140.00 dollars...
I use a 10 dollar generic isobutane stove (windproof too) with a 5 or 6 dollar propane adapter.
So I have an effective multi-fuel stove for 15 dollars, I've used it plenty of times and it works well and easy.

UzuzuIn general I've seen quite a lot of junk on massdrop, but in this specific case, I'd like to give Soto the benefit of the doubt. Specifically, I've only used the windmaster, at 4000m, but I can say it heated much faster compared to all the other stoves there, by quite a large margin, so definitely money well spent. Haven't seen many reviews yet for this particular stormbreaker stove, but certainly most multi-fuel options on the market are quite expensive (MSR, Primus, Optimus etc).
Otherwise, your complaint could also be directed at all these other brands (!)
I'm still hesitate about this particular purchase though, like I said I haven't seen many reviews, so not sure about any gotchas in the useability side of things.

UzuzuI'd bet dollars to donuts that your 10 dollar stove will not burn liquid fuel which is almost a necessity in winter conditions. Your stove burns propane and isobutane only but no form of liquid fuel.

UzuzuNo, you’re incorrect Uzuzu. The storm breaker stove also burns liquid fuel (white gas). It comes with adapter to burn isopro canisters and it also a liquid fuel bottle and a pump to burn liquid fuel. You can connect either the liquid fuel tank or the canister to the stove burner. Unlike most liquid fuel stoves this stove requires no priming but the trade off is a bit more pumping to bring it up to operating pressure.

schifferjOkay. Still doesn't make it worth 140 over a 10-15 dollar solution burning propane/iso or plain liquid
afterall you can't bring more fuel hiking, and you'd bring whatever of the two fuels you wanted to use probably based on weight efficiency or for speed of boil (gas), which sort of makes the product fall into meme territory.

UzuzuI know of no $15 product on the market that will burn both liquid fuel AND isopro canister gas. I can use canister gas in the warm months, invert the canister in the shoulder months, and switch to liquid fuel in the winter months. FWIW this stove melts a big pan of snow as fast or faster than any liquid fuel only stove I’ve used. What falls into meme territory is a wood fire to melt snow when it’s too cold for canister gas providing you can find wood for that purpose AND you’re in an area where fires are permitted.
