Don't get me wrong, this stove is a beast. It (unlike many camp stoves) has the full range of power, from lightly simmer to torch-your-face-off-from-five-feet mode, but it does NOT do well in wind. I'm sorry. It just doesn't. It won't go out, but it loses all its heat and doesn't cook anything. We ended up having to point the car into the wind and cook in the trunk. It does have its positive points for sure, though. It folds handily, as the picture above doesn't show. It has huge burners that crank out the heat and will take giant heavy frying pans without dumping bacon grease into your lap, and it uses surprisingly little fuel given how powerful it is. We used three or four canisters cooking for 3 people for 18 days. And virtually no heat comes out the bottom of the stove, so when you do have to cook in the trunk because of the wind, it won't set your carpet on fire. You could actually hold it in your hands at full blast, but you probably shouldn't. On a side note, you can fold one side up and use that to block the wind, but then you only have one burner. Also the built-in sparker thingy broke after about a week, but that might have been my fault.
