Perfect, size, durability, cost works great

Okay - so I used this as a sacrificial unit to retrofit new cans onto and old CampingGaz stove.That worked great.But before doing that retrofit, I tested this stove intact.It lit easily and quickly with the pezio; it burned strongly and solidly, and it was adjustable down to a light simmer.The windscreen, pot platform was fine, segmenting the burner so that the wind would only blow out a portion of flame at a time.And the pot holder has slightly serrated edge to presumably grip the pot.I'd have been happy to use this just as it was.For that I would recommend.As I loved some of the features of my CampingGaz stove (smaller burner, built-in round windscreen and a more stable platform to hold the pot) I did the retrofit.The new canisters (every manufacturers is using these) screw very easily into the new-style receivers. They unscrew easily and seal up tight to help break things down if needed for carrying.Coleman bought CampingGaz and I think may be phasing much of those older designs. I noticed the guts of this was nearly identical to my rather old stove with a couple differences. The burner is larger. The manifold to burner connection (which used to be screwed together) is now clipped in with a retainer. Not sure why, but perhaps this lets them use the part for more products.Anyway, if you can get this cheap it is worth it to have.Probably could serve as your primary camping or patio burner.Could be a back up or bug out option.Would perform fine for post-apocalyptic needs, I'd imagine.

Love it , easy , very slim , good standard

This is the simplest, most reliable and easy to manage stove I've ever owned. It's not the lightest. There's no built-in ignition. There's really nothing to go wrong. The adjustment knob is extremely good. On cheaper stoves, the flame can go from "butane lighter" to "inferno of death" with just a fraction of a turn. The adjustment on this stove is very smooth consistent. I've made coffee countless times with this model. I've made hot chocolate for the kids. I've prepared freeze dried food. I'm totally sold on it and I don't really care if there are lighter stoves available.So, why is this my third? I gave one to my son for hurricane season. I have one in my backpack ready to go to the woods. And I bought the last one as a backup because I'm deathly afraid that it may be discontinued at some point. It'll stay in the box until it's needed.

Perfect use for backpacking!

Suitable for camping out.

Works really well
