The SOTO Windmaster was rated nr1 on the PCT during 2019 and it was the EDITORS CHOICE at GEAR LAB in 2021 and ONE MIGHT WONDER WHY and what’s makes it so good! And is it true that the WINDMASTER is the BEST OF THE BEST and the one YOU SHOULD BUY? Let’s find out!
During today’s episode I will go through the specs, features and the performance of the SOTO Windmaster and talk about the difference to the AMICUS and other competitors.

Yes, regulator helps with cold and near-empty canisters, but it also enables simmering. Don't often carry a stove, but if one does, powdered eggs are a near perfect backpacking food, lightweight, compact, providing essential proteins that aren't easily found elsewhere in a hiker's diet. However, to properly cook eggs requires simmering capability. BRS simply won't cut it. A spread-out flame is useful too. Windmaster checks all the boxes. p.s. Four-flex is designed to spring-clamp around the stem of Windmaster, thus making it one-piece-ish for storage. Tip pot-stand 90° to clamp to stem.

This stove fits into the evernew solo titanium pot set with a small gas canister/stand and plenty of room to spare for other items. Fits in there so well there's no room for it to even rattle around no case necessary.

Thank you Robert. Gosh, you’re good at making your comparison videos.

I just ordered, the windmaster, excited to give this one a try.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Congrats, I’m sure you will not be disappointed 👍🏻 it’s a great one!

Great content, I really like your channel. I have both the Amicus and the Windmaster and they are both very good. I bought the Amicus without piezo because I'd had a piezo fail. The Windmaster is exceptional in windy conditions and incredibly quick and quiet. I use it with the Triflex pot support and at 67g it's hard to beat for the performance. It's the Thermarest Xtherm of stoves, slightly more than you need most of the time but when conditions are bad, nothing else comes close.

@roberthammenrudh 5 месяцев назад

A big thanks 🙏🏻 and totally agree to all you just said ☝🏻

@wishdarkstalkaz4050 Год назад

Went from a Jetboil clone to the Windmaster at the start of the year...can squeeze it in my Toaks 750ml along with a 100g gas canister, lighter & scrubby. It’s literally a perfect stove in my humble opinion.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

I would also like to be able to nest it in my pot but uses the small 500 ml so not a chance 😄 glad to hear you have a good experience with the WM 👍🏻

Always solid videos … something being offered in Sweden next summer 2023 is Wild Pedagogies Colloquium.

@PolarRed Год назад

Windmaster, with the Soto thermostack (but swapping out the 750 SS for a toaks Ti) FTW

@sharkusZ Год назад

Hi Robert. Soto gear has always been great. I have used the Amicus with piezo ignition for many years and it has never let me down. The Windmaster is on my wishlist, but... n+1, right? 😊

@1stRanger 10 месяцев назад

SOTO Windmaster is an excellent stove. I have no regrets buying it and pot supports are not tricky to use at all. In fact they're one of the quickest and easiest pot supports to use on the market.

@roberthammenrudh 10 месяцев назад

I agree… after changing to the Windmaster I haven’t even thought about another stove… well, that was a lie 😄 I would really much be able to do a comparison to the pocket rocket deluxe in a future episode so… 🤷🏼‍♂️😄 but that’s the only reason! Love the Windmaster

@jantomaszrogala4230 Год назад

all true, it was love from the first sight, or from the first boil, should I say, the moment i got it, both brs3000 and pocketrocket deluxe moved to the back burner ;)

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Same for me, I didn’t expect to like it that much but… an easy decision to switch to the Windmaster that’s for sure 🙂

@my_handle.... Год назад

Hi, I didn't like the removable pot stands of the Windmaster. I chose the MSR pocket rocket deluxe because it is one piece.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

I do understand because that’s my only concern…one more piece of gear to keep track of 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻

@mr.g343 Год назад

Love my Soto Windmaster. Used it for my PCT thru-hike, + some other short trips. Don't know if this is normal behaviour, but sometimes when I turn my stove off it continues to burn a little, and sometimes it doesn't. I would notice a fuel smell. Maybe it is the micro regulator, or a damaged o-ring? Anyway, I always unscrew the stove after I am done using it so as to not lose fuel.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

I also always unscrew the stove from the canister and I had the same thing sometimes when using the Amicus…probably high pressure form the canister. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@timsamoa5944 Год назад

I like the jetboil mighty mo

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Sorry for late reply…didn’t see this message! I haven’t tried the mighty mo but on the pictures it seems a bit of a distance between the burner head and the feet…any problems in windy conditions or works fine?

@mfinn4463 Год назад

Really well made video. Any experience of the Swedish Optimus Crux / Lite? Do you think the Soto are better? Certainly more popular.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Thanks 🙏🏻 and we’ll, I haven’t tried the Crux but it seems to be a regular needle valve regulator and more comparable to Amicus so can’t see the Crux being better than the Windmaster…and it’s also heavier and without the igniter/piezo. But I would be glad to try one if I can get my hands on one 🙂

@mfinn4463 Год назад

@@roberthammenrudh yes i think you're right. I have the Crux Lite 73g, the valve is a little 'springy', you have to dial further than needed as it springs back. But i like it and it does the job, if i were to buy again it would be the Windmaster.

@Reuben_hikes Год назад

Great review. The Windmaster is my favorite stove. I rarely use my BRS anymore. I have had a few of them. Not really impressed with it. I would rather carry a little extra weight and bulk and take the soto any day. I have used it in below freezing temps with no problems. It is my favorite canister stove.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Thanks and glad you liked the review 🙏🏻👍🏻🙂 and yea… an only agree, saves me 5 grams compared to the Amicus plus no need for a mini bic saves me additional 11. Not much but the WM performs so much better it’s a no brainier!! Like the BRS though as well but so bad in windy conditions I rarely think about bringing it!!

Intressant, å bra test, å vilken tur att jag la pengarna på windmaster, när jag uppgraderade min lättviktspackning, så att jag inte köpte grisen i säcken.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Tack och ja, du gjorde ett bra val 👍🏻🙂

@lindaclarbull962 Год назад

Windmastern är den bästa brännaren jag testat! Är väldigt nöjd med den!

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Kan bara hålla med, en fantastisk brännare och otroligt effektiv 👍🏻 nu har jag egentligen ingen anledning att använda min Amicus 🤷🏼‍♂️ enkelt byte!

@user-nt8mt3zv2t 10 месяцев назад

Have you seen the chineese gas stove Campingmoon, it`s like Soto+MSR in one pocket, cheap but fine quality.

@roberthammenrudh 10 месяцев назад

New to me, need to check them out! Thanks for the tip

@romererunamerika9437 Год назад

regulator have both stoves both are quality but prefer the winemaster for quiet and the regulator

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Yes it is much quieter and a better regulator, Amicus is a great budget stove but the Windmaster is just a better stove!’ And… a merry Xmas to you 🎄

@VapourTrailz 7 месяцев назад

Don't suppose anybody would know if a Windmaster would fit in an evernew eca521r 750ml pasta pot with a triflex support and a 100gram canister too please? As I have an amicus which is fine but would love to shave that weight a little bit and up that wind resistance as well. Ive checked the dim's and it seems close... Cheers

@VapourTrailz 6 месяцев назад

Answer this myself then - yes it does, but vertically, you can put it sideways but it deforms the thin metal of the pot preventing the lid to clip on correctly.

@MrDanAng1 Год назад

I think you are right... the Amicus is a good enough stove... I'm glad I bought the Windmaster, but I think I could easily have managed with the Amicus. But for me, the Windmaster was a buy once, cry once thing.

@roberthammenrudh Год назад

Often when buying the top of the line products it’s a buy once, cry once scenario 😄
