 No more running out of fuel Jun 12, 2010
Good product at an affordable price. Pros: Easy to use. Can cook with sticks just lying around on the ground. Do not have to worry any more about how much fuel is left in a canister. Cons: The quality of the material used could be better. Overall a great product for just $12.

 Too tippy for safe use. Apr 26, 2010
I bought this cooker for camping and also a back-up for boiling water in the fireplace if we had a power outage.
The foldable design is nifty, but the arrangement for putting a pot of water on top is not stable. I tried the cooker with several different pots I might use camping, and was not satisfied. I would have had to hold the pot with one hand while the water heated, leaving only one other hand to manage adding fuel, and anything else that might come up.
If I were planning to camp out of my backpack then I think I would be willing to use this little stove - but with little kids, I camp out of a car these days and I will be bringing a larger, more stable set-up.
I have returned the stove.

 Great stove. Small, Efficient, and Fast. Mar 24, 2010
I bought this stove as a preparedness measure because I wanted to be able to cook with natural fuel in the event of an extended loss of power. It really does the job well. The angular design funnels all the heat right up to the top, so it is very efficient with fuel. I cooked a medium size can of chili in about 5 minutes, burning only about 10 or 12 small pine cones in the process, so it does exactly what I wanted, very efficiently. If you have a pine tree in your yard you will never run out of cooking fuel.
The stove is very small, and it looked to me like it would be very unstable with even a small pot on top of it, so I put the stove under a camp grill and I put the pot on that (I'll upload some pictures). It works great that way. I'm going to get a second one to sit beside it, turning the grill into a two burner wood stove.
In my opinion, this stove would be very good for backpacking, too, because of its compact size. Folds up very small, and is not too hard to set up or to fold up.

Great Design, Quality not so much Jan 31, 2010
Let me start by saying the design and concept of this is amazing! It folds nicely and does exactly what it is supposed to. I tried it out the first day I received it with some wood chips for fuel and a canteen cup to boil water in and it worked very well for that and boiled nicely within a few minutes after the fire was hot. Now the bad part.... after this first use I noticed discoloration on all sides near the bottom. But being at night and it still being very hot I thought I would get a better look at it in the morning. Unfortunately I left it outside and it rained that night (which is semi rare in Vegas) and the next morning. I got busy and forgot to bring it inside which is completely MY fault. The next day I went out to get it and found it covered in rust (after maybe 30 hours outside!) on all the discolored parts and hinges. It turns out the discoloration I had seen was the paint bubbling and peeling off after the very first use! Now I do not blame the product for the rust because it obviously should not have been left outside in the rain but, I don't understand why a high temperature (and rustproof) paint wouldn't be used on this from the factory. It seems such a common sense thing and is the only reason it did not get five stars.
