Easy to use is a gross understatement.

I had to break out my SVEA 123 last trip just to get a feeling for a stove that would take more than 1 second to light.

Miserly on the juice too, one canister (MSR 8 oz/227g) for a week at 6000-8000 feet. This constitutes water heating duties only.

Very quality, and super small.

With the provided red plastic container, a baby BiC lighter fits inside and will permit the lid to still be snapped on. I really like this little stove!

Downside is that it is a canister stove, but that is just the way it goes for this type of performance.

UPDATE:

Still love this little guy! Maybe kind of tippy 'cause it sits high, but it boils water quick. I have taken this stove to 12,000 feet and it still works just fine.
