This stove rocks! Super compact and lightweight. I weighed the stove, stove storage box, and a 80min. canister for a total of 1 lb. 1 oz. I picked it up for a pack that I just returned from.

My experience is that it cooks faster than advertised. With the igniter this stove is super fast from start to boil. I did not time it but it boiled 4 cups of water in my titanium very quickly. We were at 6000 ft in the Trinity Alps and it was warm so maybe that was a factor. It did get just a bit breezy and was blowing the flame a bit but not out. I may look into the wind guard. I actually picked up two of them as there was to be three in our party, at least two of us could cook at once.

Everyone was very impressed with the stove and its performance! They were not familiar with this stove and could not get over just how compact and lightweight it really is!!
