This is a reliable stove that will burn more like an afterburner or casting furnace. It is a well made stove. My only two complaints are minor.

This stove is not exactly quiet. It's hard to converse when it's cooking for you; however, that being said it does cook fast. The other problem is the o-ring that seals the fit for the brass to bottle insert wears fairly quickly, so make sure you have a few in your repair kit--one should always have an equipment repair kit. It will last a little longer if you spit on the brass or lubricate it will petroleum jelly.

But as stated earlier, this is a reliable, get started anywhere, cook what ever you want it to stove. I can tolerate noise for hot food. The o-ring issue is no big deal unless you run out of them in the field.
