The Turbo I-D (1.9 oz, 51gm) is an adjustable, minimalist solo stove suitable for one person. It's designed to be used with cook pots having a maximum base diameter of 5 inches (12.5 cm) and a maximum capacity of 1 liter. The Brasslite 700 ml and Brasslite 900 ml Titanium Mugs function well with the Turbo I-D. The Vargo 750 ml Titanium Mug, Vargo 750 ml Titanium Sierra Cup, Snow Peak 600 & 700 ml Titanium Mugs, and MSR Titan Kettle are also examples of appropriate pots for the Turbo I-D. See pot size recommendations for further information. See below for stove specifications.
The Turbo I-D is now available with custom stand extensions to improve stability with pots having a base diameter near the maximum recommended size.
Note: Stand extensions are permanently attached and without clipping to size, will prevent the stove from nesting inside cups. Choose this option only if you intend to use the stove with pots larger than 4"(10cm) in diameter, where fit will not be an issue.

Weight: 1.8 US oz. (51 gm) +
Fuel capacity: 1 US fluid oz. (30 ml)
Total burn time using 1 US fluid oz. (30 ml) of methanol is about 9:30 minutes*
Time to bring 16 US fluid oz.(475 ml) water to boil: 4:30 **

+ Weighed on Royal EX-2 digital scale accurate +/- 0.1 ounce.

* Tested in windless and light wind conditions, warm and cold temperatures. The average was taken. Burn time may be affected by environmental factors such as temperature, wind and conservation of heat inside the windscreen. Field tests have shown that wrapping a windscreen too close to the stove while using a pot with less than 5 in (13 cm) diameter base may dramatically reduce burn time.

** Stove trials involved three test burns, and the average time is posted. Cookpot used for Turbo I-D tests: Brasslite 0.9 Liter Titanium Mug. Starting water temp: 50 degrees F.(10 C). Interior environment was used. Room and fuel temps: 70 degrees F (22 C). Elevation: 80 ft. No simulated wind, but windscreen was used. Stove sitting on plywood surface. Starting fuel amount used for Turbo I-D: 1 US fluid oz (30 ml.) plus 2 ml preheat. The Turbo I-D consistently boiled 16 oz (500 ml.) in an average time of 5 minutes. Pot size and proportion, metal type and thickness, wind conditions, windscreen position, lower starting temperature of water, lower outside air temperature, and elevation may all increase field boil times.


Please note: Stoves do not include a fuel dispenser bottle. Fuel dispenser bottles are a separate-order item. Brasslite fuel dispenser bottles are a very convenient and accurate fuel dispensing solution but are not required to use the stove. Many hikers use a standard 20 oz. soda bottle for carrying fuel and dispense fuel using the cap.

If you are interested in having a pot cozy to use in conjunction with your stove (saves lots of fuel!), return to this page after ordering and click here for more information. Brasslite highly recommends a pot cozy as an alternative to simmering.
