Review by powerpuffgirl

Good Features
 Extremely small and light, it's probably one of the best stoves in its price range. It's very simple to set up and the large control valve is easy to use with gloves on. There are also ridges on the arms to better hold your cookware.

Bad Features
 It'd fairly unstable so you need to place it on a flat surface. There is no windscreen so boiling will take more time than advertised. Also, it's pretty bad for simmering.
