Currently, I use either a normal campfire, a canister fuel stove, or an alcohol fuel stove. I've been thinking of getting a wood gas one for a while now and picked up this cheap one. It's a bit large to pack over my other options but it would certainly mean that I don't run out of fuel.

Looks like a great design. Funny that the extended warranty is $6 for a $15 stove.

Let us know how it works. Hard to go wrong at that price.

:) I don't know, Tomster - all those complex electronics and fragile moving parts . . . it might be worth it!

Will do.

I've fallen out of the habit, but I used to keep a pouch handy to put in twigs, etc. as I'm hiking. That made life a bit easier when I got to camp and didn't have to worry about scrounging it up. I'll put this practice back into place for this stove.

Have you at least fired it up in the back yard yet? I'm really curious about these for canoe tripping.

92 % gave it a 4 or 5 star with no 1's that is pretty good. I picked up a mkettle from the titaniumgoat for 60.00 on sale. I fired it up in the backyard two times and it is nice. It is still a little heavy, but not bad(just over 1 lb. When I look down inside I can see some spots. These may have been on the shelf for awhile. I gave it a good boil. There is also the backcountryboiler. It holds more and is lighter.
