How powerful is the stove on this guy? Is this primarily for making warm drinks and soups, or could you feasibly cook a stove top meal with the pot holder adapter?

I have used it to cook stove top meals before, either with the group pot or the frying pan, and it worked fine. The only time it didn't work good I later realized I was low on fuel, and the heat output was affected.

I have used to cook ramen soups and it works great, but I have the full set of pans to use for other foods. I wouldn't use for stroganoff...

It's rated at 4500 BTUs. You can boil 1/2 liter (16oz) of water in about 2 minutes, and that volume is the most you can do at one time (it is "personal"). Hot drinks and boiling water are what it does best, but you can cook in it to some degree, if you stay on it and stir constantly. Otherwise, you'll have some scorched food stuck on the bottom of the cup. The focused heat is very intense, but with the adapter and a 1.5L pot, you can cook up anything you could otherwise do with just about any other stove without any problems.
