I got one of these in August 2016. I liked it so well I bought a second one (which I've kept pristine for... someday).
I used the first one at home multiple times per day (not every day but more days than not). Finally it started not quite shutting down fully. At first I noticed a very small flame dance across the burner surface even after closing the valve fully.
I found I could light the gas escaping the jet (through the air holes).

I emailed Soto. They're sending me a new one. More than I could have expected since the stove is well over a year old. I'm only posting this as a testament to their customer service.

chuggerI had a similar experience with Soto. My pocket torch stopped igniting (I still had a spark, still heard gas flowing, just could NOT get it to light). One email and I had a new one on the way. They sent it USPS Express so I'd have it in time for my weekend trip.

Would this be a good option for actual cooking (not just boiling water)?

The burner head itself is quite a bit wider than "normal", but the flame pattern is still concentrated in the middle. To help combat this, I use an Olicamp XTS pot, which has a heat exchanger ring much like a Jetboil. Just keep the flame low and you're good.

Greatdanesweet. I'll see if I can find something like that in a frying pan or skillet (I'm looking for a cooking setup that'll let me do some fancier cooking on easier trips with friends).

If I didn't already have two of these, I'd jump on it for this price. (Especially since it includes the 4flex)
BTW, the burner and a 110g MSR cartridge fits in a Snow Peak 700mL and a Vargo 700mL BOT.

(With the BOT, I put the burner in first so the lid will screw on.)

CardamomteaNo, I don't remember. I already had mine.
But it looks like it might have been about $55 USD according to this site: http://www.rokslide.com/forums/gear-deals/74724-soto-windmaster-massdrop.html

I already own one of these, so I'll put this here for anyone wondering: quality wise, this is hands-down the best upright canister stove I've ever seen. The Piezo is actually protected from damage by running up the inside of the stove, and the electrode doesn't hang out right in the fire. Wind will still affect boil times, but won't blow the flame out. I use this with my Olicamp XTS pot, and it boils water with a quickness. Hikin' Jim has done a review of this stove, if you have any doubt left go read his review.
Edit: As an aside, I hope we see more Soto equipment. They have some really nifty things on their site that are only sold in Japan, so maybe we can get some of them over to the States?

What's the difference between this and the Soto amicus?

that's exactly what simmer control means. believe it or not it can be a real challenge for many canister stoves as well. with liquid stoves you can at least control the pressurization of the tank to fake it out a bit even if the stove itself doesn't simmer very well.

Hi. Does anyone know if this stove with either the 3 or 4 leg pot supports will fit inside an Evernew Pasta 1.0L pot along with the MSR 110g/3.9oz canister? I can't find the stove anywhere in person to check it out. Thanks.

Did I just miss this? I got an email this morning (Australian east coast time - about 4 hrs ago) so came on to purchase and now it's saying 'drop ended'. Is the email just to get me involved in the 'request' or was it available and I just missed out? Sad times.

bloozMaybe it sold out? It became for sale again yesterday, had four days left, but it's sold out now. Drop must not get too many units to sell. I love mine; I reccomend it to everyone I know!

I've been wanting one of these for a while now. Finally found the best deal! Going to use it with an Evernew pot for a lighter stove option than my Primus.

Elk_NewbieMe too! Replacing my Primus ETA Lite from a few years back (I tried a BRS-3000T this year but it has already broken -- shoddy threads)

+1 for me. Love mine and used it in some fairly windy condition in fall and no issues - lives up to its name. Packs into my Snow peak 900 ti with a 230g canister - with the bigger 4flex.

Keep checking back and would love to see this drop again. In the meantime, nothing much to buy on Drop after the GraniteGear Crown 2 I bought, unfortunately.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gqm-Uyb6p8 To take it off you should only have to remove the one small screw. To put it back you'd remove the larger screw and replace the small one. (And maybe rebend the tiny tab?) Personally, I always have two sources of ignition. If I removed the ignition I'd carry two Mini Bics. (Or a Mini Bic and something else) So if I left the ignition on I'd just have one Mini Bic. (As a backup) I'm pretty certain the ignitor weighs less than half what a Mini Bic weighs. In my case, I'd carry more weight if I removed the ignitor. But I really like the ignitor. It works so well that I'd never remove it. And if it quit working, I'd replace it.
