FMS-116T Titanium Backpacking Stove

What fuel canisters does the FMS-116T use?

The stove connects directly to standard EN417 threaded isobutane-propane canisters.

Keep the canister upright throughout use.
Fuel is sold separately.

Does it have a built-in igniter?

No. The FMS-116T requires a lighter, match, or suitable fire starter.

Manual ignition removes reliance on a built-in piezo, but it does not guarantee ignition or stove performance in every altitude or weather condition.

What cookware works best?

Use compact or medium backpacking pots whose bases make even contact with all three supports.

The broad burner head works particularly well with wider solo pots, but oversized frying pans and heavily loaded cookware may still create an unstable, top-heavy setup.

How wide is the flame?

The FMS-116T uses a wider burner head than many concentrated micro stoves.

This spreads the flame across more of the pot base, which can provide better heat coverage for wider backpacking pots. It does not guarantee perfectly even heating across every pan. Independent testing and long-term user reviews consistently identify the wider flame pattern as one of the stove’s main strengths.

Can the FMS-116T simmer?

The control valve allows the flame to be reduced for noodles, oatmeal, soup, sauces, and similar meals.

It offers more usable low-heat control than many focused micro burners, but it is still a lightweight canister stove rather than a dedicated precision-simmer burner. Monitor the flame continuously at low settings.
