Sick Stove
By Benjamin Botelho
Ranked #17 - Liquid Fuel Stoves
November 2, 2011
I've had this stove for about 4 years, and over the past 2-3 years have put it through a lot, and it has only disappointed me once (but it was my fault-didn't know how to warm it up sufficiently.)
After getting the slightly finicky start-up process down, this thing is an absolute beast. It boils water in a heartbeat (and with a might roar), but can also play gentle with some of the more delicate and exquisite meals you may prepare in a base-camp like setting. It has worked excellently backpacking in all 4 seasons-manageable enough to use in the vestibule, but burly enough to melt snow efficiently. It is also great for a workhorse stove in a base-camp like setting. Used it on a climbing trip to Poke-o moonshine recently, and it worked great to prepare some tasty mac-and-cheese, and the San Fran treat: rice-a-roni.
BONUS: It fits in many pots, such as the medium MSR Alpine pot.
great stove, would definitely recommend it to anyone who would like a versatile, all year stove that you don't have to worry about.
