Pretty Good So Far..

I have been using the GCS for about a year and a half now. I would recommend this for anyone. It has worked well at altitude and in the winter. A single canister lasted through a 5 day winter trip cooking 3x's a day for two. We made everything from stew to pasta to boiled eggs & pancakes. It was excellent for a quick cup of tea in the afternoon, very fast!
I do agree that the cover is a HUGE hassle to put back on after awhile. Even when I do get it on, every now and again it will come off in my pack making it a huge pain! It does need a pour spout, but at least the dribbles are easy to clean. I was a little leery of proprietary fuel cans, but so far I haven't had trouble finding replacements. Last note, the auto starter never worked after the first week but that is not really that big of a deal.
