Best Ultralight Backpacking Stoves Under 5oz

When every ounce of your pack matters, the stove earns its slot by weight alone. A burner under five ounces boils water in real wind, fast enough to justify the fuel can, and packs to nothing — which is why the thru-hiker crowd treats weight as a filter before price. This page compares the camp stoves in the PackedOut catalog that come in under five ounces of burner hardware, side by side on weight, dimensions, material, fuel, and price. Pick by where you actually hike: low-wind canyons favor a radiant burner, exposed ridges favor a shielded remote canister stove, and the truly minimalist pack collapses around a bare titanium burner that nests inside the fuel can.
