SOTO WindMaster 4-Flex Stove

Product Information

Question: Can I use a 1 lb green propane canister with an adapter made by a third party on this stove? Firstly, the main feature that is common to all canister stoves and that is light weight. At 89 grams for the stove unit itself and 100 grams including the small carry bag, this stove isn’t the lightest in the stove market but doesn’t weigh that much. To be fair when you compare this to other stove types, you do need to include other items such as a pot, gas canister and canister stabiliser which will increase the weight. Being able to buy this stove as a standalone unit allows hikers to mix and match to get the system they want and the opportunity to change the pot choice depending on needs. So some suggested maintenance for customers if they do get a boil over and liquid spills onto the igniter would be to spray the igniter with WD-40 or CRC at the end of the hike and perhaps put a couple of drops of machine oil (I will use baby oil) on the igniter before storage. This should prevent the springs from rusting.

At its heart, SOTO provided a solution to the problem of burners taking around 2 to 3 minutes to preheat. This 'wait time' was reduced to just 15 seconds in normal conditions and 20-30 in extreme weather, leading to SOTO being crowned the 'Fastest Lighting Stove' in the world.It’s well named too, because for a canister-top stove – not traditionally a very windproof design – it is able to stay alight in breezy and even gusty conditions, which in our experience invariably blow out most similar stoves. This solid performance comes down to the broad, concave burner head, which also has a small but well-designed protective lip. The Soto Windmaster Stove is designed to last. It is made to be durable and reliable and should provide years of service with proper care and maintenance.

The 4Flex pot stand is detachable, which you’ll either love or hate, and is wide enough for a frying pan. Personally I really like it, the way the 4Flex folds down is really satisfying and I really like fried bread when I’m camping. Of course anything detachable is easier to lose, so it’s a case of creating a system where you don’t lose it. I’ve seen a few good ideas on the internet, but my favourite is a mini carabiner to attach the support to the valve handle when you’re not using it.SNEWS recently put the WindMaster stove to the test. Here’s what their tester at Great Outdoor Provisions has to say about “the stealthy one.”:
