Yes, though there are lighter MSR options if you want to go ultra light.

Check out the SimmerLite if you want liquid fuel. Otherwise I'd look at the jetboil or MSR pocket rocket.

Yes, this stove is very dependable and seems to work without using a ton of fuel. I've used mine in all four season's, wet, dry, snow and sun. Easy to clean and have very few parts to break. Lots of other options, but price and dependability put this stove high on my list...
