Experimental ultralight gas stove prototype designed for lightweight hiking and outdoor use.
Originally developed in 2007, the BME UltraCooker was a compact gas stove focused on extremely low weight, portability and practical outdoor use. At only 62.5 grams, it was among the lightest gas stoves of its time.
A new generation design is currently under development and will be added here later.
