| Brunton Profile Two-Burner Range
Jul 27, 2009 In the past, two-burner stoves pretty much resembled oversized toolboxes, and manufacturers put little effort into making them attractive. But these days, practically every type of gear has received a facelift, with modern curves and lines. Sleek and brightly colored, the Brunton Profile is certainly one of the most stylish two-burner stoves we’ve tested. And when it’s time to fire up the thing and cook a meal, the Profile performs admirably. But our tests, which included numerous car-camping trips, revealed a couple of issues that need to be addressed. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Stoves / Cookware |
 | Sea to Summit X Bowl and X Plate
Nov 3, 2008 Gear companies have focused a lot of attention on making kitchen accessories, such as bowls and plates, that are much lighter than products of old. But Sea to Summit has joined those who are trying to go one step further with its X Bowl and X Plate, which not only shave weight, but also occupy less space in a backpack.

| Jetboil Helios
Jul 7, 2008 Jetboil sparked a revolution in the stove market with its PCS (Personal Cooking System), which popularized the use of heat-transfer mechanisms (like the Jetboil FluxRing) to increase performance. Jetboil's latest invention, the Helios stove, isn't likely to rock the stove market as the PCS did, but it too makes use of a clever idea.

| Brunton Wind River Range Camp Stove
Jun 26, 2008 If your camp food menu revolves around Beanie Weenies and Ramen noodles, stop reading this review. If you consider yourself and aspiring gourmet, a “foodie,” or just the kind of car camper who likes to be able to adjust the burners when you’re whipping up a meal in the woods, meet your new best friend. Brunton’s Wind River Range (great name, by the way) is one of the best-performing double-burner stoves we have ever hauled along on a car-camping trip.

| MSR Reactor stove
Dec 3, 2007 The hottest development in stove technology the past few years has been heat exchangers—devices that transfer heat directly from a stove burner to a pot to avoid heat loss and make stoves more efficient. The trend began with the Jetboil, and other manufacturers now offer their own variations on the theme. MSR’s Reactor may be the best of the bunch, and this is not only due to the performance of its heat exchanger. The burner itself represents a leap forward, allowing the stove to cook quickly while remaining whisper quiet and pretty much impervious to wind.

| Jetboil Jetset Utensil Kit
Sep 17, 2007 If there's one thing the SNEWS® crew takes seriously it's meal time, and we consider kitchen utensils important pieces of gear. We're sure lots of backpackers would agree—especially those who have reached into their meal kit right before dinner and suddenly realized they forgot to bring a fork or spoon. Major bummer. Have fun stirring the soup! Yes, utensils matter, so we scrutinized Jetboil's Jetset Utensil Kit as we would a stove, tent or any other product. While testing the Jetset fork, spoon and spatula, we noted things like the quality of the design, their usefulness, durability and weight. Overall, we had generally favorable reactions, though we found room for improvement. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Stoves / Cookware |

| Light My Fire Outdoor Meal Kit
Aug 28, 2006 We've seen many attempts to put together the perfect meal kit over the years, but all have, for the most part, simply modernized the age-old mess kit that found its way into camping kits from the military. Light My Fire, a Swedish company SNEWS® discovered while wending our way through the aisles at the OutDoor trade show in 2005, has entered the United States with what it calls "a mess kit re-invented." Indeed. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Stoves / Cookware |

| Press-Bot Coffee Press by VentureDesignWorks
Feb 27, 2006 The concept is brilliant -- combine the convenience and excellent coffee flavor for which a French press is highly regarded with a Lexan wide-mouth, 1-quart bottle, such as a Nalgene. Read Story | Comment on this story | Go to all Stoves / Cookware |

Fitnex E55SG Elliptical Sep 14, 2011 So many ellipticals can be large and pricy, and the though the smaller ones may have a lower price tag, what they give up to get there makes for a more wobbly ride that’s not as much fun. The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard. Read Review | Comment on this review | Go to all Product Reviews |
