Figured a used $15 stove from a garage sale in Bend was junk, it outboiled my fancy one
I used to think you had to drop real money on a camp stove or you were just asking for a cold dinner in the rain. Back in 2019 I grabbed a beat up two burner off a folding table in Bend for $15, mostly because the guy selling it threw in a half full fuel canister. I figured the thing would clog or leak and I would toss it by fall. Fast forward six seasons and that rusty little stove has boiled water for every trip while my $130 name brand one sits in the garage with a broken igniter. The flame on the cheap one is uneven and the knobs wobble, but it lights on the second click every single time, even at 9,000 feet near Mammoth. Last trip my buddy laughed at it until his own stove crapped out and he ended up cooking eggs on mine. It got me wondering how many people are out there spending big for features they never actually use. What is the cheapest piece of gear you own that just refuses to die on you?
