great but be careful when priming

love this stove my father has had one for years and i bought one around a year ago and love mine just as much as his 20 year old one although now they come with a wind shield which is really nice for those colder windy nights when your trying to prime it, and that i runs off camping fuel that you can buy at walmart for supper cheap even thrills me more the only thing that is kind of an irritants is that there is no way you can start this thing up in your tent up on the mountains i know that everyone says that your not supposed to anyway but when its blowing 35mph up on top there its nice to be able to cook inside and this is why when you prime it you get a quite rather big flame about 4 inches tall where as other stoves you just light it and go

so with that said you can prime it outside make sure its ready to go turn it off bring it in and then light it again real quick and go to cooking it just takes a lot of practice getting this process down and i would recommend trying it a couple of times in the front yard getting used to controlling the priming of the stove and then moving and relighting it before going out into the woods or mountains with it
