Just got the new LI - 10.4 oz in the bag supplied by Snowpeak. Sets up fast and easy, lights easy. very nice folding system. No beta on gas needed to melt 1 liter of snow. Anyone out there have any field experience with this stove yet? I won't be able to get into the mountains until Mid December.Wouldn't mind knowing what fuel needs I would have for snow melting. If I'm the first, I'll take lots of fuel and report back when I get home.

At 2.5 oz. you can not complain about weight are any thing else. I can not see are feel anything wrong with this stove. I have been useing my stove for some 5 years and have not had any problems with it at all. It is like the Eveready Bunny- It just keeps cookin and cookin. Only down side- I wish Snowpeak would make a lighter Titanium windscreen- current windscreen ways almost 3oz. I am sure there is a lighter material out there. This is a High-End Quality Canister Stove. Worth the $$$$$

The only drawback for this stove was the lack of a windscreen, such that it did not perform efficiently in windy conditions. The manufacturer's screen sold separately is stainless steel, and on the heavy side. So I took off the bottom of a titanium pot I did not intend to use, and cut slots in it matching those on the stainless screen. Used a zip tool with a diamond wheel cutter for the slots, and a high speed drill bit for the hole. The screen weighs under an ounce and works well. The stove can now function efficiently in windy conditions, and the screen telescopes neatly into the bottom of my pot. But I expect the generation of Carbon Monoxide is probably greater, and take suitable precautions.
