Nice stove. Jul 17, 2007
By D. A. Wils I was under the assumption that the fuel that one sees at the big-box stores for camping would be butane. Not so.
After finding fuel for this stove at a local hardware store (as an aside, it was much cheaper than the stove fuel found at the big box stores, and lasts just as long), we took this stove camping. Nice, compact design and quick cooldown are definite bonuses to this item. I especially like the very easy turn-knob ignition and flame control.
The only caveat is that it does not have a wind guard. If it is windy it takes quite a while to cook food or boil water. I rigged a wind guard out of a box covered with aluminum foil and it worked wonders. I am planning on making one out of metal that is foldable so I can pack it along with the stove.
Overall, nice stove.

Sweet stove for the price Feb 23, 2008
By Renee Aubuchon
"reneesarah"
I bought this stove at a local Asian foods market for 12 bucks. The fuel was well priced there too. While a windguard, as another reviewer mentioned, would have been great for the camping folks, this stove is perfect as a back-up method to heat food up during an electrical outage if a big storm comes your way. Given the economical price, it's a good thing to have around, with a couple of butane bottles, just in case....
One of the store employees showed me how to use it. When the fuel bottle is in place correctly in the stove it is releasing butane. Since this is the case, it is highly recommended that you take the butane bottle out of the stove when you are not actively using it.

Excellent value for the money Sep 11, 2008
By T. Phillips As someone that has been an avid camper for many years, I find this stove to work very well for camping. It is lightweight, has a nice case, has a very uniform flame, and is economical to use.
It can also be used as a warmer for potluck and other buffet type applications.
It's cheap and functional .... what else do you need to say?

Great emergency stove Oct 20, 2009
By Roy Several years I bought one of these stoves for use during an emergency (we live in earthquake country). Recently we decided to do some remodeling and our kitchen was out for a month. The stove let us cook breakfast everyday and did a great job. Never failed to light and one can of fuel lasted the entire month. Found fuel at ACE Hardware. Bought two units for friends who saw ours and wanted one. Both new units fired up with no problems. Not the most rugged construction so might not be the best camp stove but is great for use in the home (or boat, cabin, etc).

great after hurricanes Sep 16, 2008
By Chen Sun
"WebAndNet.com"
Initially, I wanted to purchase a propane camper type of heating stove. But, after Hurricane Ike in 2008, didn't have much choice.
This unit worked surprisingly well. Easy to operate, and, whereas I was concerned about wind blowing out the flame (no wind guard), the butane was powerful enough to handle mild wind.
Butane canisters were also inexpensive. Cooked several meals on less than one canister!
Comes with lightweight plastic case. A bit too big and not rugged enough for a backpack camper. But perfect for a car camper or picner.
For the price, this is hard to beat.
