Ranked #265 - Liquid Fuel Stoves
April 10, 2010
I bought one of these a couple of years ago and love it. I have used it backpacking in the summer and winter in Alaska and it performed beautifully. A friend of mine gave me his that he bought close to 20 years ago and it fired right up. Very reliable stove. The ONLY thing that would make this perfect is a simmer control, but that can almost be remedied by the pump. All in all, a must have.
