12/4/2023 0 Comments Piezo lighter and kovea spider![]() Does anyone know where I can get thin aluminium sheet (like really thick tin foil) I can use to make a custom windshield?ī. I dug out my MSR XGK windshield but, frankly, it is not as elegant a solution. ![]() I have a Primus clip-on windshield which I use with the other Kovea stove but it won't work with the Spider. It is well-made (Kovea make stoves/kit for other companies and have a great reputation), it folds down into my MSR Titan Kettle along with a small canister and comes with a little piezo igniter. I have used the stove a couple of time already and it has performed well. This may not mean much to many of you but if you like a bit of winter camping and mountaineering, it can become pretty important. This allows the stove to be more stable and also has the advantage of being able to turn the canister upside down in the cold which, using butane/propane mixes, lets the stove work more efficiently (there is also a preheat tube). I recently saw a good review of the Kovea Spider, which is still a canister stove but the main body sits low to the ground and connects to the canister via a tube. The only issue with it is it screws into the top of a canister which can make things a little top-heavy and unstable. I have had a small Kovea titanium stove (folds very small and has integrated piezo ignition - ) for about 8 years and it's still going strong. I know many love their meths stoves - but they're not for me. I'm not going to get into the gas/meths debate: I cannot abide meths stoves - gas, wood or pressure fuels for me only. As a keen mountaineer/hillwalker, there are many occasions when I need to bivvy out, use a tent or bothy, and need a lightweight, quick and reliable solution for hot drinks/cooking. ![]() Whilst I love to make a fire as much as most others on this site, often it just isn't appropriate (local law, weather, etc) and/or there's not enough time. There are also sets available for order which contain two adaptors with the stove and a „ Prepper Pack“ which comes with all adapters with which u can use all kinds of gas canisters.Though this isn't really a review as I haven't had it long enough, I'd just like to present a small, lightweight gas stove which could find a place in your emergency kit, climbing/mountaineering kit or brew pack. As an accessory a windshield can be added ttps:///kovea-spider-windshield/. In addition, spare parts are also available. The stove is great for campers and bush-crafters who need a versatile gas stove for cold weather conditions. If you use a larger pot (with lid) you will get a faster boil time. The Pots lid is used as an extension for the mugs’ small diameter. A titanium mug filled with 300ml of water boils in around 4 minutes. A cold weather advantage is a copper tube which preheats the flowing gas while the stove is in operation. ![]() For cold weather operation the gas canister can be turned upside down to burn liquid gas. Then the valve is opened slowly and the outcoming gas can be lit with the piezo igniter. The gas canister is connected to the hose. To use the stove the legs are folded out, these lock in place and also hold the pot. This particular set comes with the PAT-Adaptor which enables the user to connect Campingaz canisters. Normally the stoves canister connection is for screw / threaded gas canisters but can be extended for usage with others types of gas canister by using several KOVEA adapters. The KOVEA Spider remote canister stove comes with a piezo igniter for easy ignition the fuel. ![]()
