Sharp points when packed and slight bending

By Ranked #186 - Canister Stoves July 14, 2009

Bought this stove b/c i do more than boiling water and wanted a larger burner surface to avoid burning the noodles in the center of the pot. But, like others have experienced, the burner assembly bent about 10-15 degrees when it was boiling 8 cups of water. I haven't tried to bend it back b/c i'm almost always cooking on an uneven surface anyway and need to level it with sand or stick anyway so i just compensate. Would be annoying if cooking on a flat surface like a picnic table, etc. Also, it doesn't compact well and the pot holders only pivot on the center screw so they line up with each other, leaving two nasty points which are sharp and exposed. Since i keep the stove in my pot, i've never had puncture problems, but it sure doesn't pack into the pot well; i have to fidget with it. It has all the reliability of other canister stoves and i've cooked with it on pretty cold nights. At this price, however, there are probably other better canister stove designs.
