It's tough. It's light. It's brainless. It's infallible. It can use three different types of solid fuel. (Trioxane, Hexamine, Sterno Fuel.) Solid fuel = No leaks. No dangerous flamable liquids/fumes. You can use one of the fuel pucks to light a fire in wet conditons. (Each puck burns 9 minutes.) If you run out of fuel, you can use pine cones and twigs. If you're only going to be boiling water on it then it is perfect. 1 puck = 1 cup of boiling water in about 7 minutes. It's not quick , but it's only 5 bucks, comes with 24 fuel pucks. And the fuel refills are only 2 bucks for 24 pucks. What other stove, inluding it's fuel can you fit in almost any jacket pocket? And only costs 5 bucks?
