Product Reviews

Light and hot
Brings water to a boil in minutes and packs easily into a small plastic container. (included) Wish the holders had grooves to keep the pot from sliding but otherwise a good buy. If you’re not too concerned about the .4 ounces save 40 dollars and buy the non-titanium version but both are still great.

Awsome
This stove is so cool. I bought the non-titanium model, but I don’t feel the need to count ounces sooo that little extra does not bother me. The auto-start on this thing is the coolest, you never need matches, just click the lil auto start thing and off she goes. Like the person above, I also bought my stove, tank of gas, and pots, for all under the price of just a reg white gas stove. This thing simmers so much better then the white gas stoves that I have used in the past. The stove is also very small, about the size of one of those tall shot glasses. This is the best stove that I have ever used.

Great Stove
This is a great stove. I bought the stove, the pot, and the spork in one package, and it was as inexpensive as some of the other stoves alone. It ways hardly anything, and it will boil your water in a little over 1 minute. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Incredibly Small, Clever, and Effective!
First stove I’ve ever owned that has zero learning curve for operation: I didn’t even read the instructions! Pulled it out at the campsite at 10,000 feet, and it worked just like a Maytag! Seriously, you just turn it on like your stove at home. I didn’t do any careful testing, but it heated water as fast as anybody else’s stove. Didn’t try the simmer - don’t need it. Relatively quiet. Wish it had little stabilizer feet for the fuel canister like Jetboil. Also, a bit tricky to fold up into absurdly small box. Hate size/shape of canisters - never stay put in your pack like a fuel bottle. Makes you look like a sissy compared to "real" backpacking stoves like my MSR, but I’m drinking coffee while the manly men fiddle with matches and fuel.

Best in its class but not perfect.
I’ve owned this stove for a few years now with zero problems. Fuel economy is excellent for a 3 day weekend with a buddy I would bring one of the smaller 110ml cans at moderate altitude(5-10k) and have plenty at the end of the trip. Does not offer good wind performance. Even though it isn’t recommended by those wishing to limit liability I use a tin foil wind screen. Just make sure radiated heat isn’t cooking your fuel can. ceramic igniter insulation is delicate so keep it in its hard case provided. Might be worth it to locktite any hardware to avoid loosing the tiny screws. So far its the best ultralight canister stove I’ve found.
