I agree with Stewart; this stove rocks. I've never used a stove so small, compact and powerful before. I've always used propane stoves.

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. I bring four canisters of fuel with me when I go for two weeks at a time. It's a little bulky in my Palisade, but I only use two canisters.

The overall design of the snow peak allows me to stow it in the front pocket of my pack along with my Bibler easton poles and gerber axe that's lashed on the outside pocket of my pack.

I have used it in the winter in the high desert where it's cold and windy--no problem whatsoever!!! It's a great little powerful stove it puts the heat in no time flat (that's when I'm boiling water for my Mountain House freeze-dried food--not a bad product!).

What more can I say about this stove innovation? Except that it "KICKS ASS!!!"
