Hikelight Accessories

Snowpeak's titanium stoves are as light as 1.9 ounces and a full can of fuel is only 7 ounces. The LiteMax is the new lightest butane/propane stove in the world. It's rugged, safe, and dependable, and burns efficiently at high altitudes. The 110-gram fuel cartridge is 70% butane and 30% propane allowing it to function in cold weather.
The heat control is adjustable, right down to simmer. At just 3 1/2" high and 3 7/8" in diameter you can easily fold the stove and keep it with other items in your kettle. The LiteMax and GigaPower stoves are much easier to use than a liquid fuel stove. The fuel cartridge easily screws onto the stove, so you can remove and re-attach it as often as you like.
You light it instantly with no pumping or priming, no messy liquid fuel, no complicated instructions, no loud roar, and you'll never need to clean it. It's fast and hot, burning at 10,000 (11,200 for the LiteMax) BTUs. Boil water while your friends are still setting up. It burns 210 grams of fuel per hour at the hottest output. It's a joy to use compared to other stoves. Snowpeak recommends you use only their fuel canisters.

New! White Box Alcohol Stove

This beautiful, hand-crafted alcohol stove weighs just 1 oz.! The stove also acts as the stand which keeps the weight to a minimum. The windscreen is just .8 ounces and the base weighs only .1 ounce. You could pack lighter with aluminum foil or a smaller piece of dryer vent for your windscreen. Imagine using a stove that weighs only 1 ounce. The beauty of this stove is that it’s stronger than the traditional soda can stoves. Thru hikers don’t need to worry about accidentally crushing it somewhere along the trail. The walls are 3 to 4 times thicker than soda can stoves because it uses an aluminum bottle. The unique design adds to the strength and makes measuring fuel much easier. Cooking is easy and fast! Just add the fuel and light. It’s faster and hotter than other designs, too. With this little blow torch you'll boil 2 cups of water in about 5 minutes using 2/3 of an ounce of fuel. It will hold up to 3 ounces of fuel and burn for up to 27 minutes boiling 10 cups of water, so you can cook for more than one person, or cook multiple entrees. The burn time is 14 minutes. It's so quiet you won't even hear it. And it burns clean. The flame is invisible during the day and a beautiful blue at night. There are no moving parts to fail. You can plan just how much fuel to take on your trip because of the reliable burn time so your fuel is extremely light, too. You can use a lightweight soda or water bottle to carry your fuel. Denatured or methyl alcohol are inexpensive and easy to find. It works great in cold temperatures and at high altitudes. Always use a covered pot and windscreen for efficiency. The stove is handmade from 100% recycled materials. The stove is 2” tall and 2 3/8” wide, and works best with fairly wide pots because of the efficient, wide flame pattern. The low cost includes the stove, windscreen, base, and detailed instructions, all delivered in a white box, of course.

Open Country 5-piece Mess Kit

At only 13.3 oz. this sturdy aluminum kit saves carrying weight and nests together for compact storage. Many suppliers are promoting kits of "heavy-gauge aluminum, stainless steel, copper-bottom pots, and teflon." All are overkill and add extra weight. With a little planning you can often take only the kettle, kettle cover, and cup. That reduces the weight to only 6 oz. Kit includes 3/4 qt. kettle and lid, 8-oz. plastic cup, 7" aluminum dish, 7" fry pan.
$24.95 No. 5156

Drinking & Measuring Cup

This rugged polyethylene cup weighs only 8/10s of an oz., so it's lighter than aluminum cups and a whopping 5 times lighter than a Sierra cup. It holds 8 oz. and has measuring marks to help you cook. It's the same cup that comes with the mess kit. Color varies.
$0.95 No. 5358

Rugged Lexan® Spoon, or Fork

The Lexan® spoon and fork are as strong as steel, yet light as a feather. They're more than 4 times lighter than that stainless steel camping set some people lug around. They're completely reusable, unbreakable, and won't rust. The spoon is .2 ounces, and the fork is .3 ounces. Use your pocket knife instead of carrying a table knife to save even more weight. The spoon and fork are both a little long, so have a wild time and save weight by filing them down a tad.
Spoon $0.95 No. 5260
Fork $0.95 No. 5261
