At sea level (at home) I can boil a litre of water in under 6 minutes which is on par with the Jetboil. but obviously significantly lighter weight."

It's light, stable, efficient, hot, and lights easily every time. My only quibble would be that the adjustment at very low output is kinda difficult, but certainly no worse than any other backpacking stove."

This weekend we opted to take the stove snow camping, even though a white gas stove is usually recommended."

This stove puts out a very nice flame and, with the bigger stand, I can cook with a larger bowl, meaning more surface area to heat quicker."

This little stove powers up on the first light. It can't get better than that!!! I've cooked for four people and only used half a canister of fuel."

PROS: Great control, easy lighting (get the piezo igniter -- why bother with matches?), reliable, very compact, comes with a plastic case, light, stable/grippy cooking surface (fold-out wires have a serated surface to help dig into pot bottoms)."
