This is a die hard stove, and easy to set up but for the money it should be able to adjust its heat. I dont know why they bother with a valve because it has two settings. on or off. even with the valve barely cranked tothe on position its still difficult to cook and i frequently have tohold the pot above the stove so im not burning my food. even then, its not guaranteed.

Simmering is DEFINITELY an option with this stove. Prime and light the stove then turn the stove off, depressurize the fuel bottle and re-light. Wa-la... simmer. Okay, so the process is a bit involved, but it works. Love this stove for winter backcountry or paddling trips!
