TOAKS Titanium Ultralight Backpacking Gas Stove

The TOAKS Titanium Backpacking Gas Stove (STV-21) is a canister-top gas stove built for ultralight backpackers who need fast, reliable heat without carrying extra weight. Constructed entirely from uncoated titanium with a precision-engineered aluminum alloy valve, it weighs 1.7 oz (48 g) and packs down to 1.7" x 1.7" x 2.6", small enough to nest inside a TOAKS 750ml pot.

Laser-Welded Construction, No Screws or Joints

The STV-21 uses a laser-welded titanium body that eliminates the screws and mechanical joints found on conventional stoves. Fewer connection points mean fewer places for stress to accumulate over miles of trail use, and nothing to work loose in a pack. The result is a stove that holds its shape and seal trip after trip without requiring periodic tightening or inspection of hardware.

Fast Boil with Built-In Wind Resistance

The burner head includes a diffuser and an etched titanium screen that spread the flame evenly and reduce sensitivity to light wind, without changing the character of the flame itself. Under calm conditions, the stove brings 500 ml of water to a boil in approximately 2 minutes 20 seconds. For a backpacker making coffee or rehydrating a meal at camp, that speed translates directly into less fuel burned per cook and less time managing a stove in marginal weather.

Folding Legs That Store Flat

Three legs fold tightly against the stove body when packed, keeping the packed footprint to 44mm x 44mm x 67mm. Setup is a two-step sequence: rotate all three legs upward, then swing each one into its open position. The deployed stance measures 89mm x 89mm x 83mm (3.5" x 3.5" x 3.3"), providing a stable platform for pots up to the sizes the legs can support.

Features

• Full titanium body: uncoated titanium construction with no added coating or plating
• Aluminum alloy valve: precision-engineered valve for consistent gas flow control
• Laser-welded frame: screwless, jointless construction reduces weight and failure points
• Diffuser and etched titanium screen: improves fuel efficiency and wind resistance without altering flame quality
• Folding legs: three legs collapse flat for packing, deploy in two steps for use
• Compact packed size: fits inside a TOAKS 750ml pot for integrated storage

Specifications

Warning: This stove generates an open flame. Use only outdoors, on a stable surface, and keep away from flammable materials. Allow it to cool fully before handling or packing.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The TOAKS STV-21 suits ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, and minimalist campers who use standard threaded isobutane-propane canisters and prioritize low pack weight. Its compact packed size makes it a natural pairing with the TOAKS 750ml pot for an integrated cook kit.

This stove is a canister-top burner and is not compatible with liquid-fuel or alcohol-fuel systems. No pot, canister, igniter, or carrying case is included.

Common Questions

What fuel does the TOAKS STV-21 use?

The TOAKS STV-21 is a canister-top gas stove designed for use with standard threaded isobutane-propane canisters. The canister is not included and must be purchased separately. The stove is not compatible with liquid-fuel or alcohol-fuel systems.

Does the stove come with a pot or igniter?

The TOAKS STV-21 ships as the stove only, with no pot, canister, igniter, or carrying case included. The stove's packed dimensions allow it to nest inside a TOAKS 750ml pot, which is sold separately, making that pot a natural companion for an integrated cook setup.

How does the laser-welded construction affect durability?

The TOAKS STV-21's laser-welded titanium body eliminates the screws and mechanical joints found on conventional stoves. Fewer connection points reduce the places where stress can accumulate or hardware can loosen over extended trail use, contributing to long-term structural integrity without requiring periodic hardware checks.

How does the stove handle wind?

The STV-21 burner includes a diffuser and an etched titanium screen that improve wind resistance and spread heat more evenly without changing the flame itself. The stated boil time of approximately 2 minutes 20 seconds for 500 ml applies under calm conditions; performance will vary in stronger wind.

How do the legs set up and pack down?

The TOAKS STV-21 has three folding legs that store flat against the stove body when packed. To deploy, rotate all three legs upward and then swing each one into its open position. No tools are required. The packed footprint is 44 x 44 x 67 mm; the deployed stance is 89 x 89 x 83 mm.
