I said it with the Windmaster, and I'll say it again here: Soto makes some truly kick-ass hardware. I have one of these, and it's a great, lightweight stove. The piezo is worth the $3, IMO. Soto uses an unusual design for their piezos, and the whole thing runs up the middle of the stove and is protected, so a lot less to worry about with regards to it breaking. If you didn't get in on the Windmaster, or want a backup, jump on this!

GreatdaneI don't really understand the difference between the Windmaster and this Amicus model. All I see is a different support system at the burner. Could anyone please explain the differences?
Either way, I'm jumping on this drop because of all the positive discussion.

amdee1979I think the Windmaster supports are separate and not "built-in", which is one reason I got the AMicus. I echo the other comments-excellent performance in windy conditions, efficient flame pattern and very convenient piezo igniter. I just returned from a lollipop in Mineral King, and the Amicus performed like a champ, even in the windy Big Arroyo valley. My SP Gigapower has been relegated to my extras bin.

GreatdaneAnd the Amicus is more compact than the WindMaster. Good summary.

hikin_jimI have a Windmaster, not an Amicus. Does the Amicus support hold the pot slightly higher above the flame than the Windmaster support? In other words, does the Windmaster offer better protection from the wind, allowing less heat to blow away, making it slightly more efficient (in the wind) than the Amicus?
