RAPTOR ROCKS - Thomas Brown, Apr 25, 2008

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!

Small, Light and Rugged - William J. Gothard, Apr 19, 2008

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.

Solid buy (but incomplete review) - J. Moon, Feb 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.

Great Stove bad piezo ignitor - Shaun W. Malone, Jan 13, 2008

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.

Just what we expected - John Barnhill, Jan 07, 2008

This was a gift and the recipient loved it. Not sure how well it works, but he'll let us know if it has any problems.
