IwataniCassette Feu Butane VA-30 Camp Stove, one, BLACK

It is very easy and simple to use.Light weight, good size and the function is perfect.No leaky gas. The magnet sticks the gas canister strong enough.Just for any portable gas cooktops, DO NOT place cooking pan or plate over the gas canister that may cause explosions when heat it up.

Easy to use and flame can be reduced to keep food simmered, which is a big plus when cooking sukiyaki. The manufacturer recommended butane canister fits well with no issues

So happy I ordered this product to use for Korean barbecue nights for my family, not to mention camping, cooking dishes outside alongside the grill, and any other future uses I can think of. This portable stove top is easy to clean, the butane cartridges are easily replaced, and seam on average to last about 1 to 2 hours obviously depending on the intensity of the flame during use. I would recommend buying replacement cartridges at an Asian grocery store or market if you have one in your area as they tend to be much cheaper there. Despite warnings from many reviews online, I've had no issues using this inside. If weather and conditions allow, I have a nearby window cracked or open, but I don't believe this is entirely necessary as long as you don't have it on full blast for hours at a time. These are used heavily in Asian countries indoors where no one gives it a second thought.

Ready to use as soon as butane canister is added which was easy to do. I feel that this product is well made and should last me years

This is great value and will work just great for my emergency kit in case the power goes out! This is a good company and this had good reviews

Very compact and clean design. Great and crucial addition to my hot pot parties.

Super high quality. Very well made. We have electric conventional stove and this brings Gas Burner in our kitchen!!! Burning so evenly it is a delight to cook on. Very easy to clean and durable. We have had this little stove for at least six months. Never disappoints 🙂🙂🙂

I had read many reviews and watched YouTube videos that all pointed to Iwatani as being the best single burner butane stove. It's made in Japan and rated for commercial use indoors and personal use outdoors. I figured if it was safe enough to use indoors in the right conditions, then it would be perfect for us to use outdoors while camping.I was wrong.This stove has WAY too high of heat output for anything anyone needs to cook while camping. I tested it out at home to make a pot of macaroni and cheese and managed to boil the pot over with it turned on high. After I cleaned up that mess, I was determined to try again to finish my pot of mac n cheese, but I had to turn it all the way down to the lowest it would go. I wondered what I would do if I ever needed to cook on low if low was already being used as medium high.I really wanted to make this stove work. On first glance, it seemed nicely made, and the burner cover comes off for easy cleanup. (Thank goodness, since my pot spewed milk everywhere into the nooks and crannies!) I was not crazy about a chipped paint spot I found on my first one so I ordered a replacement and that one arrived with the front sticker having been poked into where there were holes behind the sticker. I hadn't noticed the stickers on the first one, but now I had two of them home and neither of them looked worth the $45 I had paid. And how would stickers fair outdoors when the one that was fresh out of the shrink wrap had the stickers poked through? Oh, yeah...and where does one store the can of butane when the lock-in mechanism is magnetized?It dawned on me that the folks who marketed this as a portable stove, probably never camped before.With no fuel storage, the sticker issues, and a flame hot enough to boil over milk at record speed, I decided to keep looking.I ended up with the blue Coleman single burner butane stove instead. I had passed over it earlier because I had thought the magnetic fuel lock and the removable pan...and the made in Japan credentials would make this one a better stove. Then I happened to watch a YouTube video of someone we have watched for years, who we knew always cooked his own meals on the road. He hadn't ever focused on his food at all, except he went camping in one video and the little blue Coleman is what he used! Knowing he had cooked many a meal on this stove in his travels, I decided I'd give it a try.Here's a comparison:*The Coleman can store the butane can with the lid on inside of it for storage. Everything you need can go in the storage case. The Iwatani has a nicer case, but you're going to have to find somewhere else to store the butane because it doesn't fit in the stove or the case when not in use.*The Coleman has all printed labels so if it gets wet or dirty, you can just wipe it off. The Iwatani's stickers poke through holes in the metal easily. I didn't try wiping them off to see what would happen.*The Coleman has a lower btu, allowing you to actually use it on high and low. The Iwatani has high (low) and molten lava high (high). You don't really get a low for simmering.*The Coleman doesn't come apart for cleaning, but we didn't have a need to do that because it behaved like a nice little camp stove. The Iwatani on high caused milk to spew all over, so it was a good thing it could be taken apart to clean it.*The lever locking action on the Coleman seemed more secure than the magnetic locking action on the Iwatani. I never smelled gas while locking the can in the Coleman, but I could smell gas sometimes when locking it into the Iwatani.If you're looking for a camp stove, take a look at the blue Coleman. We used it for a 6 day camping trip and it was awesome! I used it in the rain on a couple of nights and thought to myself that I was glad I didn't have to concern myself with the stickers on the Iwatani getting wet and ruined on the first outing.As for the Iwatani...it might be worth a shot for commercial use or for the bbq that others have mentioned.
