From Vargo Outdoors:
"Made from ultra-lightweight quality titanium the Triad by Vargo is a long awaited advancement in alcohol stove design and functionality. The Triad offers the following features:&gt retractable top and bottom legs&gt compact design&gt easy to clean and maintain&gt reliable performanceWeight: 1.0 oz. 28 gramsBurner Diameter: 60mmDiameter when pot support is open: 85mmFuel Capacity: 1.75 oz.Collapsed height: 27mm* The Triad is designed to burn Denatured alcohol only found in most painting supply storesTO PREVENT FIRE OR INHAILATION OF GASES NEVER BURN THE TRIAD INDOORS OR IN A CLOSED AREA!!!Test results:Filled with 1 3/4 oz. denatured alcohol:&gtprime time: 30 seconds&gt1 1/2 cup boil time from start: 5 minutes 30 seconds&gttotal burn time: 24 minutesTest conclusions:It has been found that the first and second time the stove is used the expericnce is atypical. The stove may spark a bit until the stove has become broken-in. Boil and burn times may vary depending upon outside temperature and elevation.*Usage Tips:&gt pour excessive alcohol out by using one of the legs as a spout bottom leg first and then the top leg.&gt Do not overfill the stove. Only fill the stove to the point that there is a very small pool in the center concave area.&gta slight breeze will help the center priming flame to expand to the outside burner ring faster.&gtif the stove begins to burp alcohol this is an indication that it is not getting enough air and is burning to hot. To prevent this remove the windscreen.&gtit is highly recommended that the stove not be placed / burned on a hard flat surface rather it is better to press the bottom legs into the ground. This will have the effect of decreasing exposure to wind and also will make the stove incredibly stable."

"I have hiked on the AT, OT, CDT. I would say I am an ultralight backpacker. I love this stove for many reason if for no other than a second burner to main stove that I may be cooking on. I bought this stove from Prolite Gear."
