Snowpeak GigaPower Stove with manual ignition is an incredibly small, lightweight, and convenient canister stove. This powerful little stove weighs just 3.25 oz but produces 10,000 BTUs (most camping stoves are 8-9,000 BTUs). Use this backpacking stove with Snow Peak fuel in temperatures as low as 14 F (-10 C). The Snow Peak GigaPower Stove is designed to stow with a fuel canister in a Snowpeak Solo Combo Cook Set. The GigaPower backpacking stove burns 45 minutes at maximum gas output (10,000 BTUs) with the GP-110 fuel canister. This lightweight, compact camping/backpacking stove comes in a high-quality plastic carrying case. Also available in a titanium version (our item no. SNO0004). **DOES NOT INCLUDE FUEL CANISTER.

Product Reviews

This thing is small!
Been checking out canister stoves in REI for awhile and finally decided to order GigaPower from Backcountry. It was either this one or MSR’s Pocketrocket. Something about the look of this stove really caught my eye. Works great in no wind, but not so great in any wind. I really recommend getting a windscreen to be happy with this stove. Also, forget about auto-ignite…the feature weighs as much as a book of matches and matches are far more reliable.

GigaPower Kicks @$$
3.5 ounces and 10,000 BTU’s for $35. That’s a no-brainer. This stove fired every time and boiled a liter of water in less than 4 minutes, even above 10,000ft. One of the best purchases I’ve made in along time.

A Hot Little Stove
The SnowPeak GigaPower stove is a great stove that I would recommend to anyone wanting to travel relatively light. At 3.25 oz. the burner is one of the lightest around, but that’s only one of the pluses. I am more interested in fuel economy and flame control. The GigaPower does both well. Using a windscreen and watching the stove carefully, I was able to get 90 minutes from a 110 gram fuel cannister. It is hard to do this without excellent flame control, and the stove will hold a low simmer well. I looked at many stoves before purchasing this one, including the JetBoil system. The SnowPeak model beats it for weight (and price) and matches it for fuel economy.

A Miniature Masterpiece
The Snow Peak Giga Power Manual stove is one of those few things almost can’t be improved upon. It’s simple, rugged, incredibly lightweight and compact, and even has four pot supports, which is significantly more stable than three. I’ve had Piezo igniters fail and that’s why I went with the manual version. I bring a Bic and matches with me anyway. Definitely get the Snow Peak windscreen also. It’s compact, reasonably light, and will improve fuel efficiency. This is the stove that convinced me to switch from liquid fuel backpacking stoves. I’ll never look back.
