There are only two faults with this product, one is the weight but then it is extremely well built and rugged, and compared to lighter multifuel stoves I've had in the past the weight difference isn't that much and is a small price to pay for such good construction. The only other fault is that it doesn't really simmer, there is a degree of fuel control but it isn't easy to get the flame just right and if set too low the flame will go out.

Otherwise it has been perfect, I especially like the fact it is very stable, the metal pump construction feels better, the ease of bleeding the line by flipping the bottle over is fantastic, the ability to also connect to self sealing gas cartridges is great, the length of the line allows movement and pumping of the bottle without disturbing the cooker, requires minimal maintenance.

Make a titanium version and sort out the simmer control and you would have the perfect camping stove!!
