Very nice. For $30 it's hard to go wrong.

Thanks for the share. Definitely picking one up.

Been using a similar one from big 5 and they are awesome. I would say the only draw back is the fuel goes faster because the containers are smaller but that is a very negligible draw back. I think we used 3 containers for 3 people on a 9 day trip, maybe 60 meals altogether.

We have a butane burner packed in our Sprinter for when we don't have shorepower for the induction cooktop. Propane cooks a little better, but the integrated fuel setup with butane is a big plus to me. We choose the somewhat fancier Iwatani equivalent

as it was even more compact, but I used the reviewed unit camping out of the back of my Hundy, and think wither one is a good alternative given the small size and weight.

This is about perfect for what I'm looking for. Great review too!

Has anyone tested these at high elevations? Butane generally doesn't work too well up there.

I used ours in Moab this spring. It was painfully slow to boil water. It seemed to work better when we brought it into the cabin but still a pretty anemic flame.

I use a couple of similar Butane stoves, but my favorite is the Stansport Dual Fuel version:

Takes the same Butane cartridges for convenience (and buy them at your local Asian market BTW, they're 4-for the same price as 1 at Big5), but also allows you to use propane if needed. I carry the adapter hose along with the small bulk-tank adapter so I can run the thing off my 5lb tank, when needed.
