great stove can be testy to start First the stove is great. Only two items of concern...it takes a little practice to get the burner heated so that it cooks properly. A large flame that starts the stove must preheat the burner prior to cooking and may cause you to panic if you don't expect it and have not closed the fuel off just after lighting it. Second small concern is the in ablity for the stove to simmer. Any food must be stirred/watched at all times or it will burn. All in all a great stove. Hint: I recommend 3oz of fuel/perday/person. DO NOT USE INDOORS.

Best Stove Ever Not just the best but it has proven itself time and time again. Never once have i ever had a problem. i've gone on long trips with this thing and used a reasonable size bottle, the mid size, and didnt run out of fuel tell the last day, it was a 7 day adventure. Also its lightwieght and adapts well for those who want to put big pots on it, great for group hiking. Its one of the must have stoves i will encourage people to buy.

Great Stove, Lots of heat Cooked BIG pot (10 quart) of chili for camping program. Very hot, need to constantly stir and scrape bottom of pot. Small, light, easy to clean. Tricky to start sometimes, but one gets used to its quirks.
