Great stove! I used this recently on a 3-day trip and was able to use a frying pan to make eggs with bacon and potatoes and peppers, and it simmered very well. It sounds like a jet but it functions so well, and is usually cool by the time you finish your meal and finish cleaning your dishes. Very very stable, and is about 5 times as large as the normal Snow Peak Giga Power canister stove, which my father had (also very solid stove, boiled in about 3 min).

Built in windscreen is great. I recommend this stove for people who don't mind sacrificing a little more space in their pack for being able to cook larger meals, or having a solid cooking platform. The auto igniter worked great! Fired up first click, every time!

If you're sitting on the fence about this stove, jump off and buy it. I'm very happy with this stove.
