Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System
Fantastic. Temperamental starter.

I have had this stove for more than 2 years and I LOVE IT for its compactness, lightweight-ness, fast boil, and ease of use. If one likes to cook gourmet meals, the personal cooking system cup is NOT the way to go - get the cooking pot. I only need boiling water in the backcountry so this system is perfect for me. The only downside thus far is that the flame starter can easily get off kilter and quit working. This sucks because it's not the easiest thing in the world because I don't like putting the cup on after the flame is lit - which means the flame needs to be lit while the cup is attached. Because of this, it usually requires two people to light the dang thing when the starter is not working. Sigh. I need to contact MSR about this; it's the 2nd time the starter has gone out on me. But I still want another one!
