Not what we expected

Not at all impressed with this stove. We had a hard time getting it to work at first, and it blew out after we had our pan on it. We were glad we brought our old stove as a backup.

You probably didn't warm it up right. Liquid fuel stoves are efficient, cheap to run, and highly effective, but they absolutely must be properly primed and warmed or they will do just that. If it's too complicated for you, stick to a canister stove.

It might help if you know how to use the stove before you use it... either that or you just got stuck with a lemon
