Great stove. Use mainly to heat water for coffee and meals. Great flame adjustability. I recently used the vesta with the GSI ketalist tea pot and GSI Java drip coffee maker. The vesta will pack inside the ketalist for extra protection. This is the perfect stove for everyone except the extreme backpacker. For my needs, the extra weight is worth the great stability.

I have used this stove in many conditions, even in heavy rain and wind and has never failed. Biggest plus is that it keeps up with much higher priced stoves and performs better. Highly Recommend

I love my vesta stove. I have used it dirt bike ring in the desert, hunting in the sierra mountains, and camping trips on my mountain bike where the weight really matters. The stove folds to fit in your pocket yet is still large enough to hold a large pot very sturdy. The extended gas line makes the stove adapt to many surfaces such as flat ground, slopes, or if there is leaf litter I put the stove on a rock. The wide feet make it easy to set up on a rock which is hard to do with a bottle mounted stove and not have your dinner in the dirt. I boiled 2 1/2 cups of water in 4 minutes at 50 degrees farenheight outside temperture. I have not had a chance to use this stove on a calm night either, works very well in the wind without a screen. I give this product two thumbs up.
