tech spider

Outwardly, this model resembles a spider thanks to folding legs. They are securely bolted to the main unit, so there is no need to assemble and install anything before use - just pull out the stands. Despite the small size and low weight, the burner is equipped with important elements: automatic ignition, gas supply regulator and preheating. The first is a piezoelectric element (like in lighters), which allows you to set fire to fuel at the touch of a button, ignoring matches, which is convenient on any trip. The second makes it possible to regulate fuel consumption and combustion temperature. And the third heats up the gas still in the tube. This reduces its consumption, and most importantly, allows you to effectively use the burner in winter, when the gas thickens at sub-zero temperatures and may not reach the burner from the cylinder at all.

Burner - separately, cylinder - separately

The gas cylinder is connected through a sufficiently long hose. And it's very convenient. Firstly, the safety of operation increases, because the cylinder is far from open fire, and the burner itself is installed on special legs and its balance does not depend on the fuel container. Secondly, when working in a cold period, the canister can simply be laid on its side, thus improving the flow of thickened gas. Here only cylinders are needed for a strictly defined brand (KGF-0220, KGF-0450, KGF-0230, KGF-0110), and universal ones, alas, do not fit. But this is quite a normal payment for safety and comfort.

An interesting, compact and convenient torch for hiking, indispensable in winter, and extremely useful in summer. One of the best market offers in terms of price / quality ratio.
