This thing rocks!

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).

CONS: Only thing I can think of is that it may be a bit susceptible to wind. There is an optional Snow Peak windscreen, but bringing it sort of negates the compactness of the product.

CONCLUSION: This is one of the best products I have ever purchased.
