TECHEF - AGNI Portable Butane Gas Stove Burner, Camp Stove, Made in Korea

What started as a venture for increased efficiency ended with this little gem. Allow me to explain.For many years I cooked on a 5 burner propane range, which at the time was appropriate because we had a larger family. But the oven was cavernous, very slow to preheat, and the burner rings warped easily. After replacing the thermostat and another costly part in my oven, as well as the burner rings several times, to the tune of several hundred dollars, I was over it. I began looking around for affordable options, and wasn’t sure I wanted another range. It was at this time I discovered the Breville Air countertop oven. I bought it, and immediately loved it... a keeper!Oven problem solved...now my search turned to burners/cooktops. As I use my pressure cooker daily, I really only needed a single burner. I researched and bought an induction burner. I used it for a while and was very happy with it. But living in Maine I did need some sort of back up burner that did not rely on electricity. After some youtube research for alternative stoves, I discovered butane burners. I learned butane is a favorite of preppers, and in Korea, Japan, etc. to cook on table tops. Brilliant!!! After some additional research on Amazon, I purchased this burner.After arrival, I unboxed it, and was immediately struck by it’s clean lightweight design. I popped a canister of butane in and fired it up. I was immediately smitten. The lovely blue flame adjusts to a low simmer and up high to make things come to a boil very quickly. And the sound this thing makes when it lights up is just delectable- it’s a soft “woosh” that I just love! It’s use of fuel is very efficient, it’s Lightweight so it’s easy to move for cleaning, and the top pops off for a quick wash up in the sink. The butane canisters snap in easily, and stays firmly in place with a magnet. To start, you simply turn the knob to the far left...no extra switch to push. It looks great on my countertop.This unit was supposed to be a back up burner in the event of a power outage, but it has ended up being my primary cooking burner. Between the Breville oven, my microwave, pressure cooker, and this wonderful little burner, I have everything I need to turn out delicious and healthy meals, very efficiently. As a result, I got rid of my bulky, fuel gobbling, hard to clean propane stove. In its place I have a new stainless steel stand with shelving for the Breville and it’s accessories, and a lovely woven basket that holds my extra cans of butane for my cooker. While this wouldn’t necessarily be ideal for larger families, it is primarily just my husband and I now, and this set up works perfectly for us.I am so happy with the burner, and will buy another in the event that I need a second burner. Or, simply because I love it so much I really wouldn’t mind having another one to look at!

This burner is amazing for everything, not just Korean BBQ. I cook anything that needs a high heat flame on it, especially outdoors. The flame is unlike anything I’ve ever cooked on, and I cook on roaring hot charcoal pretty often. This burner is way hotter so it’s something to keep in mind when you blast it on high. Well built and easy to use too!

Been using this for about 2 months, and so far it has worked fabulously! Butane gives out a much higher BTU rate compared to your traditional propane gas stove burner. What this means is that you're able to boil water faster, bring your pots and pans to a much higher temperature faster, and generally cook certain meals faster. Albeit, faster doesn't always equate to a better quality meal in some cases. I just really like this because as someone who isn't a professional chef, but wants to get a decent meal cooked for my nutritional needs, this gets the job done. This portable butane burner is incredibly lightweight and low-profile, so it doesn't take a lot of space, which is what I wanted. This works perfectly every time I ignite the burner, without fail so far. I was able to cook pasta, make pancakes, cook eggs, fried rice, sausages, you name it.The only thing about this, which isn't really a complaint, is that if you always keep the gas level really high, it'll use up the butane faster. You can lower it a lot more, and it will still keep the temperature just as hot as the hottest propane gas stove level. That way, you'll be able to stretch your butane gas canister longer.

I bought this to cook Korean BBQ at home, there were a few posts that I read that marked this stove top as superior to others on the market. It has some cool safety features, I like the satisfying click when you fire it up, and it generates a ton of heat. It feels pretty sturdy.On the down side, the area where the butane cylinder is held is actually taller than the plane of the stovetop. So any large Korean BBQ pan is going to hang over and sit on this part. It's not much but it does give a slight slant. I was trying to ignore this issue but then noticed that there is a warning on the inside of the butane compartment saying "Don't use oversized pans" because they will cause the butane cylinder to heat up. I have found that when I check on the cylinder after using the stove top it's pretty warm. I didn't see anything warning me about this on the site so this blindsided me a bit.Still, works very well ignoring the pan size restrictions and seems sturdy.

I bought this years ago，and I wud likebto leave a review on this now because it really works pretty well. and one more tip for everyone who is considering a stove like this： Make sure that you pot on the stove is not too big. If it is way too big，it may push down the flame，and heat up the gas holder. That wud be dangerous. Not specific to this product，but to all the stoves in this design. Follow the tip，then you will be fine. For this stove，it‘s portable and high quality.

I saw this table-top gas burner on several YouTube cooking channels and tried it on a windy day, cooking a batch of Steamed Clams (Steamers). On a blustery, windy day on my deck (really challenging for my Webber accessory burner!), I was able to prepare my clams in 5 minutes. Yummy.The burner was so hot, it initially boiled over which I was very able to adjust to an appropriate simmer. Excellent temperature control.I was pleased to also find clean-up was a jiffy, the tray removes and no difficult corners to clean. I was considering a built-in natural gas burner for my outdoor kitchen. This burner addresses the need handily and for substantially less money than $2,000 for a built-in burner.Very Happy!

We now only cook on this instead of stove. Also great for camping/ storms
