Read Our Story →The Backpacker is a lightweight integrated backpacking stove built for real meals, not just boiling water. At just 9.2 oz, it combines one of the lightest fully integrated backpacking stove systems available with a generous 1.2 L hard-anodized aluminum pot that's large enough to cook for two or even three people. It packs into one compact kit, lights with the push of a button, boils 500 mL of water in about 2½ minutes, and includes everything you need to start cooking except fuel.
Why it belongs in your pack
- Light enough to carry. Big enough to share. At just 9.2 oz, the Backpacker includes a real 1.2 L pot that's large enough for meals, coffee, and hot drinks for two or even three people.
- Everything you need, right out of the box. Includes the burner, 1.2 L hard-anodized aluminum pot, strainer lid, insulated cozy with dual handles, nesting bowl, click-in pot supports, and pack towel. Just add a standard EN417 isobutane fuel canister.
- Fast and fuel efficient. The built-in Piezo igniter lights with the push of a button, and the integrated heat exchanger boils 500 mL of water in about 2½ minutes while improving fuel efficiency.
- Packs into one compact kit. The burner, pot supports, pack towel, and either a 100 g or 230 g fuel canister all nest neatly inside the pot for quiet, organized storage.
- Cook more than freeze-dried meals. The adjustable flame lets you simmer, while the included pot supports work with most backpacking pots, skillets, and kettles you already own.
- Built for years of adventure. Durable materials include a hard-anodized aluminum pot, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum burner components, and a weather-resistant neoprene cozy. Backed by our 3-Year Limited Warranty.
Designed and tested in the mountains of California.

With a full 1.2 L pot you have room to cook for two or three — or boil enough for a proper cup of coffee and a full bowl of oatmeal in one go. The easy-pour strainer lid means no dribbles, spills, or scalds; the insulating neoprene cozy keeps your hands safe; and two hand-hugging handles make the pot easy to hold for smaller hands (and keep cold fingers warm).
