Iwatani 35FW Single-Burner Butane Portable Cooktop Indoor & Outdoor Cooking Stove Medium

I have wanted one of these butane powered cooktops for a while. I don't know about you, but sometimes I don't like messing up the big cooktop after I spent 20 minutes cleaning it. Sometimes I get a little wild with Italian cooking and my pan tossing skills don't always work out well. What I'm saying is, cooking can be messy and I wanted a non-induction portable cooktop that I could use on the kitchen island with a silicone mat, outdoors on a table, or if I needed to tailgate, I could take it with me.There are plenty of these available and if you watch any folks cooking on YouTube, you've proba

I assumed all of these portable butane burners were cheap Chinese products and were all the same. I was thoroughly embarrassed by my cheap burner during a picnic with friends when the meat I was cooking took 3x longer to cook and ended up a soggy mess with no sear. I had to transfer my meat to one of my friend’s burners to finish cooking after he had already finished 3 rounds of meat. I immediately searched butane burners when I got home and found this Iwatani burner, and was impressed that it was made in Japan. The difference in heat output is amazing, and blows my old burner away! It even bo

Iwatani Store: Iwatani 35FW Single-Burner Butane Portable Stove, High Power 15,000BTU/Hr., w/CaseThis product is the Iwatani 35FW single-burner butane stove. This portable butane-powered stove is perhaps, the most powerful single-burner butane stove available today with its 15,000 BTU/hour heat output. The brass burner unit is capable of putting out more heat than any other butane stove that I am aware of. Consequently, this stove may be used with a Wok at the temperatures necessary for the proper use of a Wok. It can also continuously heat a cast iron frying pan to the temperatures necessary

Well-packaged and lightweight. Perfect for a portable grill. It is large enough to use my 12” flat bottom wok, which is the reason I bought it. I plan to stir fry many Asian dishes but need to be outside. Otherwise my tiny house would be smoke-filled and stinky. This portable grill gives me that flexibility and can generate the necessary heat for stir-frying. (Up to 15,000 BTU) Even the flame pattern is suited for stir-frying. The stove has a double windbreaker to help prevent uneven heating and blowout.It also comes with a hard plastic, molded case. This protects and makes it easy to transpor

I've only used this stove a few times, and I like it a lot! This Iwatani stove is so much easier to use compared to my Coleman single burner stove. With this Iwatani stove, I simply open the lid, insert butane cannister, close the lid, press the dial to on position, and bam! Fire instantly comes on nice and hot! I can then lower the heat by turning the dial the other direction. When done cooking, I simply take the butane cannister and place the cap back on, then insert the cannister back into the compartment BACKWARDS for easy storage when not in use. I got this tip from other user comment (th

A nicely made unit that gets hot at full 'throttle'! The reason I didn't give it a 5-star, and through no fault of the manufacturer, was some damage when received. Not a fault of any noticeable shipping as the larger Amazon box this unit was shipped in showed no damage. But the plastic case was broken with the hinges broken, and parts laying around. The stove itself had a small dent in the back.Also slight stains on the unit made me wonder if this was a used unit. Or maybe it sat unprotected in the environment at some point. But I decided it likely wasn't used as there were no metal signs of d

Update:It is wonderful for the hotpot meal. Even with a large donabe, it can bring it to a rolling boil very quickly and the valve response is very precise when needed to turn it down for a simmer.I also checked the CO meter in the dinning room. I didn’t even do anything special to improve the ventilation in the room and the meter read zero after we haves used it for two hours.——-original review———I have alway had this type of portable stoves at home for shabu shabu (hotpot). I recently had a reason to make stir fry with a wok away from home so I got this.At 15K BTU/hr, it is comparable in out

This is an excellent burner. I used it to boil pasta in a 16-quart pot this evening, and it came to a rapid boil. The water boiled faster than it does on my stove top! Given its quality, it was well worth the higher price. The Japanese never disappoint when it comes to well-made, well-constructed products. As a matter of fact, I came back to this product because it performed so well, I am purchasing another.~~ Update: 11/11/2025 - FIVE MORE STARS!My son took this to an outing at San Diego Bay with his friend and their little children. His friend liked the burner so much that I've come back aga
