I have access to a lot of stoves and love testing gear, so I decided I wanted to build off of the awesome work GearSkeptic and BPL have done by testing every stove I can get my hands on and then creating an accessible database for the results.

Request: I would love some feedback on the testing protocols and the information I will be gathering about each stove. If there is a brand I am missing, that would be great to know! You can access the spreadsheet where I will be compiling the information HERE. The second tab has the testing protocols.

Some aspects that I want to do some testing on beforehand are:

• Lid on vs lid off boil time/fuel consumption testing with a Toaks 750mL - using a BRS, Pocket Rocket 2, and Windmaster.
• Effect of ambient air temperature on boil time/fuel consumption
• Effect of canister temperature on boil time/fuel consumption
• Confirm BPL’s testing of % fuel remaining in a canister and the effect on boil time/fuel consumption

Some things I would like to test down the road but that I am not including in scope right now are:

• Remote canister stoves
• Liquid fuel stoves
• Cold weather testing
• Large volume testing

Some justifications for the protocols:

• The Toaks 750mL is likely the most popular pot on the market.
• Ice water makes the testing more easily replicable

For reference, the data will be posted to PackWizard.com (which I am a co-founder for) but publicly available like the other databases currently on there. We are working on a system where people can submit data, if they are interested in doing so because it is a lot to keep up on! While we have other databases on PackWizard right now, I am really excited for the stove one because of the additional information we will be providing through testing.
