![]() I'll report more on that as I go through my review process. So, if this stove has significantly better features and wind handling properties than the competition, then I think that Soto could really go places with this one. Soto has finally gotten real with their prices. Now, that's a competitive price when you consider that the new MSR Pocket Rocket II (coming in 2017) also has an MSRP of $45 and the new JetBoil MightyMo has an MSRP of $50. Gone is the detachable pot support, and the MSRP is now thirty dollars less at $45.00. The recessed burner head of the Soto Amicus. ![]() It has the same type of burner head as Windmaster. I'm just telling you because they've got a frickin' steal of a deal going on right now as I write this. I don't get a nickel for telling you about them. *Disclosure: I have no relationship whatsoever with Campsaver. ![]() Three, the Windmaster is a pretty tall stove and doesn't fit into a lot of smaller pots. Two, the Windmaster has a detachable pot support (easy to lose) which just about nobody likes. At $75 MSRP, it's tough to sell stoves when one can just go get an MSR PocketRocket or a Snow Peak GigaPower for about $40. Why? Well for one, it's pretty expensive for an upright canister stove. Now, the Windmaster is actually the best upright canister stove available today in the US market (in my opinion) – and it isn't selling well. OK, so, um, weren't we talking about the Amicus? Why are you going on and on about the Windmaster? And on many of those trips, this rather intriguing Windmaster. My escape was to set aside one day per week for hiking. Job hunting is the very worst sort of mental torture. So, sorry stove hobby, but you're on hold.īut of course I never stopped hiking during that time. When I had work, I would work as many hours as humanly possible. There's a tremendous prejudice in the tech sector against older workers. Now I was a tech worker around 50 years old. There really wasn't much of an internet when I had last looked for job. I hadn't looked for a job in a long, long time. I had been with the company for over 21 years, but they let me go. ![]() Due to the circumstances of my life, this stove, the Windmaster, is probably the most thoroughly tested of any stove I own. And believe you me, I ran test after test after test. OK, now did you see that in the video? The stove on the left, the Soto Windmaster, beat the stove on the right by almost a full minute.Īnd did you catch what I said? The Windmaster won every time. But rather than a long winded technical explanation, just watch this short, three minute video, and then let's go from there. OK, so why am I excited? Well, I'll tell you. ![]()
