Iwatani35FW Single-Burner Butane Portable Cooktop Indoor & Outdoor Cooking Stove Medium

Outstanding quality and looks beautiful with the stainless steel! Very portable with its included briefcase. Easy to swap butane cartridges and easy to adjust flame. I do recommend making a diy wind block if operating when windy outside. Other than that awesome powerful burner that’ll last you a very long time.

I've only used this stove a few times, and I like it a lot! This Iwatani stove is so much easier to use compared to my Coleman single burner stove. With this Iwatani stove, I simply open the lid, insert butane cannister, close the lid, press the dial to on position, and bam! Fire instantly comes on nice and hot! I can then lower the heat by turning the dial the other direction. When done cooking, I simply take the butane cannister and place the cap back on, then insert the cannister back into the compartment BACKWARDS for easy storage when not in use. I got this tip from other user comment (thanks by the way!).Contrast this with my Coleman single burner stove in terms of operation. With the Coleman stove, you need to first insert the pipe that screws into the stove (don't lose the pipe, by the way), then screw in the propane cannister into the pipe that screws into the stove, then need to get my long match/torch to light the darn stove while turning the dial to the on position. That's literally 4 separate items needed to make everything work (Stove, Pipe, Cannister, Match). The Iwatani stove is so much easier to use compared to my Coleman stove.I was able to boil a large kettle of water quickly and effortlessly. Because the Iwatani stove is well built, the unit didn't get too overly hot after using for only several minutes.A couple points further. As others have noted, the included plastic carry case is...well, cheap! The actual case is okay, but the 2 closing latches on top are poorly designed and constructed, and is a bit loose and wobbly when closed with the stove inside. When carrying the stove inside the carry case, you will need to make sure the latches don't come loose. Both of my Iwantani stoves have the same lousy carry case design.I also discovered that if you inadvertently open the carry case with the stove upside down, the top piece of the stove (the windbreaker part) will simply fall off, as it seems like there is nothing to hold it in place other than gravity when the stove is right side up.Lastly, DON'T buy the Iwatani brand of butane cannisters like I did. It's very expensive, and I doubt it's much better to justify the high cost. I ended up finding an Asian restaurant supply store nearby me that sold a 4 pack of butane cannisters for only $4.25, such a bargain! Better yet, they also had a small supply of this same Iwantani stove, so I bought a 2nd one directly from the same store! I now have 2 of these Iwatani stoves! I plan on using one to cook water, and the other one for cooking food or whatever.I don't know how these things will hold up over time, but I can say this stove looks well made and is worth the extra cost. I will be using this stove for camping. I highly recommend this product!

Iwatani Store: Iwatani 35FW Single-Burner Butane Portable Stove, High Power 15,000BTU/Hr., w/CaseThis product is the Iwatani 35FW single-burner butane stove. This portable butane-powered stove is perhaps, the most powerful single-burner butane stove available today with its 15,000 BTU/hour heat output. The brass burner unit is capable of putting out more heat than any other butane stove that I am aware of. Consequently, this stove may be used with a Wok at the temperatures necessary for the proper use of a Wok. It can also continuously heat a cast iron frying pan to the temperatures necessary to properly sear a nice, thick steak without the pan cooling and steaming the steak.The Iwatani 35FW is also, in my humble opinion, the best made single-burner butane stove available on the market today. The stove is made of appropriately thick stainless-steel so it does not bend and buckle like many currently available models. The stainless-steel components that are used to manufacturer the stove are stamped with curves and ridges to strengthen the individual pieces and further strengthen the completed structure of the stove when all the components are combined in the completed product. The Iwatani 35FW stove has a built-in double windscreen system so that when the stove is used outdoors, the burner flame is not blown around or extinguished. The Iwatani 35FW has a built-in piezo electric ignition system that operates automatically when the burner is turned on; there is no need for matches or a lighter to begin cooking with this stove. This stove also has a specially designed, heat conducting panel to provide a small amount of heat from the burner unit to a position underneath the butane cylinder. The need for this heat is to prevent a precipitous drop in butane gas pressure when using the stove on a high setting for an extended period of time, particularly when that usage is under colder ambient conditions. By warming the butane cylinder, the butane gas pressure is maintained at a useable level and there is no need to replace a butane cylinder because it has gotten too cold to supply sufficient gas pressure.The Iwatani 35FW uses a magnetic system to connect the butane cylinder to the stove’s butane gas system. This means there are no levers or clamps to connect the butane cylinder to the stove and this ensures that the butane cylinder is properly connected at every use. The stove’s gas system also has multiple gas safety systems built-in to ensure the safety of the user and virtually eliminate the possibility of an accident.Finally, the Iwatani 35FW is supplied with a well-fitting polymer clam-shell case to protect the stove during transportation and storage. This case is substantial and will protect the stove from damage. The Iwatani 35FW is also supplied with a very well-written manual which explains everything anyone would ever need to know about the use and operation of the stove. The Iwatani 35FW is quality-made in Japan and is the best quality product that you can get. I am so very happy with this product. Thank you for making such a high-quality product.
