I go for that.

[@sio2ch.168]

One thing to note about Titanium is that it gets discoloration from the heat. Once use, the surface will takes on a rainbow burnt mark. Some people care some dont.

[@jheighten7568]

Excellent intro. She don’t understand 😂

[@bazza1carter]

I'd be interested in seeing a wind test of these stoves. I have several Snow Peak products and they are premium quality, and with a price to match! I always pack a windshield with a canister stove. That said a stoves inherent wind resistance will improve that sort of set up.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I have found none that are truly suited for real winds. Always bring your wind shield no matter what the manufacturer says. If nothing else, you can loan it to a friend in need at camp, in exchange for a beer of course.

[@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193]

I enjoy your stove specific reviews, so I can appreciate your unofficial handle. Generically speaking, is snow peak the best value for titanium ultralight gear?

[@jasonh.8362]

Being as I don't own anything Snow peak I can't speak to quality or performance, but I do own the amicus and windmaster and on design alone I think they would be hard to beat. Windmaster will hold a blue flame when I think canister is empty. Great vijeo, Hiram was awesome!

[@jakesegars]

The way the burner is set up, I wonder if this would be a better simmer cooking stove than most other “fast boil” stoves? Seems like the flame is let direct to the cooking surface and maybe less susceptible to hot spots? It’s nice to be able to boil quickly but would also be nice to have something you can cook slower with when you’re not in a hurry and don’t want dehydrated meals

[@rogerhudson2814]

Are there any 'remote cylinder' titanium gas stoves?, perhaps one for a titanium firebox nano?

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

Thanks for showing the stove! Regarding weight: that comparison must be combined with efficiency numbers. How many gramms do I save/lose when using one stove vs. the other. The weight of a (mandatory for some stoves) windshield needs to be considered too😁. I love being a nerd! thx for the teaser!

[@lakorai2]

Yeah like when everyone obsessed about the BRS stove. That thing has terrible effeciency.

[@66bigbuds]

My msr pocket rocket II is absolutely tiny and perfect. Ill never change.

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

I dont like the small burner fpr anything other than boiling water. I am trying to branch out a bit on the types of food I eat on the trail. Perhaps even bannock in a frying pan? Still experimenting.

[@larryn8]

@@geraldhenrickson7472- Find an aluminum heat diffuser, that will help.

[@wild-radio7373]

SNOWPEAK for the win. 🤜🏻👍🤛🏻♡♡♡

[@wild-radio7373]

One is None...

[@tonysmith5924]

Your have a stove addiction! Gotta have a fix!🤣🤣🤣

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice looking stove

[@Adulto357]

I have an og pocket rocket. Always been a huge fan of msr. I don't like the pocket rocket because the pot holders aren't flat and don't always touch all parts of your cooking system.

[@danielkutcher5704]

Doctor Stove Love.

[@Gstrowes]

How is the burn efficiency of the LiteMax? Would the weight saving be counteracted by increased fuel use? There's no point saving stove weight if you need to carry more fuel.

[@jasonpetty3786]

nice. thanks for the videos.

Anyone know what happened to ole Hiram Cook?

What is the the best ( gas ) canister

[@Steve-hb4my]

What’s one more stove; am I right?!

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

You can never have too many stoves...or tools.

[@titanpreparedness]

I think it's a good looking stove but i think the pocket rocket 2 looks better but im still with the brs

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

For boiling water while staying compact and light it is hard to beat the BRS. And its STILL very affordable. Amazing.

[@jhippl]

hiram cook was the stove guy, now your the stove guy. just roll with it.

[@cj_m2477]

I notice you’re using the past tense. Is Hiram still with us?

[@jhippl]

@@cj_m2477 i think he is but not on youtube

[@cj_m2477]

@@jhippl thanks, I really miss his videos. I hope he’s just on hiatus.

[@weylanwang5788]

It is made by KOVEA, which is KOREAN for snow peak.

[@larryn8]

Where is Snow Peak made? Niigata, Japan Snow Peak manufactures titanium goods in Niigata, Japan, using the highest-quality materials and time-honoured techniques.

[@jheighten7568]

What can I use to boil water inside a car safely?

[@PaleoHikerMD]

There are some stove systems that use a flameless heating element, similar to an MRE flameless ration heater, that would be safe.

[@jheighten7568]

Hello thanks for the advice. I checked one out very cool system but I’ll have to pass as in the long run it will cost me as much as staying bucks just to boil water. With this little system I will have to buy heating packs and I’m planning to do this every day I’ll go broke. So I’m thinking if what i need is only to boil water I could crack open all of my windows for the carbon monoxide to escape and use one of those canisters stove inside my car.

[@EDCAdventures1991]

🤣 why doesn't she understand me haha

[@noelbyrne3410]

I hope Hyram is still with us

[@danielkutcher5704]

Hiram Cook. I sure hope so, too.🙏

[@pawlett1]

I hate not knowing what happened to Hyram Cook! I always read stove vid comments to see if anyone mentions him :(

[@moorejl57]

Being the stove guy is no all it's cooked up to be.

[@m.hernandez1404]

I see what you did there.

[@MrTangent]

The “stove guy” but doesn’t have a white gas stove like the Svea 123. :Þ

[@PaleoHikerMD]

Who says I don’t? I’ve used my Svea 123r in a video not long ago! Also have two Coleman Peak white gas stoves (also featured in several videos) and I just picked up the Lixada copycat of the Svea 123....interesting stove.

[@MrTangent]

@@PaleoHikerMD Awesome! I must have missed it. Btw, great review. I’ve had my Litemax for 6-7 years. I love the thing. I bought the BRS-3000, which is also nice. It’s even lighter and smaller, which blows my mind. I prefer the Snow Peak though... I’m a huge Snow Peak/Evernew guy.

[@08JSilva]

how many so far ? haha

[@cwlee8250]

This stove is made in Korea.
