Overview
So many schools and groups are switching to this new Endurance Lava 400 stove because it is stronger, simpler, and more affordable, designed specifically for group use. It is constructed from hard-anodised aluminium, which is much stronger, more tolerant of extreme temperatures, and easier to clean than standard aluminium. It incorporates a number of common-sense group features, such as the gas hose arch (no more trying to thread a large gas tap through a small hole!) and brightly coloured handle and strap (easy to spot on the campsite). This makes it easier for the students to use, and easier for you back at the kit store.

Group-friendly features
The Endurance Lava is built with students and expedition leaders in mind. The focus is on simplicity – simple for the students to use, and simple for you back at the kit-store.
KEY ENDURANCE FEATURE
Gas hose arch
Everyone has had the problem of trying to teach students how to fit a bulky gas tap through a small hole in the side of the stove base. For the Endurance Lava 400 we decided to remove the hole and replace it with a small arch at the bottom. The arch can then simply be place over the gas hose without the need to thread the gas tap through.
KEY ENDURANCE FEATURE
Brightly coloured components
Group leaders told us students often lose small stove items, such as the handle and strap. The Lava handle and strap are bright orange to make them more visible on the campsite, thereby greatly reducing the chances of them being left behind.
KEY ENDURANCE FEATURE
Hard anodized cookware
The Lava 400 is constructed from hard-anodized aluminium. This has a number of advantages: It is easier to clean – hard-anodizing has a ‘non-stick’ effect, but without the fragile non-stick coating. It is much stronger – the pans do not get bent as easily. And it is much more resistant to temperature extremes – a standard aluminium pan will burn through in minutes if left empty over a gas flame. A hard-anodized aluminium pan will never burn through.
“The Lava 400 from Endurance isn’t revolutionary, its evolutionary. The bright retaining strap, hard anodized pans, robust design and compatibility with existing stoves means that it is most certainly worth a look. The price will also help it become a good addition to any expedition groups stores.”
