The Spider is proving popular because it is not seated on a canister but has a fuel line that connects to a canister placed safely away from the stove. A common problem with some stove designs with built-in ignitors is how problematic it can be getting an ignition system repaired or changed. There are good advantages to using a separate handheld ignitor. Many stoves have a built-in ignitor and the Spider designers have said no to this. This stove can safely support all pot sizes. The low gravity posture of the Spider stove puts it ahead of many other types of small stoves which are not safe or stable enough to be used with tall and large cooking pots. Many other brands and models do not match the stability levels which are offered by the Spider through its unique low-to-the-ground squat style. The Kovea Spider compares really well against all other small camping stoves. There is really not much that can happen to the stove in terms of damage. This model does not have built-in extras and works along standard stove lines but offers a wider range of performance. ![]() The Kovea Spider has durability and again, this is due to thoughtful designing. It takes up very little space in a backpack and is well protected when carried inside a cooking pot. The stove folds up small enough to be stowed inside a liter cooking pot along with a canister of fuel. The stove can be easily controlled for a high flame or down to a gentle simmer this means nice ease of use for cooking at high and low heat. When it comes to other tripod stoves, even though supportive, there are risks of tipping over the stove when using larger and/or tall pots. The squat low to the ground design gives nice control over cooking pots and stability is assured, even for big pots. To compensate, consider bringing a gas lighter or matches. The Spider does not have a designed-in ignition system this stove system includes a handheld bush button ignitor and this is not a reliable ignition system in very cold weather. There is a downside for increased efficiency when inverting and this is the possibility of a brief flare up when the stove is initially fired up, much in the same way as seen with regular white gas or liquid fuel models. This versatility for winter cooking is because inverting enables the Kovea Spider stove to burn the fuel inside the canister in its liquid state, giving a heat advantage up to 15 degrees. The Spider can easily burn canister fuel while in its liquid form which gives even better performance in very cold weather. More efficiency for heat can be achieved in winter temperatures through inverting the canister. ![]() The windscreen has a double design purpose it protects the flam from breezing windy weather and the second function is how the screen can wrap around the stove and channel heat to the base of the pot. ![]() The Spider has a design that works well when using a windscreen while out cooking in snowy conditions. The tripod style leg structure squats low to the ground on long supportive legs it is very difficult to tip it over with such low-angled support. This is top efficiency for a small stove which weighs so little and is small enough to easily be carried in a hiking backpack. For car drivers and groups who go camping, this option is very useful to have because large meals can be prepared. The Kovea Spider stove has excellent stability while supporting tall pots, short broad pots or a frying pan.
