Review Abstract Outdoor enthusiasts praise the Peak 1 Xpert. This “quiet” stove is “compact,” “lightweight” and easy to assemble, light and use. Fuel is available in two sizes of cartridges. Used canisters are “crushable,” “recyclable” and located throughout a variety of countries. The flame adjustment allows you to simmer your food. Although during cold weather starting time can be delayed, most agree that this is an “excellent product.”

Summary: I just came back to the reviews on this stove to see if there were any complaints in the cold weather. I already have a review on this stove and I think it's great. I think someone was right however when they said this stove's threshold may be 0. In negative weather my stove did not preform well at all. But two of my freinds that I was with also had the same stoves and we all had different cold weather experiences. The newest stove of the three started the quickest. But he also had a full fuel container. The stove with the half empty fuel container wouldn't start until the fuel was warmed and the third stove wouldn't light and was given up on that morning. All three stoves have worked fine since. It should also be noted that neg 20 was the temp of the night before. This winter I'am going to end the question of weather it's the fuel or the stove or both. With the same three freinds one is going to sleep with the stove, one with a full fuel bottle, and one with both. I will write back on the results.

Summary: I bought this stove after reading in the older backpacker mags about how good it was. I wonder if they were using hte same stove I was. mine worked for about 5 to 6 months and then about half the burner would only work. The only way to get around this was to run it full blast. I took it back to the store I had gotten it from and after many failed attempts to try and fix it(one guy said to spray it with wd40 then light it up). I got my money back and bought a primus multi fuel and it is the best thing I have ever boughten. Took the primus out hiking yesterday in -28 degrees celcius and it works like a charm. All I had were problems with this stove and I would not trust it for any serious hiking or packing!
Customer Service: I had a really hard time at the retailer even getting ahold of the company and was very disappointed with the guy on the phone and his wd40 idea.

Summary: This stove is great!This summer I was out at Philmont Scout Ranch in NM and we had 2 camp stoves. A Peak 1 Xpert and a Peak 1 Multi-fuel. The xpert fired right up, while the other stove took a few minutes to light because of pumping it up. The Xpert boiled water in minutes, it was great! The water on the Xpert was meant to be for clean-up, but it got done so fast we used it for our cooking water! When i returned from my 115 mile expedition from Philmont, i bought one! It is well worth it!

Summary: Lights quick. Boils fast. Packs small. Fule availability was scarce in Alaska. Customer service said that fuel availability would be sparse until next year due to a fire at the factory the produces the fuel. If not for the fuel availability the stove would rate higher.
Customer Service: Had one cylinder with low pressure. Customer service said to send in receipt for a refund.

Summary: This stove is really a great product. I bought it about 6 months ago, and have used it on several camping trips. On one in particular up to the Trinity Alps, the temperature was in the low teens, and I had left some water in the pot overnight. The stove light quickly and easily, and boiled the water faster than I could get my waders and wading boots on. I was having hot coffee in no time!
