Boil and get on with life.

Ranked #322 - Liquid Fuel Stoves

If you have a thing for spending your backcountry evenings hovering over your stove simmering up something delicious and exotic, you probably shouldn't buy this stove. If you would rather boil the hell out of your freeze dried pasta so you can go climb a mountain while the sun sets, buy this stove and get it done.

I carry the cut-off top of a 1lb coffee can & use it as a diffuser plate. Easy to control a simmer & adds only 1.26 oz!
