Great demonstration

I'd love to see an update of this with the original MSR PocketRocket added. I still have one, and it's my backup, now, but it would be interesting to see how it performs in a similar test.

It should be somewhere between the Fire Maple Hornet II and the Pocket Rocket 2: not great in teh wind. That's why we make windscreens for them.

I've always wondered why anyone would bother with the SOTO Windmaster, considering the awful pot support design (which is why I chose the Amicus, instead), and now I understand why. Its support to pot distance is much, much lower than even the Amicus.

Excatly! The Amicus is a great stove. the WindMaster is just better.

Windscreen, Windscreen, windscreen!!!!! ☝️

Agreed, agreed, agreed!

That tiny glowing red leg of the BRS3000 makes me wonder if it’s possible get it hot enough to bend under the weight of a full pot

Possible. But they are not the only ones who can get teh pot support arms red hot.

I have heard anecdotal evidence that this is something that actually happens with the BRS3000T.

So it looks like, in my very amateur opinion, the closer the burner is to the pot, the more efficient the burner can perform in higher winds. Which makes sense with stoves like the MSR Windburner, which has a close burner with an intergrated windscreen system on how well it works. I know its not a stove that would be featured in a Flat Cat Gear video, but a very well performing stove nevertheless.

Well, the MSR WindBurner is the Gold Standard for fuel efficiency and robustness in the wind.

The pocket rocket 2 is a weird middle ground stove. It’s not as compact as a BRS3000, but more compact than the pocket rocket delux, and it’s about the same with wind as the BRS3000, so what’s the point of it?

At that price point, the Soto Amicus is probably a better choice. Just my opinion.
