 Excellent portable stove. Aug 21, 2009
By J. Liu
Works just like a stove at home and can reach a high heat quickly. Boil water for coffee, fry eggs and bacon etc. etc. The butane canisters last quite long as well. On a 3 day camping trip we used just under 2 cans to cook food for 8 people each day. Not bad considering the fuel can be bought for $1.50 a can.
Also, finding these fuel cans can be tricky in stores. The local REI's, Big-5's and Sportsmarts didn't have them (southern california). The best place to find them is in Asian/Indian markets like 99 Ranch. Asians like to use these at home for hot-pot meals and the fuel cans are available there.

as good as the expensive ones in the gormet shops Feb 10, 2010
By Paul H. Wyand

I bought this because I am living in an apartment and will only be there for 2 months. I have to pay to get propane delivered, and they want $180 to set it up. I figured that is not worth it for a few months. The product is great and is actually heavier duty than some I have seen in restaurant supply houses. The pan is actually nice for a freebie, but I do not use non stick cookware, so I will likely give it away. I did use it once just to see how cooked. The only problem I have with it is that it was advertised as quote:
"*** Usage a)The stove is safe and easy to use and goes anywhere. b)Great for work cooking,boating,camping,tailgating,backyard/patio or right on your dining room table.
On the side of the burner it states it is for outside use only. I don't know many dining room tables that are outside, but I figure it will not be too dangerous, as I would have 4 burners going on a stove. The surface underneath it does not get hot at all, not even after cooking a stew for an hour on it. It works well, I just wish the butane cans were easier to get and lasted longer. I found only one local place that carries it and they have normal business hours.
It gets quite hot, so even though I am used to chimerical burners (used to be a chef)I find it gets things hot quickly enough. I would recommend it, with the only caveat the fact that they advertise it for indoor and it says for outdoor on the device.

Best Camping Stove Ever! Jul 21, 2010
By Alicia Keenon
"Rabid Reader"
This little stove is amazing. I bought it last year for a trip to the Grand Canyon. It is easy to use and burns very hot. Boiling water? Presto! I cooked quite a few things on it - all with great success.
When we made crepes at my cooking group, I brought the little stove and it was a great addition to the big stove where the main course was being prepared.
Be advised - the fuel is not obtainable at "normal" stores. I thought I would be able to get it, but no. I ended up ordering a case of fuel from the seller. Fortunately it arrived in time for my trip. I will have fuel until all eternity, since it's a lot - 13 bottles, if I remember correctly. In a year I've used 2.
That is however the only drawback. Just relent and order the fuel along with the stove. The stove is awesome.

Fantastic stove! Sep 08, 2009
By Susan Biasco
For the money, I don't think there's a better deal on any product sold by Amazon. I use the fry pan at home now, it's the best little fry pan I have. The only issue with the stove is that there is no back or sides to block wind, but I knew that when I bought it. I used the case to set up a little bit of a shield. I bought 2 and was able to whip up any meal at any time on our week long camp trip.

Really Does the Job! Nov 16, 2009
By Stephen Matthews
This was the second one of this type of unit I have tried. First one was junk, threw it away. This one is perfect! Everything works as described. I'm now separated from my electricity-sucking electric range. And cooking is far easier with the instant on/off/up/down of a burning fuel.
Interestingly the 'Marble Fry Pan' that comes packaged is pretty decent as well. I expected a 'value added piece of ..' type of affair but this is a decent frying pan, well suited to the burner it accompanies.
Have not found local source for butane canisters yet, but Amazon pricing not too bad. The canisters last me literally for hours when using low flame but empty relatively fast on high flame.
