Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"At last, a simple butane stove that does everything well. The Raptor stove integrates an electric Piezo ignition onto a burner that gives you high output on a sturdy stainless steel platform. Crank out 11,000 BTU with this reliable new cooker, and boil a liter of water in just over four minutes. The Raptor folds down small and weighs a mere five ounces. Uses isobutane canisters (fuel not included). Rating: approximately 3,200 watts/11,000 BTU. Burn time: up to 1.5 hours at high output (one 8 oz. canister). Boil time: 4 minutes for 1 liter of water (varies with fuel, climate, altitude, and temperature). Super compact, lightweight design. Includes nylon carrying case. Size: 1.7" x 1.5" x 2.5" (folded). Weight: 5 oz."

From Backcountry.com:
"The compact Brunton Raptor unfolds three arms into a good-sized platform on which you'll be able to balance your big pots without fear of losing your stew. Made of sturdy stainless steel and with a piezo-electric starter, the Raptor is easy to use, reliable, and powerful. Precise control lets you simmer like a pro or go to inferno mode and boil water fast. At a dainty 5 ounces, there's no good reason not to take the Brunton Raptor along on your next backpacking trip. *Self ignites at altitudes below 8,000 feet. Bring a lighter for higher altitude trips."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Raptors fold their wings when they perch. The Brunton Raptor Stove folds its pot supports down to a tiny bundle. When the supports are back in position you have a fierce cooking tool. It soars. This item can only be shipped via UPS ground service to the lower 48 states because of the 4oz. butane canister that is pre-packaged with the Raptor Stove."

"I have had this stove for almost a year now and I can tell you for backpacking in the southeast, I would not have another. It works like a dream and folds up small. I have never had a problem with it not lighting and I would recommend it to anyone."

"Had a short backpacking trip with my son's Boy Scout Troop. We took the younger boys on their first trip and wanted a stove they could use without using liquid fuels. Jumped down to my local sporting goods store and saw this for under $40.

We hiked and camped at about 9,100' and this stove fired up faster and worked better than all of the other high priced stoves that the other leaders were carrying."

"Excellent Compact Stove

When I purchased this stove I knew I wanted a compact, compressed fuel canister stove. Honestly I was looking for the other brand's stove, when I looked at it the salesperson came over and suggested this stove and let me use the demo model in the store."

"I researched all types of backpacking stoves before buying my Brunton Raptor. Factors that were important to me were quality, weight and price. This stove met and exceeded my expectations.

I like it also because I can go from backpacking to kayak camping and it performs excellent."

"I do some travel camping on my ATV and this is the equivalent to backpacking as far as space for gear. This product looks, feels, and operates like precision. You don't have to use a wind blind, love the compact design and sturdy carry case, but best of all it puts out more than enough horsepower to get you fed and on your way! GREAT product, BRUNTON!!"

"I was debating getting either the Raptor or the MSR PocketRocket. I went to a local outfitter to check out both of the models, while at the store my wife accidentally bent the supports on PocketRocket's display model. She isn't that strong of a women so right away I became suspicious of the strength of the PocketRocket."

"We've been using a liquid fuel Apex stove for years and I wanted to reduce weight without losing efficiency. After being impressed by the reviews of the Raptor on several web sites, I took the plunge and bought one.

Just got back from a backcountry trip that hovered near 10,000 feet the whole time."
