Stove Tamer and Heat Diffuser Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The Stove Tamer is made from thick, space-age, sheet metal. The same material NASA uses in the duct work of their office heating systems. I use this to help control the temp of camp stoves. It also allows you to use metal cups and small pots on your stove that might otherwise fall through the pot supports. I've used mine a lot and it has started to deform into kind of a bowl shape. It still works but the same side has to be up all the time now.

I purchased this Item primarily for camping/backpacking. White gas camping stoves burn very hot and are very difficult to tame. Also most camping cook ware is very thin, you end up burning most things on the bottom of your cook ware. The Stove Tamer works great for helping control the heat source. Plus the Stove Tamer is very light and rugged making it compatible for backpacking.

After reading a few reviews, it sounded like what I was looking for & it is great. It fits perfectly with my Jet Boil stove & my MSR titanium pot. It is exactly what I needed, it heats up the entire bottom of the pot, love it. It is also lighter than I was expecting.

Honest reviews on Stove Tamer and Heat Diffuser

I bought this item for making congee (a kind of rice porridge) which requires a long cooking time. Before I bought the stove tamer the rice at the bottom of my cooking pot would be ruined. Using the stove tamer my congee cooks perfectly! The best thing about this product is its simplicity ... just a nicely shaped piece of aluminum. I'm going to buy a few for friends.

The Stove Tamer Heat Diffuser is a solid plate of non-ferrous metal (probably aluminum) that effectively increases the thickness of the bottom of your pan which slows and more evenly distributes heat. It measures 6 x 7 inches, is a good 1/16 inches thick, and weights 4.1 ounces.

I use the Stove Tamer Heat Diffuser to make the simmer ring on my Trangia Spirit Burner with Screwcap more efficient for slow-to medium cooking. (My cooking setup is a Trangia alcohol burner placed inside a Sterno Single Burner Folding Stove 50002. That is to say, the alcohol burner is placed on top of an empty-and-inverted small tuna can in the stove's wire-frame Sterno cradle. This provides a stable base for the burner and sets the flame at an efficient height.) The heat diffuser is placed on top of the Sterno stove with the Trangia burning, and the cooking pan is placed on top of the diffuser. It takes a few minutes for the energy to build up because of the added thickness, but you get this energy back by being able to cook for a few minutes after the flame goes out. When the temperature is where I want it for cooking, I drop the simmer ring onto the Trangia. For cooking eggs, I use about a 1/2 inch simmer ring opening. This diffuser helps to spread the heat of the narrow flame evenly across the bottom of the pan and keeps the temperature relatively constant.
