The Swedish company promises a stove that's the hottest export since the country started shipping out meatballs. So confident are they in the EtaPower's fuel efficiency, you only get a teensy 12-ounce canister bundled with this complete multifuel cook system. The Swedes are right about one thing: The Eta doesn't waste much fuel. It just sucks time. Taking apart the entire stove just to adjust the butane jet will prove especially tedious to any novice, unless you're an engineer or a backpacking masochist. And after all that hard work, only a paltry 7000 BTUs. Borked!

Beefy, mostly metal fuel pump. Pot-size wind blocker clearly outperforms the other windscreens we tested. Comes bundled with 2-liter pot and fry pan. Heavy-duty zip case has ample pack room and dividing chamois (pots stay clean; burner keeps to itself).
