Good portable and powerful. Jul 16, 2007
By MIKE, TX
"MIKE"
Used this on last camping trip, and worked out just fine. Only drawback is not as effective for cooking meals for larger group of people. 4 to 6 people works great. Larger group will need something more powerful ( probably the portable stove which goes with the big propane fuel tank). This is definitely quite powerful for it size. It just take more time to cook meals for larger group. Might also want to order butane refills online since hard to find in stores. One refill canister would probably last about 50 to 60 minutes on high setting.

 Royal Piece of Junk Jan 09, 2010
By C. Evans
Do yourself a favor and buy a different stove. This arrived brand new and undamaged but the mechanism that is supposed to lock the fuel can in place absolutely will not work. What's worse, it is evident from the lever mechanism that the problem is with the design itself, not faulty assembly or damaged parts. The mechanism uses a sort of cam mechanism to compress the fuel can against the pin that goes into the top of the can. But the pivot point of the cam and the slot that locks the cam into place are made such that as the cam turns it jams. There is no way to fix this without disassembling the mechanism and re-machining the part. In my view this stove is defective from the get-go. It's not even worth sending the thing back. I'll just give it to Good Will and buy a better one.

Efficient as backup, wish I'd known this first Apr 27, 2010
By John D. Grasso
I bought this stove as an emergency back-up, have used propane stove previously. I wish I'd known that butane does not burn clean. It is efficient -but my pans were blackened on the bottom from only minutes of use. I would only use older pots or pans that I might take camping as I wouldn't use my best ones on this stove. Aside from this problem the stove works well and will do the job necessary whether it be to cook a quick meal or just boil water or make coffee. I found it to be safe and easy to use as advertised.

Much Hotter than the Average Stove Aug 10, 2010
By Stephen
I got this stove for camping with heating water in mind. It gives a noticably larger/hotter flame than my other butane stove. It did heat water much quicker than my standard 6800 BTU butane stove. It also goes through butane very quickly compared to my other stove.
The case is very cheap like all of the others I have seen. It is one step up from a dust bag. If you think you are going to toss it around or load gear on top of it it will soon be broken.
I didn't give the stove 5 stars because the fit of the burner plate on top of the stove was not good. It seemed loose. It's not unusable, it's just not a good quality fit.
 It functions, Barely Oct 20, 2011

"Relative Ethics is like trying to build a bridge when everyone uses his own foot as ruler."
I suppose I was spoiled by buying a commercial Japanese made version of this stove previously. It came and I tried it. The burner would not light from the piezoelectric ignighter. I had to light it manually and it seemed to burn lower than I expected. I returned it because it would not light correctly.
The top black portion of the stove cover and pot support are enameled steel. It stores upside-down in the cheap flimsy storage case. I do not expect the case to last long. The stove seems to be good for occasional use. The fuel canisters can be difficult to find locally. They are available on Amazon and tend to be shipped motor-freight if you order a case.
I love the extra gas burner that works much better than my electric stove top. If you want high quality then this is not it.
