I OffRoad in my Jeep quite often and I wanted to test out a few of the portable stoves out there.This is one that I found a lot of enthusiasm around and decided this item would make my cut.Pros:-Little Weight- Relatively inexpensive at around $20- Burns almost anything you put in it- Stainless Steel- Assembly in less than 10 seconds- Pieces fit together easilyCons:- A bit flimsy (Base and Pot Stand)- Constant feeding of combustable material- Takes a bit of time to cool down after firing, so you can't use it and move on quicklySo I had a chance to test this out recently and compared to other portable stoves that could run you $100 plus.With some caveats, this little stove really performed. The stove come in a net storage bag to secure the pieces for travel. The stove comes in six pieces and can be fitted for wood type fuel or alcohol. Each requiring a different setup. Wood fire setup takes 5 - 10 seconds. The alcohol setup takes about 15 - 20 seconds as more pieces are required. You also have to option of cooking on a grill top or pot stand.(Instructions come with the unit on setup for either wood or alcohol)Pieces the unit comes with- Base- Double Wall Burning Chamber- Burning base- Pot Stand- Grill- Alcohol TrayAll pieces seems to be pretty solid with the exception of the base and pot stand.The base is not made of as thick of metal as the rest and the pot stand legs are in my opinion just askingto be broken. But time will tell and I can understand wanting to keep the weigh of this down for hiking, etc.Wood Setup requires - Base, Burning Chamber, Burning Base, Stand or GrillAlcohol Setup requires - Base, Burning Chamber, Burning Base, Alcohol Tray, StandMy first test was Wood Fuel. (Note: this this will burn other solid fuels like Charcoal, Wood Pellets, etc as well.)Alternate fuel may not be a bad option or you will have to keep feeding this stove constantly with little twigs to keep the fire. Its not that bad but it is require attention. I opted to start the fire with twigs and then once I had a good fire going add wood pellets to help feed it. This little stove gets HOT. Once you have a good fire going you can boil water in minutes. However, one draw back is that of course, you are unable to really control the temperature. So this stove is best used for hot drinks and/or quick meals. Extended cooking sessions are not its primary use. For what it is .. it does a great job.Next test was the Alcohol Tray. You can use either Esbit Fuel Tabs or Denartured Alcohol. While these fuel types will last a while longer than the wood feed fire. It is not nearly as hot of a fire.I tested this with my Stowaway Pot (1.6L) I fits in nicely for stowage. It also allows for the storage of additional items like fuel cells or wood pellets, matches, etc.All in all, this little inexpensive stove is quite worth its meager price. An excellently built rocket style fire unit that is light weight that any enthusiast should have in their pack.

I bought this little stove and just recently used it on a camping trip, where it easily made a HUGE dinner and a hot breakfast for two people.At night, we made 2 liters of fish stew. The 2.4 liter pot felt very stable on top of the stove; I never worried about it tipping over. It easily brought ~1 liter of water to a boil, and one load of wood cooked everything thoroughly. We added another load of wood to simmer the stew for a while.In the morning, we made sausage, bacon and eggs. The stove brought our pan up to temperature VERY quickly; it was quite easy to get the bacon done. Because the stove gets so hot, we needed to move the pan on and off of the stove to keep the eggs from burning, but it was easy to manage.Overall, it's a great little stove. I have a few tips for using it:- Pack it only half full of twigs/sticks, and then add a bunch of tinder. Light the tinder, then pile more sticks into it. That makes it pretty easy to light.- If you need to light it very quickly, you can use cotton balls soaked in vaseline (fluff them before lighting), or a squirt of alcohol-based hand sanitizer to help the flame catch.- Pack it very full of sticks and twigs. That way, you'll get nice coals which put off excellent, long-lasting heat to cook over- Keep an extra load of twigs/sticks nearby, just in case. If you're making a stew or a large meal, there's a chance your fuel will burn off before you finish cooking. If you have too many twigs/sticks, you can always use the rest later.The only thing I worry about is the pot stand; after using, it feels that the movable "feet" that hold the pot/pan over the stove are a little loose. This shouldn't be a problem, but it's something to watch out for.Overall, I'm very happy with this. I'll definitely take it on more camping trips, and I might even use it for bikepacking. I can't wait to show it off next time I have a group camping trip!
