The easy to use and sensitive control valve will permit the stove to be turned right down and, with care, a simmer maintained but food needs to be kept an eye on to prevent burning. This article and others that talk about it’s inefficiency convince me that it is not a good deal despite it’s low cost. You are generally paying keen attention anyway when cooking in a tiny backpacking kitchen setup, so having to closely monitor the flame size has never been a big frustration for me with the BRS-3000T or any other ultralight stove I’ve owned. The advertised boil time of 2:58 minutes of the BRS-3000T may be a little exaggerated, but it’s not too far off depending on the conditions.
Three Points of the Compass sets out on a winter wander from London to Birmingham along the Grand Union Canal.
I still occasionally use an early 1970’s WhisperLite and a Svea 123 since they still work well because I have maintained them. I don’t expect the BRS-3000T to handle slow cooking a giant pot of homemade chili for a large group. While the burner head is small, the small angular shields actually do a surprisingly good job at spreading the flame so as not to create a small hot spot on the bottom of your pot. This stove is impressively small, unbeatably lightweight, and performed decently in most of our metrics. Where this was not possible because the wind was blowing head on, parallel to the wheels, I would often use it on the parcel shelf with the boot lid open.
When tested in controlled conditions, however, the BRS-3000T gives its counterparts a run for their money. I can't believe that people are still using these after the OP detailed his stove's various failures. I didn’t use my jetboil Sol Ti as I was concerned about running full blast with it as I am not sure it was designed to be used with a stove with that high of BTU output.The BRS-3000T performs well in calm conditions and is the perfect stove for cooking easy to prepare meals. For those wanting both a stove and light that will operate off a small gas canister, Coleman once produced what was probably the lightest lantern option. My intuition leads me to think you would also be very frustrated with some of the points below when using the BRS-3000T. The most lightweight and the most compact yet powerful backpacking butane canister stove is the only stove one needs for 3-season backpacking trips.
I almost always get a question or two when I fish it out of my pack and fire it up in front of friends or passersby (I do a lot of adventure picnicking in the parks near me), and I’m sure you have some of the same questions. Alternatives approach or breach the 100g mark regularly so big name brands obviously have a few things to catch up on. This would not only add a bit of weight, but also create more complexity that could lead to failure in the field.Likewise, if the stoves gas is large, this is not an option but it can also be used by an electric stove br. We all know that the construction quality of this little stove is not great, and we might surmise that the quality of the titanium used in making it is a bit suspect. The flame pattern is quite narrow and the stove more suited to boiling water rather than attempting to cook or simmer.
Great Deal
