Olicamp Electron Stove
Best lightweight stove for budget conscious backpackers seeking integrated ignition.
This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it stove for backpackers who value convenience over ultralight minimalism. The built-in piezo ignition eliminates the need for fumbling with lighters, though the robust, protective case adds a bit more bulk to your pack than a stripped-down, frameless alternative.
