About this item

  • FOR BEST PERFORMANCE – The WindMaster's regulator is compatible with gas mixtures such as butane, isobutane, and propane. It is not compatible with 100% propane. The use of 100% propane is prohibited. Keep the base of the WindMaster clean. Never place the base of the stove on the ground or in a sandy area. Always keep the plastic cap on the gas canister when not in use, during transport, and/or when stowing the stove. This is important in order to keep the valve system clean.
  • SHOCK RESISTANT AND ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT – Stealth igniter installed burner post improves ignition and prevents breakage, making this stove compact and lightweight. Due to the simple, unique design, it weighs only 67 g / 2.3 oz.
  • MAINTAINS A CONSISTENT OUTPUT – Boiling time the same under a wide range of temperatures. Boil 2 cups of water in under 2-1/2 minutes in strong winds and gusty weather.
  • SPECIALLY DESIGNED – The pot placed close to the flame plus the concave design of the burner head creates the effect of a built-in windscreen increasing the efficiency of fuel consumption.
  • LARGE POT SUPPORTED – The kit includes the 4Flex that supports large size pots. It also can be used with the TriFlex (sold separately) support for smaller cookware
  • SPECS – Output: 2800 kcal/h 3260w 11000 BTU / Duration: Burns approx.1.5 hours with 8 oz. (250g) canister.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Stove
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
This stove has lots and lots of very strong reviews, so I was confident in buying it that it would meet my needs well. It certainly has met and exceeded expectations. I often camp in windy locations, and the Windmaster lives up to its name. It has not yet blown out though I have put it through some rough, gusty weather. Yes, cooking is slower when it's windy, but that is to be expected. It gets the job done, and it does a great job. The burner is so close to the pot, it still does really well.

Because of its efficient design, it doesn't seem to use as much fuel as my older stove, which is of course great. The piezo ignition is also wonderful. Not having to bother with matches is a big plus for me. It does seem a little delicate, and so does the stove holder cage thing, but I treat all my things with care, and they're both fine. Treat your equipment well, and it will treat you well. If you are rough on things, I would not expect either to last very long. They are lightweight, intended for camping, so go figure! You can't beat the heck out of them; they will break, people.

I also love the sensitivity of the fuel dial. It takes a few turns to get it going, which I like, because sometimes it gets turned a bit while handling, but when I connect it, this does not mean fuel starts immediately coming out. No, you have to turn it a lot more for that to begin. I view this as a very nice safeguard. Because of its sensitivity, it provides great simmer control, and though I'm no camping chef extraordinaire, the flexibility to dial in the heat level is appreciated.

Superb stove. Very compact and lightweight. Highly recommended product.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best portable stoves
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
This is one of the best portable stoves I've used. It burns hot, quick, and efficiently. I use mine for boiling water while camping/backpacking. I am not an ultralight backpacker so I cannot speak to the weight aspect of it. It is similar to other portable stoves (Pocket Rocket, Mini Mo) I've used in that aspect. There is a 3-prog support available for those concerned about weight.

I really enjoy the bulit-in igniter and windscreen for the stove. I've has some issues with other stoves and wind, but this stove stands up better to that. Unfortunately there are no other accessories that come with the stove itself (other that the drawstring pouch it comes in). It wasn't a big issue for me but just keep that in mind. Performance-wise this is my favorite stove and my new go-to. Even if you are not a backpacker it is good to have in case of an emergency. I would highly recommend this product.

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
If you are checking out this product, you already know it is a high quality ultralight tiny stove. What I like most about it is how much control I have over the flame. The last tiny stove I purchased from a different company cost much less, but flame control was impossible. This little stove is awesome. You can dial in from barely warming a pan to extreme insta-boil mode. From there, it keeps an even burn. No more constant fidgeting and burning food, or wondering if I'm low on fuel because the flame decreased. Honestly, it's just a really cool, tiny, ultralight, and quality addition to my backpacking gear. Very happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a Pocket Rocket
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
The Soto Windmaster is an awesome stove. I've used this in windy conditions and it gets the job done every single time.

I can usually boil 1 cup of water (depending on the outside temp) in around 1 minute and 30 seconds. For me, that's quicker than a MSR Pocet Rocket. The built in regulator ensures that I get a consistent flow of fuel, despite how full/empty the canister is. The built in windscreen works well. The piezo ignitor always works on the first or second click. The adjuster has the right amount of resistance, not being too stiff or too loose.

There is a cheaper knockoff on the market but in my experience, you get what you pay for. This Japanese made stove is superior in quality vs the knockoff. When in the wild, the last thing you need to fail on you is your stove. Not only can it cook a hot meal, it can serve as a backup water purification device if your primary water purification device fails.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
The soto windmaster is definitely more efficient than my pocket rocket and has not let me down in the many times its been used. The piezo still works great and the stove fits perfectly in my 750 toaks. I just wish that the 3 prong stove stand was included as standard because it's perfect vs the very heavy 4 prong stand. I also think the 4 prong is quite cheap feeling and more like something you'd get with a much lesser quality stove.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stove for any outdoor activity
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022

I bought this stove after reading a review/recommendation in a backpacking publication. The stove itself is small, compact and very easy to use. I do a lot of bikepacking and I bought it to use with my MSR Trail Light Single cook set. It fits easily in the pot and stows right in my frame bag no problem.
The internal igniter makes lighting the stove a 'breeze' in windy conditions and the adjustable platform makes it possible to use larger pots for cooking if needed.
I'm so happy with this stove in fact, that I am purchasing another to keep in my backpacking gear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, lightweight & Convenient
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2021
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
I use this for backpacking, solo tent camping and when my daughter is sleeping in the camper and I just want a quick cup of coffee outside where I won’t wake her. It’s fast, reliable and easy to carry. It’s fits with 1 small canister in the snow peak titanium mini solo coolest. It works with all of the sizes of iso-butane. The flame is adjustable so you can minimize how much flame you give off. It’s stable - I really like the 4 prongs because I often am using a semi-level surface (like a rock) and it hold it up. I haven’t had trouble with wind, but I do carry a piece of foil to wrap around it just in case (its the top of a buffet casserole container).

Reviewed in the Netherlands on October 13, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
Ik gebruik deze brander (van een eerdere aankoop) al jaren als bij-brander naast mijn benzine branders. Eigenlijk is deze brander net zo heet of zelfs een fractie sneller. De 4 armige pannensteun is een stuk stabieler dan de (nog compactere) 3-punts steun. Mij verbaast het hoe weinig de brander last heeft van forse wind. Ik ben onder de indruk.
De piezo ontsteking heeft het bij mij maar kort gedaan. Met een aansteker gaat het ook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously impressive stove - much better than various others I've tried
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2023
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
First Impressions:
The SOTO WindMaster 4-Flex Stove comes in compact packaging, yet upon unboxing, its quality is immediately apparent. Small enough to fit in a backpack but robust enough for serious cooking, it strikes the perfect balance.

Usage Experience:
This stove has genuinely revolutionized our camping cooking experience. Its performance in windy conditions is so exceptional that we've ditched our wind shield. The boiling time for water is halved compared to our previous BRS-3000T model, making it a time-saver. Its ability to handle large saucepans is a godsend for family-sized pasta dishes.

Pros:
- Outstanding wind resistance
- Quick boiling time
- Stable for large saucepans, even heat distribution
- Versatile fuel compatibility (C100 to C500 canisters)
- Piezo ignition for hassle-free usage
- Regulated for consistent heat and efficient gas utilization

Cons:
- None discovered

Target Audience:
This stove isn't just for casual campers; it's a must-have for anyone who takes their outdoor cooking seriously, from families to solo adventurers.

Longevity:
The WindMaster 4-Flex's durable construction suggests it will be a mainstay in our camping gear for years to come.

In summary, the SOTO WindMaster 4-Flex Stove is nothing short of impressive. It performs flawlessly in various conditions and configurations, making it a staple recommendation for friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best
Reviewed in Canada on March 23, 2021
Size: One SizeColor: UnsetVerified Purchase
The only stove one needs as a lightweight backpacker. No need to carry a windscreen. The heat is better than the pocket rocket. It has a regulatory so it burns less fuel. The pot support has 4 supports instead of three and they are very light, stronger and flatter than the pocket rocket. It packs better too because it has a bag instead of a box. It also has a built in igniter that actually works really well. It has brass threads instead of aluminum, and 2 rubber gaskets to seal at the fuel canister. I've tried many stoves and this is the one. Fits easily in nearly every small pot. I'm excited to have my research over and have the stove of my dreams.

UPDATE: August 16, 2022

I have been using this stove for over one year now and still love it. When I took it out on a backpacking trip last weekend, the flame was red and not blue anymore. I do not know what the issue was but I called SOTO and they sent me a brand new stove. They explained what might have gone wrong and told me how to clean it. I think some dirt might have gotten into the regulator. I don't know.

It is important to keep the top and bottom of the stove free of dirt and also to keep those little black caps on the fuel canisters so no dirt gets in and around the fuel output.

I think their customer service is very good.

**UPDATE** February 3, 2023

Still the best. Last year when they sent me a new stove, I realized afterwards that the reason for the red flame previously was from water boiling over and some dirt likely just got in the burner. I soaked the burner upside down in some warm water and let it dry well and it was back to new like condition.

I really love the Soto stove and the service. It boils well, and fast, and it simmers equally as well.

**UPDATE** August 24, 2023

I've been using the Soto Windmaster every time we are out backpacking and canoing and still have the first stove as an extra. (Works equally as good since I cleaned it)

Our daughter in law liked how quiet ours was, so she just replaced her pocket rocket with a new Windmaster.

Ultra light thru hikers right through to traditional car camping (and especially for back country overnight hiking/camping, THIS is the greatest stove I've used!

You will love this thing!

* January 2024 * My Soto Windmaster is still going strong and I love it. Looking forward to a Spring season of backpacking with this stove.
