Haven't seen anyone review this and I do like this stove so here it is. The Good: - Been looking for a floor style stove so I can use the largest butane fuel canister (16oz). Plus this is a fraction of the cost for the MSR equivalent (WindPro 2, $135 MSRP). - Decent control range. Simmering might be tough. Picture shows minimum and maximum flame. 5mins boil time for 1L of water with the GSI Halulite 1.8L kettle(6.5 in base diameter). Without wind, on max flame, there is not much heat escape from the side (See photo of me putting my hand near) - Fuel consumption: Used about 250g of MSR Butane in 3 days with 3 people. Including morning oatmeal and cooking with a 10 in cast iron pan. - Supports liquid feed mode for butane canister for colder temperature. The bad: - This is nitpicking here. I wish the bag is water proof so I can put the stove in a damp kettle. Also a igniter would be nice but carry a lighter is not difficult at all, plus there is no igniter to fail.
Great stove. Boils 2L in 3-4 minutes and a single fuel canister lasted me over 8 days using it twice a day. Light enough for the price and seems pretty tough. Get it!
Very well designed. Excellent for big pots or kettles.
