GSI Outdoors Glacier Remote Stove
Best lightweight remote stove for backcountry backpackers needing stable, powerful cooking.
This remote-canister stove offers the kind of rock-solid stability you rarely find in ultralight gear. By moving the burner closer to the ground, it handles larger pots with ease, though you sacrifice a bit of packability compared to the tiny, top-heavy alternatives that screw directly onto the fuel canister.
