"The Brunton Flex Stove is a lightweight canister stove for backpackers. The Flex Stove has sturdy pot supports that fold compactly for easy storage and an oversize burner that distributes heat evenly. Brunton gave this stove precise simmer control so your beans and rice won't burn. The Flex doesn't need to be primed to get it cooking, and it will boil water in about three minutes. At a mere 3.4 ounces, the Flex is a must-have for backpackers."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The coolest stove on the planet is one heck of a cooker. Brunton answered the canister stove users' needs with the ideal compact, lightweight Flex Butane Stove. With the award-winning simmering ability of old, the new Flex adds sturdy pot supports to the mix for the ultimate set-up. Built for the true-backpacker, you don't need awkward accessory parts like unsturdy cups and pots to make it purr. At a mere 3.4 ounces, you get 12,000 BTUs of bliss for the best cooker, fryer and warmer out there."

"This is a great stove. In boiling competitions with a Jetboil, it has boiled water in about the same time. And the Flex has a wide flame and simmer function to be successful in cooking for a larger group where the Jetboil would fail. It is very small, very light, and has not shown any signs of wear. Definitely a good purchase."

"The Flex is small, light, simple and efficient. I just got rid of my higher priced Optimus Nova multi-fuel, as a result of poor performance. The Flex is my new primary backpacking stove and serves my purpose even at higher altitudes. Hasn't failed me yet as the multifuels have as they are too "fussy"."
