This little pocket stove is awesome. My dad and i each got one to go on a 7 day hiking/canoing/camping trip in Northern Minnisota with the family. We cooked everyday for 6 people and only used two 8oz canisters of fuel. This little stove is extremely light weigt and small. It boils a 2L pot of water in no time and it turns way down low to simmer if needed. And, you can fold it up and put it in any messkit.

I like everything about the stove except for the fact that the starter stopped workign on the first trip I took with it. I easily used a match to ignite the flame. I will have to return it to see if this happens again, because other than that I am very pleased with it's performance. It actually boiled a cup of water faster than my friend's jet boil and takes up much less space and weight.

It's a very good stove. Easy to setup and compact. Piezo ignitor does not always light.
