We tend to save this for impromptu picnics when our wood gasifying campstove isn't likely to be useful, ace for cheap hot dog fill ups at expensive theme parks & attractions as part of our arrive & eat philosophy (we put frankfurters in a vacuum flask to be warmed through & caramelise some onions, or for overnight car boot camping & a car boot type sale, it's good to have some warm food & drink in you without leaving your stall.
Cannisters are simple & easy to fit, giving good returns on cooking time, (though always carry a spare).
Sturdy & practical; with easy piezo (auto) ignition, what's not to like?
I'd consider having this for an allotment shed or workshop just so you know you can warm a can of soup / beans / sausage & bacon through without any trouble!
We also favour this item as a tool to teach our daughter to cook (she is 8 & was learning to cook a decent steak & caramelise onions recently, the advantage being it's smaller & can be set up within easy reach of a child (under strict supervision obviously) ..we find that full size kitchen equipment (eg a hob doesn't work so well with a child as it's often overwhelming which dials & buttons to press, this on the other hand simply has a piezo starter & dial for high / low gas delivery & everything inbetween, so this has been marvelous in that respect.
It's very stable & rapid cool down time make it truly portable!
Each time you use this stove it will get messy, so always pack some paper towel to give the top a quick wipe down.
We tend to pack ours with some thick catering foil in order that we can utilise the carry case as an impromptu wind deflector, (keep checking the plastic case isn't too close , nor too warm though).
Really pleased with this purchase, it's a no brainer buy!
