What this is about
When the stove arrived I could not believe my eyes, and from the picture you may realize why this was so, it shows the stove when folded:
I shall say a bit more about that below, but here to stress that this is a threaded type stove with three support arms. The picture below shows the connector socket with its threads and pin, this part you attach to a corresponding threaded gas canister.
The stove material is a titanium alloy and aluminum. But I must admit that I have no idea what 3000T in the official name mean.
There are some interesting details in the fire-plate area, as you see from the picture below. With such a design the flame is well distributed over the bottom of a pot.
The package includes three elements: the stove itself, a carry pouch, and a spare sealing O-ring, all are shown in the picture below. Note that there is such a ring already installed in the previously mentioned connection socket.
The stove is very easy to use, you simply unfold its three arms, attach the stove to an appropriate threaded gas canister, open the gas switch, and ignite with a match or an igniter which you have. Please see more in my video:
Who is the BRS Stove 3000T for
Regarding the weight and packed size, as of the moment of writing this text, I do not think that you can find anything lighter and more compact on the market.
This stove weighs only 0.92 oz (26 g). Clearly, it is three times lighter than my previous MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove.
Below you can see how it compares with my fire starter which is heavier than the stove.
Dimensions when folded are shown in the picture, as you realize they are simply incredible:
Regarding power and best use, I have seen very different numbers around. On Amazon you will read it is 1940 W, but at Walmart they write 2700 W.
It is far from clear what the real value is, but I do not think this is so important. This is a tiny outdoor item for simple meals, so do not expect miracles.
I see it as a perfect stove for people who count grams when they pack their backpacks. This is a stove for solo use, or even for two outdoor partners, just make sure that you have appropriate size small cookware.
The picture below illustrates the span of the support arms which are under your pot, note that this is around 7 centimeters only.
Regarding the price, this stove is incredibly affordable, please follow the links below and compare the prices.

Final thoughts & rating
In summary, the BRS-3000T stove is a highly compact, ultralight, and budget-friendly option ideal for backpackers, hikers, and mountaineers focused on minimizing weight.
Weighing only 0.92 oz (26 g) and folding down to an impressively small size, it’s one of the lightest stoves available, making it perfect for solo use or two-person trips with small cookware.
Although its exact power output varies by retailer, this titanium alloy stove performs well for basic cooking needs. It’s easy to use but requires an external igniter, and is best suited for smaller or narrower pots.
With an affordable price and strong design, the BRS-3000T is a solid choice for ultralight enthusiasts.
Below you can see how I rate this backpacking stove against my usual rating criteria so that you can easily compare it with other items of this type:
