Product Description
Arg! My beautifully simmering sauce! Curse you, tiny surface area stove! I should have brought the Brunton Raptor Stove! The Brunton Raptor folds down small but unfolds three arms into a good-sized platform that you'll be able to balance your big pots on without the help of a troupe of circus performers. Made of sturdy (read: almost indestructible) stainless steel with a piezo-electric starter, the Raptor is easy, reliable and powerful. Precise control lets you simmer like a pro or go to inferno mode and boil water fast. At a dainty 5 oz, there's no good reason not to take the Raptor along. *Self ignition for altitudes below 8000ft, bring a lighter for higher altitude trips.

 RAPTOR ROCKS April 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although rarely factored in, fuel always adds bulk or weight to a backpacker's stove, nevertheless, this little stove has a lot going for it. The built-in piezo-electric start is a really great feature and works on the first try on mine. The burner can be regulated from barely a flame to a roaring jet blast with easy adjustment. It folds up like a 'Transformer' into a tiny unit that fits into a fabric carry case and
weighs next to nothing. Well engineered and constucted, it will definitely serve its purpose well when needed. High marks for this little dynamo!

The Brunton Raptor Foldable Canister Stove with Piezo Ignition is an ingenious design incorporating folding pot supports and a piezo lighter. The entire stove, minus a fuel canister fits into an included small padded nylon case about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" and weighing only a few ounces. It is easy to light with the incorporated piezo lighter. The Brunton Raptor competes head-to-head with the MSR Superfly, but wins for pack size and price. The Raptor is $20.00 less than the Superfly with a piezo lighter. I have used a variety of Hank Roberts, Coleman and MSR canister stoves over the years, but for size, weight, price and convenience, I'm recommending the Brunton Raptor.
Happy Camper March 16, 2008
I have owned my Brunton Raptor for two seasons. I have taken it backpacking in to the Colorado Rockies and prepared meals for up to seven. The Raptor performed the same at sealevel as it did at 12,000 feet. The ease of setting up the Raptor and getting right to cooking is a real plus. With the compressed gas canister there is no fussing with the gas generator or pumping of fuel bottles. The piezoelectric ignition has worked very reliably even though one must take care to keep it dry and out of strong winds during the ignition process. With the range in sizes of gas canisters, I have not had any problems with running out of fuel while on a trek. The photograph shows a tripod base which is sold seperately, and I recommend that you get it to provide added stability when cooking. I can not imagine trekking in the backcountry without my Raptor.
Solid buy February 21, 2008

Please note that I haven't field tested this yet... an essential component for a product like this. This, therefore, is only out-of-the-box initial impressions.
This thing is wonderfully small; it folds into a small pocket-sized wallet. I can anticipate some damage to the product if placed under significant weight (so don't).
The stability of the product, I presume, will largely depend on the gas canister (I plan on purchasing a cheaper, more readily available brand). It's worth repeating a previous reviewer's comment that the canister base does not come with the product.
Still, I'm very happy with this product largely because of the size. But I'm still bringing backup. I will certainly update if field tests show this product to be anything other than a five-star product. Otherwise, no news is good news.
Update 6/29: I didn't bring a backup. I bought three canisters, and though I used fire to cook the first couple of days, it worked well and used fuel efficiently. I ended up with maybe half a canister left. I didn't do any empirical tests, or time anything, but it produces intense flames and boils 2 liters of water in a little over five minutes.
Some drawbacks, though, is that the foldable arms do need to be cooled for awhile after use, and the ignition and flame adjustment require some dexterity to adjust when the stove is on the ground and a pot is already sitting on top. I burned myself a bit the first time. But again, a stove that fits into the palm of your hand is well worth small annoyances or a little extra wait.
Great Stove bad piezo ignitor January 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This stove is extremely compact and easily fits in my pot set. I wish it had come with the base support shown in the picture, but as long as you find a flat spot that is not a big deal. Wind guests can wreak havoc on the flame, but as long as you have a wind break you shouldn't have any issues. The biggest complaint for me was that the piezo ignitor worked great on the first outing, and after that it no longer works. I now carry a reliable lighter and matches for backup.
