Gear Guide 2012: Bargain Stove

The Olicamp Xcelerator Titanium was a favorite for our ultralight AT thru-hiker.

Olicamp Xcelerator Titanium
“If it’s weight you hate, this is a great cooker,” concludes our AT thru-hiking tester. Instead of screwing directly onto a canister, the Xcelerator attaches via a hose that places the burner on the ground, giving pots more support, which is perfect for small group meals. $40; 2.7 oz.; libertymountain.com
