MalloMe Portable Camping Stove MalloMe Portable Camping Stove with Protective Case  MalloMe Portable Camping Stove (Pot and Fuel not Included)

Review:

The MalloMe Portable Camping Stove is a light weight and compact travel stove.  The design is similar to the MSR Pocket Rocket and Pocket Rocket 2 design.  The MalloMe camping stove weighs just a few ounces and has a compact size of 1.8" 2.4" x 3.2" when closed.

The MalloMe Portable Camping Stove can collapse the pot supports for easier transport in the provided carrying case.  The pot support arms are small and does not provide great support.  The manufacturer says this camping stove can be used with pots up to 7" in diameter, but caution should be exercised when using a pot larger than 5" in diameter.   The camping stove does not provide stabilizers under the fuel canister to keep the unit steady.

The MalloMe camping stove also provides a valve to control the flame.  The flame can be turned up for heavy cooking or turned down for simmering.  For maximum efficiency, setting the flame at 50% (half turn) is recommended.  This camping stove includes a built-in Piezo ignition, making it extremely easy to light the stove.

To setup, position the four pot supports into place and attach the camping stove to the fuel canister.  Then turn the control valve and simply press the built-in ignition.  This camping stove works with any 7/16 thread and EN 417 compatible butane/butane-propane fuel canister from Jetboil, MSR and others.

Pros:

  • Light weight and compact (1.8" 2.4" x 3.2")
  • Control valve to adjust flame
  • Protective case included
  • Built in Piezo ignition
  • Low cost

Cons:

  • Does not include stabilizers to keep unit steady
  • Pot supports are not great

Butane vs Propane vs IsoButane Stoves

What are the differences between butane, propane and isobutane camping stoves? The difference is the type of fuel used by the camping stoves.  Each fuel has its own characteristics that work better in certain situations.  The size of the fuel canisters also plays a role to determine the best type of camping stove for the situation. Butane: Most commonly available in 8 oz canisters, the butane canisters are long and narrow.  They look like cans of spray paint.  Due to the size, most butane portable stoves are in the small to medium size range.  Portable butane stoves are also popular in Asian hot pot restaurants to keep a pot of boiling water at the table.  Butane fuel canisters are readily available and affordable.  These fuel canisters are not refillable and have issues operating in colder temperatures.  An e xample of camping stoves that use butane fuel is  the Gas ONE Portable Butane Gas Stove . Propane: Propane is a fuel that can be used for more than camping stoves.  Propane fuel

Review: The  Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove is a no-nonsense stove for the outdoorsman. You won't find any fancy paneling here, just three aluminum burners with the ability to produce 30,000 BTU each. A simple but sturdy frame surrounds the three burners with removable legs to make setup easy. The Camp Chef Explorer 3X Three-Burner Stove measures out to be 50 x 8.5 x 16 inches and weighs in at 43 pounds. The legs boosts the cooking height up to 29 inches. The stove set up is easy as well. Connect the legs, connect the hose, then light the burners through a hole on the side. Pros: Sturdy and rugged design. Does what it is built to do. Cons: Requires accessories to maximize use.
