Utterly unmotivated to bother with any other stove
2 weeks ago
I bought mine in the early 2000's, I've used it many hundreds of times since including last weekend. I don't expect to ever buy another camp stove, but if I had to, I'd buy an identical one, even at today's price. I've used this during power outages, car camping, backpacking. Watch some usage videos before buying to cut down on the learning curve. Use only white gas if possible, the other fuels might be cheaper but they're a dirtier burn.

Horrible performance.
10 months ago
I was so excited for this stove and after all of the reviews I had high hopes. The equipment is made out of good materials and the shipping was great, but the performance was where the issue is. This stove does not boil water well at all. I have MSR pots, and this stove could only bring the water to a simmer. Bubbles barely no matter how long I let it go for. It can cook eggs i am sure and arrives in the best condition but if you want to have a rolling boil you can forget it. I was hoping this stove could do it all. If you are looking to cook meals this will do but I wish I did not have to buy a second stove just for boiling water.

l love my Dragonfly

I have bought my Dragonfly over 20 years ago when I lived in a colder climate. It’s always worked great. I haven’t been using it much recently since I now live in Texas but, I’m going to do a full maintenance on it and start using it again. yes it can be a bit loud but cooking on it is great with my MSR cookware.

Great heat control, but loud
9 months ago
I've used a Dragonfly on more BWCA canoe trips than I can count. Fantastic heat control for the backcountry gourmet, I've made hollandaise sauce from scratch over this thing. The only drawback that I've found is that it's loud. Aftermarket silencers are available that do help a ton, although it's tougher to get a good steady simmer level when using one.
