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!

Well made, good price point, not fussy about which brand of butane canister to use. Has a magnetic latch system. Fully on you can tell that it's got some btu's. Recommend.

I have had this portable gas stove for a little over a week now and have been using it daily. This is actually my second one that I’ve purchased and they both work great! I live in an apartment that has an electric stove with elements that have a mind of their own when it comes to keeping consistent heat. I’m really grateful that there is an economical option so I can cook with gas. It is super lightweight, easy to use and easy to transport as well. They come in really handy during times of power outages as well. There’s just something about cooking on a flame that makes every meal come out perfect! I highly recommend!

This is a sleek and functional gas burner with a small footprint - it’s perfect for KBBQ at home or outdoors! Setup was a breeze, and one butane canister lasts about two to two and a half hours with normal use. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

The old saying you get what you pay for definitely applies to this purchase. This is not a traditional camp stove. It is made in South Korea. It can be used to cook both in and outdoors, whereas camp stoves are generally limited to outside only. It’s well-made, comes with a magnetic connection for the canister, and definitely operates, looks and feels well made.

I needed a burner that cranks up the heat big time, easily portable, and a breeze to clean. THIS IS IT! Considering the low price compared to numerous other options, the TECHEF is a little dynamo! Taking the unit outside my apartment to sear a steak or blacken fish in an iron skillet is quick and efficient with great results. And no worries about triggering the smoke alarm or smelling up the whole apartment. The only drawback is the availability of the gas canisters. The unit arrived overnight, but my search around Dallas for butane fuel was a bust. Now that I have a three-can pack from a big box, I'll simply order more when I 'm on the last can. Not sure yet how long these will last.
