What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Best lightweight stove on the market. Surpasses all competitors like msr, primus etc. Great build that packs up small even with the 4 support stand.
The soto does what every lightweight stove does; throws a flame out irrespective of how much they cost. The built in ignition is a bonus. Recommend a canister stand if using a 100g canister.
Stove works great and boils quickly. Great for hot drinks or boil in the bag food. Boils enough water for a brew really quickly. Good for cooking food on not just boiling water.
Best windresistance even better than jetboil and minimalist design. Low pot height ensures that no wasted energy is lost to the wind. Need a wind shield for proper gusts.
Last thing is they are very sturdy. Get a tripod thingy to rest the gas on for more support too.

I used the msr pocket rocket 2 out wild camping in fair to strong wind and even with a wind shield it struggled it never blew out but was badly effected

The soto windmaster in the same conditions has been virtually uneffected

The 4 version is good for larger pots or frying pan but if you are just boiling water the 3 pronged version id recommend it folds away to nothing and i think is a little more stable not much in that though

Extremely lightweight at around 90g

I’d say the only difference with the soto is the detachable pot holder and a wider flame area which throws out a bigger flame instead of concentrating the heat in a smaller spot
