"I've been using my little White Box alcohol stove for two years now. I bought it in an attempt to reduce my pack weight and simplify my gear. Mission accomplished!

I've used my stove year round and it performs like a champ. It won't simmer, so if you're a mountain top gourmet chef then this stove probably isn't for you."

"After attempted cat/soda stoves myself (can't make one that boils water, grr) I picked this up - what a little wonder it is.

I don't imagine I'll be doing anything but boiling water, and this does it very well. If I'm going to actually cook I have a canister stove, but on those freezer bag only trips this stove is a winner and it takes away the need to guess at how much is left in a canister."

"Stove is very strong. Boils water fast for a stove that makes it own pressure. Can be carried without protection of bending.

Being made of thicker aluminum stove takes a little longer to preheat. About 1 to 1. 5 minutes according to outside temp."

"I got this stove for $25 shipped off ebay. I won't lie, I was skeptical at first. Got it, unwrapped it and it was very small. I was thinking it would be a bit bigger. Overall looked to be a nice piece. Crossed my fingers and decided to test it out."

"This alcohol stove is about as good as they get. I've used it for over a year now and the thing is fool proof. Never has it let me down when I need a quick boil. The stove is advertised as being made from recycled aluminum bottles.

I've used it up to 11,000 feet elevation and 28 degrees temps and it performed flawlessly."
