Very Few Stoves Can Do This – Snow Peak Home and Camp Burner Stove Review
What I have for review is a Japanese Camp Stove from a company called Snow Peak.
What makes this stove so interesting and special? It’s the way that it transforms from a small stove to a rather robust system.
This is my review of the Snow Peak Home and Camp Stove

Fuel : – Butane Fuel : https://amzn.to/3oTpWyw
Review Pros :
– Very good quality system – nicely made, good construction, good materials, no rough edges – feels substantial with one small exception which I will speak of in just a moment.
– Very compact design and it’s fairly lightweight for what this stove offers
– The way that it transforms is impressive – it’s rather sleek
– Can support pots and pans ranging from 4.5” to 12” in diameter.
– Overall performance of this stove is very good – there are faster stoves out on the market but most will be larger than this
– Ignitor works very well
– Butane fuel at least here in the States is very inexpensive
– Once you have the stove set up, it offers a very stable platform to cook on.
– Inserting the fuel canister is very fast and simple – there is no locking lever which some may want.
– Stove has an interesting feature that I haven’t seen before – it has a copper heat conduit that warms the fuel canister which helps when using this stove in colder conditions. This is important as butane doesn’t perform the best when it is cold.
– The flames originate from inside of the burner ring which does help with wind resistant but in windy conditions, some sort of shielding will be needed.
Review Cons :
– Pricey – if a compact design isn’t important to you, then there are less expensive stoves out on the market
– Unfolding the stove isn’t as fluid and easy as one would expect. I’ve set this up and broke it down hundreds of times and it’s still not a smooth process – the locking pin on the bottom isn’t super easy to push nor is it to locate.
– No case is included.
With the adjuster, the stove turns off at 1 instead of 0 – the first couple of times that you use this stove you might want to simmer, you make the adjustment and you turn the stove off instead
– While I like the build quality and the materials, there is one slight issue that I want to mention – with the fuel door cover, if you close it too strongly you can overshoot the locking point – it’s a bit flimsy in that regard.
– The pot support legs are too far apart to be used with small cups or pots. – Anything with a diameter less than 4.5” and you will have some difficulty using it with this stove
– No English instructions are included

Luke, BIG question, if you had the choice….. Soto Stove or the Snow Peak Home and Camp stove. Both you reviewed.
IMHO the best Snow Peak product is Yao Winter Solstice.
For a backup when grid down, $120 isn’t bad.
The burner design (more efficient, less CO) makes it safe for indoor use, according to SP. I’d pay the extra for that piece of mind.
yep theres a reason this is expensive. you can tell this is quality. im def buying one.
Great review. Super articulate presentation and explanation
The way you open it. Is incorrect!
Well played Snowpeak! Well played!
Nice review video.
Those stoves are in many sporting goods stores over here. It does seem overly difficult to close and over-priced when I looked at one first hand. Recently I saw a "transformer" heater/stove online -probably from China. It looks like the heater is in the same class as that smallest butane heater you use for truck camping. To transform to a stove, the heater just tilts back on its base until the burner is parallel with the ground 🙃. It would be cool to see a review on that for the novelty factor and to cut through some dubious Amazon reviews. Anyhow, the stove heater combos look interesting. I’ve seen Chinese knockoff of this Snow Peak for about 40 USD, so I doubt I’ll be picking up a Snow peak, regardless of quality difference.
Lmao
I’m not sure if Snow Peak is actually selling this in the US. I think many of the sellers might be importers, and REI might also be an importer. It looks like a really good stove, but they should include a pouch.
Compare this to a JetBoil price wise.
Leave it to the Japanese to design such an intricate stove. I got that cassette one and it’s awesome.
$130 for a Japanese designed, Made in Japan, butane stove is a premium I’m willing to pay.
Thanks 😊
A tent stove is perhaps the no. 1 item to make living in the backwoods comfy. The one that seems to get the best reviews is the G-Stove, but its expensive and hard to find now, I have given up on stoves with a window in the side – way too many problems and go black so easy. This is not easy to deal with because of expense. Right now the G-Stove looks best to me. Any chance of a video on proper tent stoves with a chimney?
Nice. How long can you cook with one can?
Gas One makes a foldable butane stove for about $40. It be great to see a comparison.
Multiple Chinese copies, in Asia around $25.
4:50 What is that meal? It looks yummy
Man, copper must be way up there. Scan for tweakers!
On ali express for £25 with a free bag 😂
$40 ??? Lol!! You can get 12 cans of butane for $24!!!😱😱😁😁
I would be interested in how this compares with the GasOne 8300 folding unit. Same form factor. Comes with a case. $50..so a much better price.
Luke what are the frying pans being used please?
I got the same from the brand Dhaulagiri only for 30$± and came with the bag 😊
Do you have to empty the butane canister before removing it from the unit? Thanks for the video btw.
It looks like you have a bottle opener on that thing too.
I was thinking 120 would be a fair price but assumed it would be like 200 haha. Glad it’s 120-130. This really seems like the stove I’ve been looking for. I want something to put in the trunk of my vehicle for both camping and saving money while doing Uber! Cookouts and coffee making in the airport parking lot😅. I was initially concerned that it was butane, but it seems like they’ve handled that problem with the copper plate.
I thought of using a Jetboil but I sold mine and don’t want to buy another. My hiking kit just isn’t good for car camping or trying to cook literally anything.
Love how it folds but to expensive for a stove
Re- english instructions. I recently purchased one from a large outdoor co-op and it came w/3 substantial instruction booklets in 3 different languages, including english.
Can anyone be kind enough to tell me what kind/brand of cooking pans his using? Been trying to scan old videos still cant find them THANK YOU
Nice stove!!! But it cost to much!!!
In the context of manufactured camp stoves, $129 isn’t bad. In the context of cat can stoves, 😂
Thats a small stove
As an Aussie that watches these videos I love the variety of products shown but I do cringe at the prices when I think of the exchange rate, my south pacific "peso" just does not stretch so far. I do get loads of good advice and tips for products I can get here regarding what to look out for etc. Great channel.
To need to learn to cook. 😂
Great review! You covered great pros and cons, but it would be a better deal if they included the carrying bag and ENGLISH instructions. 🙂👍
I have a BRS copy of this stove, it did come with a neoprene case but I had to buy the copper heating plate separately – it’s a loose item that you manually install (very simple) when tempature drops. It seems really nicely made – not Snowpeak quality but still good and it was less than half the price.
Thanks for the nice overview! Just wanted to let you know that Snowpeak has this on their website for $150 with a bag. 😉 Also- those isobutane canisters are sometimes difficult to find and can’t be shipped by air. Getting a 5 pound cylinder of propane is a lot cheaper and lasts the whole summer with heavy use. I really like the size of this though…bummer!
I like it a lot, but it’s at the price range where I can’t justify it because I already have camping stoves covered. If it was $100 after taxes and shipping then I might buy it. If it was Under $90 after shipping and taxes….. Shutup and take my money!
For heating up food/water in smaller pots or cups a small 4" X 4" square grate to place them on would help. Yes, it another item to pack but better to have when needed than not have.
I agree I think for that price the carry case should be included with that price of 130 bucks
LAW/RPG camping stove.. modern day version of the gulaschkanone
What’s the spice jar and bag kit?
Since I own this stove and since cons that I have experienced weren’t covered in this review I’ll add my two cents.
This stove has two potential problems that may catch you with your pants down and both are related to gas canister attachment system.
The thing is some canisters are made from metal that is not very magnetic and so there’s no way you going to make such canisters to attach since this stove it using magnet.
Another issue is with their "safety mechanism" and it’s rather common problem that I experienced as well. There’s little safety pin that tends to make canister disconnect randomly.
I had to completely remove it and ever since attachment was rock solid for me. That being said you still need canister that is made from a fairly ferromagnetic metal or else it won’t hold.
It looks like a mini LAW rocket
Have you checked out the Coleman dual fuel stoves??
That’s a pretty cool design I kind of really like.
