SOTO Amicus OD-1NV review

The one backpacking stove in this hub, and the one listing that publishes a packed size. It screws onto a standard canister, states the highest output here and names the gas mixes it will and will not take.

The bottom line The only listing in this hub written for someone carrying the stove rather than driving it: a weight, a packed size, a pot support width and a valve standard, all published.

What this listing puts on record

A screw-on canister stove weighing a stated 81 g, packing to a stated 3.9 x 3.9 x 7.2 cm, with a four-arm folding stainless steel pot support 10.6 cm across and a piezo igniter recessed into the burner shaft. Stove and stuff sack are included; the canister is not.

The fitting, and what it rules out

A screw-on canister to the Lindal valve standard. This is the fitting the category intro calls the lightest and simplest, and it is not interchangeable with anything else in this hub: the MSF-1a bayonet cartridges bundled with the tabletop stoves here will not thread onto it.

The maker also draws a line inside its own fuel: butane, isobutane and propane mixes yes, 100 per cent propane no. That is stated, and it is the kind of exclusion most listings never make.

The output, and the missing minutes

3,260 W is the highest stated output in this hub. What is not published is a boil time with a water volume beside it — the comparison the category is supposed to be made on. In its place the maker gives about 1.5 hours of burning from a 250 g canister, which is a fuel figure at one unstated flame setting.

The pot support

10.6 cm across the outside of four folding arms. Published, checkable against your own pot, and narrow — that is what a stove of this weight is.

Before ordering

Check the packed size against the pot you intend to carry it in. Then read the maker’s instructions on canister fitting, on ventilation and on where the stove may be used, together with the rules of the site you are on.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • The only stove in this hub to publish a packed size, and it publishes a weight beside it
  • Names the valve standard, the gas mixes it takes and the one gas it does not — 100 per cent propane is excluded in writing
  • Publishes a pot support width, so pan fit can be checked against your own pot before ordering
  • The highest stated output in this hub, with the flame described as adjustable down to a simmer rather than on or off

Compromises

  • No boil time and no water volume, so 3,260 W cannot be turned into minutes any more than the tabletop stoves here can
  • The 1.5 hours quoted is tied to a 250 g canister and not to a flame setting, so it describes one condition only
  • No canister is included, unlike most of this hub, so the fuel is a separate purchase
  • A four-arm support 10.6 cm across is a narrow platform for a wide pan, whatever the maker says about larger pots

What people ask before buying

What is the Lindal valve standard?

It is the screw-on canister valve the maker names, the fitting used across the common 100 g, 230 g and 450 g backpacking canisters. It is not the MSF-1a bayonet that the tabletop stoves in this hub take, and it is not the Campingaz CP250. The maker also states the stove takes butane, isobutane and propane mixes but not 100 per cent propane.

Why does the packed size matter more than the weight?

Because on this kind of stove the packed size decides whether it lives inside your pot. At 3.9 x 3.9 x 7.2 cm it can be checked against the internal diameter of the sets in the cookware hub — and that check is exactly what the cookware listings mostly make impossible, since only two of the nine publish a nested size.
