Not really a question, but I'd rather not slant the star rating with a review, having never owned this stove. There is a recall on JetBoil stoves, such as this one. See: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09126.htmlHaving said that, I have a piezo-lit Primus canister stove that I bought for $20, and barring the unpleasantness of using the (awfully) disposable canisters, I couldn't be happier. Not only did I save ~60$ compared to a *Boil, but the thing'll boil a liter of water in 3 min (and that's including set-up), and my pot + windscreen + stove weighs < 8 oz.

Thanks for pointing that out, man.There are three types of couplings that have been used on the PCS, only one of those is effected by the recall.
