I need to update my stove. I was looking at this little guy & the GigaPower Lite Max the BTU output is a little different, so boil time & overall burn length is different, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with both or would vehemently recommend one over the other.

Both stoves work great but the "Lite Max" is two ounces lighter. I received an LM for Christmas & have been using it exclusively this year so far. The BTU difference is actually +1,200 for the LM. It boils water quickly & simmers down to almost nothing. If the auto ignition is not a factor, I'd go with the Lite Max (LM). BTW, I tightened the pot support extensions on the Lite Max with a pair of channel locks @ the pivot point. They get a little loose after the first couple of uses & drop below the stops.
