If you want a durable, high performance, quality stove, do not buy this - you won't be happy.If you don't mind the absolute bargain basement cheap piece of j*nk that still functions, you should be ok with it.Be prepared to straighten bent parts when it arrives.Use it only on a stable secure surface, as all the fuel will spill quickly if knocked over - the tank is open and the burner assembly sits on top, unsecured.The lighting wand kinda doubles as a filler cap, kinda.The stove can handel a skillet but feels like it would collapse under a large pot.Not good for camping - as the fuel will slosh all over your car on the trip out. It's not sealed.This product might be good for power outages. Or a back yard barbecue if it can be secured from children or your dog knocking it over.At $24 you get what you pay for. Basically the cheapest functioning kerosene stove around, give or take.For what it is and what it costs, it's an optimization of cheapness.

This thing will smell soooo bad when you turn it off and has a strong smell when burning….all around this is just a dangerous thing….you can’t bump it or the floor will set fire!

I grew up using these gas stove. I grew up in the islands and never had any issues, you just have to know how to use them. I'm only rating it a 4 out of 5 because of the size, this one is smaller than the ones I'm used to.

In a nut shell...its a GREAT idea and design concept.BUT... it was made as cheaply as possible. No cap for the fill port.Not sealed around the fuel tank. So once you had fuel... if you tip it slightly.... fuel will run out between the tank and the housing. Its essentially a bowl unsealed and spot welded to the bottom of the feeder and flume.Now for the good part. Put in the center, keep the wicks low..... light it. The flame burns hot and blue if you have the wick proper.... put the rest of the housing on... most likely other wicks will catch without having to individually light them. With all the round housings on.... it does very well. Easy to cook on, good base heat. However keep in mind this IS kerosene.... so it does smell when it burns and you wouldn't want this in a tightly enclosed area.

The media could not be loaded. So before I bought this I read some of the reviews and one of the main complaints was that it doesn't seal up and that it can spill fuel easy and if you knock it over it's going to start a fire well it actually does screw together there's little tabs that are indented into the metal so when you put it together you twist it on it's not a screw on it's a twist on so it's not just sitting on top of one another in pieces it actually does fit together and as far as it's starting a fire if you knock over any kerosene heater they're going to start a fire they're all dangerous this one is just a mini kerosene heater so it's easier to knock over but they're all going to start a fire if it gets knocked over has nothing to do with this heater in particular and I put it in my garage to try it out and this thing has the whole garage nice and toasty I mean this thing is way better than I expected once you get it hot you just put it all the way on low and then make little adjustments and it gets hot...

I really like my stove. I used kerosene to make a pot of coffee using 32 Oz. Of water. On my electric stove takes 18 minutes to percolate the pot. My kerosene stove took 12 minutes to complete. It barely used any fuel. A true winner of a purchase.

Expectations have met

Top of the tank is not sealed at all so it's basically an open bowlAnd fill cap doesn't sealHave to modify it to adjust the temperatureBut for the price it is what it is
