At 120 grams, the BlazeKit folding stove is lighter than most people's empty water bottles. But does it actually perform when you need hot food after a hard day on trail? We put it through real conditions to find out.
First Impressions
The BlazeKit arrives folded completely flat — it truly pockets. The four legs fold out and lock in place in about 5 seconds. No tools, no complicated assembly. Screw any standard gas canister onto the base, light it, and you have a stable cooking platform.
Real-World Performance
Boil Time
500ml of cold water (desert morning temperature) boiled in approximately 3.5 minutes at medium flame. That's competitive with stoves costing three times as much.
Wind Performance
At low settings, wind affects any open-flame stove. Bringing a basic foil wind shield (10 grams) solves this completely. In normal conditions, performance is excellent.
Stability
The four folding legs provide a stable platform for standard camping pots. Won't tip a 1L pot. We wouldn't cook with a 2L pot on any ultralight stove — physics.
Fuel Compatibility
Works with all standard screw-top gas canisters (EN 417 fitting) — the same canisters available at every outdoor shop. No proprietary fuel.
The Weight Calculation
120 grams is genuinely remarkable. For context:
- Popular MSR PocketRocket: 73g (costs $50+)
- Jetboil Flash: 184g (costs $100+)
- BlazeKit: 120g at $24.99
The BlazeKit occupies a sweet spot — near-ultralight weight at a fraction of premium brand prices.
Who It's For
Best for: Weekend backpackers, Shvil hikers, anyone who wants hot food on trail without the premium brand price tag.
Not ideal for: High-altitude mountaineering in extreme cold (get a pressure-regulated stove for that).
Verdict
At $24.99, the BlazeKit is an exceptional value stove. 120 grams, folds flat, works with standard canisters, boils water fast. It does what a camping stove needs to do without the $50-100 premium brand markup.
