I’m sure you have far more knowledge than is given in the article and I guess I was hoping for something like the wisdom of Andrew Skurka or similar. We probably both know enough about stoves to make the right choice for our own circumstances but anyone unsure and looking to meet a particular need, say in fuel ability, safety, reliability, use at altitude or in the cold or a foreign land perhaps, wouldn’t get a heads-up from the article that’s all. You can’t please all of the people all of the time, Tim… but maybe calling a list a review doesn’t help!

Overall, the AlpKit BruKit is not in the same league as the MSR, Jetboil or Primus stoves. It’s more efficient than a regular stove/pot combination but much slower than JetBoil or MSR stoves. The piezo lighter on mine had already fallen off when it arrived (and it’s design leaves that to easily happen), the stove unit is quite fiddly to get in and out of the pot, the attachment of the pot to the stove is quite sticky/stiff which makes it awkward to detach when full of boiling water, my neoprene cover started to burn and melt from the heat of the stove, and lots of 230g canisters won’t fit inside the pot at the same time as the stove unit.

Started by Jetboil, these stoves are all-in-one units typically with a burner, heat sink, wind shield, piezo lighter and pot which all attach together. Super efficient stoves with integrated pots Pre-heat = tube that allows the gas canister to be used upside down and operates much better in cold conditions. As a result, they tend to be a little bigger and heavier. Unlike top-mounted stoves, remote canister stoves are free standing meaning they are more stable, particularly with bigger pots and canisters. Stoves attached to a canister with a hose.
