You want to orient things such that no part of the stove presses on the lid. You may have to jostle things around in there a bit, but it does fit. It's tight but it does fit, and I can get the lid on and closed. The canister must then sit on its side with the concave side toward the stove. Basically, you coil the hose tightly but without kinking anything. Here's the orientation necessary for the Kovea Spider and a 110 g canister of gas to both fit into an 850 ml MSR Titan Kettle (see photo, below). For groups of 3+, I might still choose the Windpro II, but for smaller parties, say from 1 to 3 people, I think the Kovea Spider will do very nicely. It's just that I've been wanting something lighter and more packable for some time. Now don't get me wrong, I like the Windpro II it's a good stove. With the Spider, there's room for a 110g gas canister! The Kovea Spider will fit into an MSR Titan kettle along with a 110g Snow Peak canister of gas.īy comparison, while I can fit the Windpro II into either a Snow Peak 780 or the Titan Kettle, I can't even begin to fit a canister of gas inside when there's a stove in there.Īn MSR Windpro II (left) in a 780ml Snow Peak pot.Ī Kovea Spider (right) in an 850ml MSR Titan kettle. It's a bit tighter fit even though the Titan kettle has a larger capacity due to the kettle's proportions, but I was able to get it to fit and to close the lid. I was also able to fit the Kovea Spider into my 850ml Titan kettle, again with a 110g Snow Peak canister of gas. Not all 780ml pots will work.Ī Kovea Spider fits easily along with a 110g canister of gas inside a 780ml Snow Peak Ti pot. Note: The 780ml Snow Peak pot has a frying pan lid. It fit great, along with a 110g Snow Peak canister of gas. I tried my Kovea Spider in my 780ml Snow Peak Ti pot. ![]() It is here, in the packability department that the Kovea Spider shines. I like to be able to put my stove and a canister of gas inside my pot. The Kovea Spider weighs in at 168g/5.9oz which while almost 3/4oz lighter isn't really all that much of a weight savings to be perfectly frank.Ī Kovea Spider (right) next to a Monatauk Gnat (left)īut weight's not the whole story, now is it? Packability ranks very high on my list thank you very much. The lightest remote canister stove that I've got is the Windpro II at 187g/6.6oz. None of them are particularly light or compact. Now, I own a number of stoves that are capable of running on a remote gas canister (Rapidfire, Windpro, Omnifuel, OmniLite Ti, Whisperlite Universal, etc.), but every one of those stoves is essentially a big, white gasoline type stove converted to run on canister gas. Look how compact that is! Yes! What a sweet little stove. Why I've been lusting after one of these ever since I saw it in the Kovea catalog. UPDATE 7 June 2017: I added some pics, below, of the orientation necessary to fit a Kovea Spider into an MSR Titan Kettle (850 ml size) along with a 110 g canister of gas. UPDATE 10 March 2013: I've added a Cooking report for the Kovea Spider. but I'm so glad you did.Īnd look! It's the new Kovea Spider, a remote canister stove that is capable of running with the canister inverted (if you're not familiar with the cold weather advantages of running with the canister inverted, you might want to check out my article on Seattle Backpacker's Magazine, Stoves for Cold Weather II). ![]() What's this? A package? For me? Why how nice. ![]()
