Have used this set on multiple trips so far and it works really well! I would suggest getting some kind of support for the tank though, as it gets very tipsy. Also, make sure to pick up the correct size gas tank. The first tank I picked up was a normal, green Coleman tank and THEY DO NOT FIT. I had to go back and get another tank that was the right size. Here's a tank that fits the burner: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Butane-Propane-Fuel-7-75/dp/B000PY9T0S

Black bisgear 16 piece.
Okay, so I've had this thing for roughly 6 hours, beat the snot out of it (literally slipped and fell off the trail,) by crashing roughly 60 feet end over end through harsh brush and woods.Came to a stop, scrabble bacteria to the trail 100% certain this thing was destroyed, and all I wanted was a cup of tea to calm down. Opened my pack, pulled it out, opened it up, and presto! Not a single dent. Fired right up. My cup was more messed up than this set!Love the ease of set up, a real no brainer. Extra fork and spoon (to me) are pointless unless cooking for 2.Definitely will be picking up this little guy for my family so they can have one too come the 4th of July's camping trip.Only minor, minor drawback, or something simply to be mindful of, is the handles on the fry pan. One was loose, so a small nudge from a ball peen hammer with a piece of wood in between, and it was snuggled right back up.Folks, if you are into light packing, if you are looking for a first time stove, This is it.It doesn't break the bank, it is my kind of accident approved, and to top it off, it was here in 2 days. That's quick as all get out!

Soup's on in no time!!!
I've used this kit on two extended snowshoe trips, and one long day hike, and absolutely love it. Especially after having used a sterno stove for year's. Since I don't necessarily play well with other's, :-) it's ideal for one person. At first, the "Piezo" starter wouldn't work. After I got home, in a more controlled environment, I worked with it for a bit, and it began to work, and has worked flawlessly since. That was on me. I should have set the stove up and made sure everything worked before heading out. Without knowing for sure, I would bet there was some form of factory residue that had to be worn off. The stove is well made, and the fuel control work's as it should. I compared the stove to a more expensive one my daughter use's, and the difference was too minimal to mention. The little orange tripod is a huge plus. I pack the small fuel container's, and under the weight of a full pot or pan, they can be unstable if not supported. The pot is perfect for a "brick" of Ramen. Easy to clean, and the handle's provide a safe and easy way to handle them. I have been cautioned not to clean the pan's in a dishwasher. I can't speak to that one way or the other, but I will take their advice. A worthy investment and, it arrived a day earlier than predicted! Happy Camping!!!!

I loved this set
I loved this set. Such a good deal!! I packed it with me on a 5 day backpacking trip. However I only packed the pot, pan, stove, folding spork, ladle, and loofa. The two bowls it comes with are ridiculously small and unusable. The folding spork kept falling apart and the loofa served itself pretty useless. However, for the price all of that "extra" stuff didn't matter considering just buying a stove alone is usually more expensive than this set. Definitely still a good bang for your buck. The ignitor switch on the stove is also pretty picky, working about 7/10 times so definitely pack a lighter or matches when using this stove (I knew this before I purchased as I had read it in other reviews, wasn't a big deal to me). I suggest also looking for a windscreen as I am as well, I think it would serve useful (I used my above treeline - around 12,000ft - so it was relatively windy) but it still worked really well and heated my water pretty quickly

NOT DISHWASHER SAFE - excellent value set for entry level backpacking
I realize that this set is intended to be used in the wilderness.I did a test meal in the pots at home and naturally put it into the dishwasher. There is no warning on the packaging or in the description. Now I have a brand new set that is ruined. So disappointed.Other than this one flaw, I love the set. The stove works great, the canister stand fit perfectly, spork seems stable. Plastic accessories are worthless. But, there are so many other great accessories in this kit that it doesn't matter that much. And the fuel canister fits inside with most of the accessories I kept.UPDATE: 7/20/2018The company has since issued me a refund and sent me a new set. In addition, they have updated the description to indicate that it is not dish washer safe. I have updated the review to 5 stars, because my primary problems were addressed.I would definitely buy this set again. And will probably purchase more of these sets as our camping crew grows. #campingwithkids

Compact and easy-to-use.
This is a very quality set for the price...don't let the low price fool you. I took this on a hike over the weekend, and we were cooking up Spam in a flash. Screws right onto a JetFuel without a problem. Set up and take down is quite fast. Our set included a natural fiber sponge, something like that of a squash. I'd highly recommend swapping it out for a flat, nylon non-scratch pad which will both save space and clean up better.The butane burner as a flame starter on it, but I would carry a secondary flame source. The flame starter will take several tries before it fires the first time to break it in.It really doesn't take much of a flame to get this thing going, turn it low at first. If you're too hot, it will burn the center of your pan. However, the quality is such that the burn will not be visible on the bottom. Our slight burn rubbed out with some detergent when we got home.If you're really considering getting this...I hope this post will help push your decision over the fence. You won't regret this purchase!

Great stuff
Quality appears very good. Even smaller and lighter than I expected.
