Soto Muka Stove (OD-1NP) -- Video Review

I've put together a video review on the new Soto Muka Stove (OD-1NP).   Soto clearly put a lot of time and effort into this new stove, and they've come out with a really nice product.  Have a look:



Interestingly, in Japan, the Muka is known as the SOD-371 whereas the stove is known as the OD-1NP in the United States. "Sod" has negative connotations in British English, so perhaps Soto decided to drop the "S" from their designator's prefix. I have no idea why they changed the number of the stove.

COLD WEATHER ADVISORY
I do have one fairly significant concern about the stove.  The directions say that the stove should not be used in temperatures below -4F/-20C due to possible fuel leakage issues.  If you like to do winter backpacking or mountaineering, consider carefully what temperatures you may be faced with before you decide to use a Muka.

Overall, the Soto Muka is a very nice stove, but do make sure to stay within its recommended temperature range.
