The X-Boil is a lightweight alcohol stove system for hikers and solo campers who want to keep kit weight down. It burns methylated spirits (denatured alcohol) and packs small.
Unlike many ultralight burners that tip easily, the X-Boil pairs the burner with a matching windscreen/pot stand and titanium pot hooks for a more stable setup. Choose the model size that fits your pot from the options on this page.
Key points
- Alcohol (methylated spirits) fuel — no gas canister needed
- Windscreen / pot stand and titanium hooks included with system kits
- Several compact and ultralight options — see variants above
