Overview
The Laga Stove Cooking Kit by Fjern is a comprehensive and thoughtfully designed camping stove set, aimed at outdoor enthusiasts who prioritise both functionality and style.
This kit promises to deliver efficient cooking performance while being lightweight, compact and versatile, making it an ideal companion for camping, backpacking, and other outdoor adventures.
Design and Build Quality of the Fjern Laga Stove
One of the standout features of the Laga Stove Cooking Kit is its sleek design. The kit includes the stove, a pot, a pan rest, gas can tripod, all of which are crafted from high-quality, durable materials.
The build quality is robust, ensuring that the kit can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. The pot and pan stand are made from anodised aluminium, which is lightweight yet sturdy, and they feature a non-stick coating that makes cooking and cleaning a breeze.
The stove itself is compact and foldable, allowing it to be easily packed away when not in use. The kit comes with a convenient carry bag that helps keep everything organised and protected. The rust color adds a unique touch to the kit, distinguishing it from other camping cookware sets on the market.
These type of stoves are really great at quickly boiling a pot of water for a brew or a freeze dried meal but generally they aren’t very good a cooking other meals. The great thing about the Fjern Laga stove is that it comes with a pots stand allowing you to cook using a frying pan or another pot making it easier to cook a ‘real’ meal. Normally all the accessories that you get with the Laga stove are optional extras that you need to pay separately for.
Performance
In terms of performance, the Laga Stove Cooking Kit excels. The stove features a powerful burner that can boil water quickly and evenly distribute heat, making cooking more efficient.
The adjustable flame control allows for precise cooking, whether you need a gentle simmer or a rolling boil.
The stove’s stability is impressive, thanks to its wide base and sturdy pot supports, which can hold various pot sizes securely.
The pot and pan rest are designed to nest together for compact storage, and they provide ample cooking space for preparing meals in the wilderness. The non-stick surface works effectively, preventing food from sticking and making cleanup much easier, even when using minimal water – a crucial consideration when camping, although personally I would use this pot for boiling water only or reconstituting something like mashed potato.
Ease of Use
Setting up and using the Laga Stove Cooking Kit is straightforward. The stove operates on standard camping gas canisters, which are easy to attach and replace. The folding design of the stove and the nesting cookware ensure that the kit takes up minimal space in your backpack. The inclusion of a mesh storage bag adds to the convenience, allowing you to keep all components together and carry them easily.
The handles on the pot is insulated also the pot is covered in a neoprene sleeve so you can pick it up and also to keep whatever inside warm. The Laga stove ergonomically designed, providing a comfortable and safe grip. They also fold away neatly, contributing to the compact nature of the kit. Additionally, the kit includes a lid with a steam vent and a heat-resistant knob, further enhancing its practicality.
