These are two new stoves from Brunton, to the left is Cub and to the right is Talon. Both will weigh 3.7 oz (about 105 grams). The Cub has an output of up to 10,000 BTU’s and the Talon up to 10,00 BTU’s. Talon is foldable and it’s folded dimensions are 3.25″ x 2.75″ x 1.25″, but Cub supports slightly large pots than the Talon.

This is quite nice new gadget from Brunton, a canister stove stand. Basically it’s a stand for the stove that lets you place the canister on the side. This can, for example, be good in cold weather when you need to keep the canister warm. It will first regular canister stove, not just Brunton stoves.

MSR will start the shipments of the Reactor stove. The shipment were initially scheduled for spring 2007, but were halted. But now MSR’s Bill Conradt says “We’re shipping them out as fast as we are building them”. MSR anticipates the production and supply of stoves to meet up with the demand by January of 2008.

Coleman is really trying to get into the market of serious outdoor gear. The new Exponent Denali multifuel stove has been tested on an Everest expedition.

The stove produces 14,500 BTU burning butane/propane, 11,000 BTU for Coleman liquid fuel and 10,000 BTU for kerosene. Standard boil time of water ranges between three minutes and 20 seconds to four minutes and 10 seconds depending on fuel. The weight will be 11.5 oz (326 gram). A system of quick-connect fuel connectors make it easy to switch fuel source.

BackpackingLight showed an new unnamed Snow Peak stove a few days ago, now it has got a name, it’s the Snow Peak LiteMax and will be available May 2008. The stove is made out of Aluminium and Titanium and has 11,200 BTUs output. Snow Peak says that they think it’s the lightest stove in the world, weighing 2.15 oz (about 61 grams), but they still need to double check their competitors. There are now official photos yet but BackpackingLight has got some unofficial.

Fjäderlätt, the Swedish lightweight packing site, has some photos of the new Optimus Crux Light stove. The weight of the new stove will be 77 grams, this has been achieved by removing the folding mechanism of the regular Crux stove as I reported earlier.

Trailspace Blog brought this to my attention. Portuguese company Ortik has a nice product called “Heat-It Up”. It is designed to improve the efficiency of outdoor stoves and Ortik says it can do so by up to 40%. The product is made out of fire proof textile and will fit around your regular stove. It can also be used as a hanging system. The product weights 138 grams, I only wish that there was a small version that would fit my smaller pots.
