" ... not quite as good as they used to be , but still a great value and a potential lifetime usable product , put the arm in and attached a propane bottle and bamm it lit up and it adjusted perfectly . ... "
" ... I just made a 2" strip of aluminum foil by folding it to 4 layers thick to the size I wanted and used that to make a ring around each burner to block the flames from wind. ... "
" ... This newer production run is definitely more flimsy and built with less materials. ... I can see how this dents very easy as I can push the metal in with my finger. ... "

" ... Will boil water pretty fast too. ... "
" ... Puts out a lot heat too for such a compact burner. ... "
" ... Makes fire for cooking food. ... We had hot meals 2-3 times a day for 4 people. ... Once you put a pot on top, will keep your flame burning and the heat focused on the bottom of your pan. ... "
" ... The burner flame was pretty much invisible but the heat adjusts easily. ... "
" ... The flame and heat is very strong, have a good quality pot/pan so you don't scorch your food or the bottom of your pan. ... "
" ... The stove is pretty efficient with the fuel, but it would be wasting gas to keep coffee hot so sterno for that job. ... "
" ... The burners worked great for simmering and cooking eggs on low heat. ... "
" ... Use it for the 1st time camping only one burner lit and the heat coming off the single burner never got hot enough to even make coffee ... "
