This was purchased for our RV...for early AM coffee brewed outside. Upon arrival I started planning other times/places that this will be useful...there are many!!! My husband was really impressed with the quality of the unit and the ability to use dual fuels is a bonus. I'm sure the standing guard if placed around this will protect it from winds and also reduce the time it takes for cooking. Very happy with this purchase!!

I just got this, and I got it for those times when I lose power here at my house. Seems to happen everytime the wind blows here, lol. I have a 2 burner Coleman propane camp stove but I just wanted something smaller also, that I could grab to make a pot of coffee or to make a quick meal on. I seen this and liked the fact that it had the option to use propane or butane. It's a great thing to have options like that, in case your out of one and have the other on hand or have to buy some and the store only has one or the other. I like knowing that you can also buy some kind of adaptor and then be able to hook it up to a big propane container. It comes in a plastic carrying case that has 2 sliding lock tabs and the case is ok but cheap. It will be fine though for me, does the job and glad it came with it. The stove is very light weight, metal is thin, and has rubber feet on bottom, sits nice and level. The grate sits in place nice, snug and level and I like how you just flip over the grate and sit it back into the stove burner area so it becomes flush with stove after your done with it, to store it. I finally just fired it up a minute ago, so I could tell you how it did for me. I hooked up a propane bottle and it all hooked up very easy, no problem, I turned the knob till it clicked and walla, I had a nice flame!! It was fast and easy and mine works like a charm, love it!!!! Would buy again if I needed another one.

I just took this stove camping on it's maiden voyage and I REALLY liked it! So easy to set up, so easy to cook on! Even in high winds, it did well. The wind shield was of no help in the high winds though, it just blows over, but the stove stayed lit anyway.

Works great and I love the fact that you can use propane or butane. One minor issue is the metal is very thin and weak. I'm guessing this is intentional to make it lightweight and portable but I think it should be a little bit more heavy duty. Overall, works great and even brought a 2 gal. pot to a rolling boil outside in 50 degree weather. I was surprised it could handle that.

Works very well. This little stove has three features I really like: 1) It lights itself with a peizo-electric spark. 2) The control knob turns the flame down gradually so it is very easy to adjust the flame over a wide range, and can be set very low if desired (probably not possible in windy conditions). 3) If the flame blows out, the gas is shut off automatically in about 5 seconds. Also the butane tank fits nicely into a compartment in the case with a closing cover - the propane arrangement is less elegant. The construction is light, but adequate. It might be a bit bulky for backpacking, but makes a very compact and convenient counter-top stove. I ended up buying two of the as I liked the first one so much.

Comes with a plastic carrying case that holds the stove with it's butane bottle installed. The propane option is included and has a hose that can also be kept in the case, but not the propane cylinder. It would have to be carried separately.
