I got one of these on ebay. A GREAT stove. It does not come with wind protection, but then most of the time that can be found on the trail. This stove is a miser on fuel and burns hot. The feature that makes this one better than some of the others is that the flame shoots straight up making it more efficient for smaller pots. If you use the freezer bag method of cooking dehydrated food then you can get 15 meals out of one of the small fuel canisters. That makes this stove and fuel lighter than just the fuel needed to cook that many meals on an alcohol stove.
