The Snow Peak LiteMax packs up small and was an easy stove to assemble.
Snow Peak LiteMax showed poor performance in the wind test
Conclusion
The Snow Peak LiteMax was the lightest stove tested and the easiest to assemble and disassemble but had long boil times compared to the other stoves tested. The Snow Peak LiteMax performed poorly in the wind likely due to the side burning ports on the stove. The boil times in the wind were about three times longer than the boil times using the Soto Windmaster. The maximum estimated 2 cup boils per 100 gram fuel canister for the Snow Peak LiteMax is 11. If you aren’t concerned about longer boil times or fuel efficiency and want to save a few grams the SnowPeak LiteMax might work for you.
