The media could not be loaded. I have always wanted a stove in this style, so when I saw the Grippi Camping Cookware Set, I was excited to give it a try. Overall, this seems like a very similar construction to the name brand. It looks great and the stove and fuel canister conveniently pack down inside. It's lightweight and portable and lit right up when I tested the burner.

It arrived and I washed it out well with soap and water before anything else. A few days later, I set it up and did a test boil of water. It boiled .8L (labeled MAX) in about 5.5 minutes which is not bad. The only problem was it had kind of a chemical smell which I couldn't really figure out at first, but is coming from inside the pot itself. I let it boil and cool, then cleaned it out and did a second round of boiling. On the second go around, it still had a chemical smell, though not as strong. Since this is not unusual for new appliances (coffeemakers, toasters, ovens, etc.) I figure I'll give it a few more rounds at home - maybe even cook up some stale coffee or boil up some vegetable scraps just to get something other than water in it. I'm expecting this to fade away to nothing and am waiting to actually cook food in it until I can be sure it is gone.

I took videos showing how easy it is to set up (got a little bit too much ignition by going too slow when I was recording!), and showing how the outside and handle stay cool enough to touch. In fact, it is really efficient and there is very little heat around the pot when it is on full blast - all the energy is getting transferred into the water, which is exactly what you want. The only thing that I am a little concerned about is the chemical smell, but assuming that goes away with a few more rounds of heating it up, I think this is going to be a very good stove and a very good value compared to the name brand version.

This stove works just like a jetboil. Boils water really fast. Stove seems to be pretty efficient. Did not use a lot of has after using it to boil water 4 times. Liek that it comes with an adapter for different types of gas.

I'm really impressed with this purchase. It was very easy to set up and the materials used are light weight and sturdy. I think the pot is aluminum, I'm not sure? One small tip with this system, when lighting, the pot has to be off of the burner or it won't ignite. Once it's fired up the pot could be locked into place with a light twist. It took 5 min on low flame to bring 1 liter of water to a boil. My altitude is 3k ft. above sea level. A Jet Boil might be a little lighter and maybe slightly more efficient but there is no comparison in the cost and I bought this camp stove just for that reason. I'm very happy with this stove and highly recommend it.

So it's obvious that this is trying to mimic a JetBoil. JetBoil makes one of the best camping stoves you can get, however, they're absurdly overpriced. This stove cost a fraction of the price of a JetBoil. With such a drastic difference in price, it's illogical to expect this to function as well as the JetBoil. This stove has some quirks. The threads for the canister attachment are not perfect. You need to take great care when threading on your canister. The design is a little weird too. It also doesn't feel all that robust. It does, however, boil water pretty fast and efficiently. Overall, you just need to be really careful when using this stove. I would definitely suggest trying this out before you take it camping. If you keep your expectations in check, this is a decent stove.

I have a Jetboil that I use regularly for camping and wanted to spread out that capability. This is a solid piece of camp/cookware. Flip the adjustment lever, hook up your fuel, turn it up, and click. The mug us a great weight and haze thermal wrap. Using it is super simple, especially if you've worked with other units like this.

My use was the recent hurricane that came though. At about the 14 hour mark without power, it was time to officially 'get up' for the day even though we barely slept. I drew up 16 oz of water and grabbed death wish instant coffee. We had hot coffee within 4 minutes of starting up. My wife asks me why I get all this 'stupid' stuff. I reminded her of that as she's enjoying hot coffee without the luxury of electricity.
