The Snow Peak Litemax is a titanium upright canister stove weighing just 56 g, making it one of the lightest gas stoves on the market. It uses an EN417 thread and delivers over 3,280 W (11,200 BTU), boiling a litre of water in roughly five minutes.
That low weight comes at the cost of wind resistance — the integrated windscreen built into the folding arms only helps so much, and in exposed terrain you'll want an additional flame shield. Unlike the Gigapower, the Litemax has no piezo ignition, so you'll need a lighter or matches, a typical trade-off for titanium ultralight stoves. The recommended pot diameter of up to 14 cm points toward solo cooking rather than larger group vessels.
For hikers counting every gram on long treks or chasing a low base weight, the Litemax is a standard pick in the titanium stove category — traded against weaker flame stability in wind compared to heavier models.
