Snow Peak Lite Max stove - First Use

[HardcoreOutdoor]

Just did a solo trip up Mt. Humphreys, 12,633 feet, and had a chance to use my new Snow Peak Lite Max. The Lite Max cannister stove weighs in at 1.9 ounces and is designed to handle the wind better than previous Snow Peak offerings.

I fired it up at lunch time on the sumit ridge about 12,200 and it worked beautifully. There was not much wind so I can't speak to that issue yet and I did not time the boil but seemed reasonably fast for the conditions.

Nice stove. I will continue to use it. Anybody else used one yet?

Yes it is a nice stove I just used mine in the wind rivers for 8 days and + 11000 ft. Worked great and stayed lit even with all the cirque winds blowing hard. My buddy was using the trusty giga power and the lite max definetly does better in the wind. I I boiled water for 6 dinners and a few drinks for breakfast and still had plenty of fuel in the small cannister left.5 stars for me. *****
