I really wanted one of those fancy pants Jet boil stoves you see on all of the magazines, but after chatting to the chap in the shop he recommended this stove and I'm really glad we got it now. Not only was it a stack cheaper, but it packs down smaller, you can detach the gas bottle, pick which size bottle you take with you and it has it's own lighter. Not only that but you can choose from a wider range of cook wear to use on it. Much better value ! Saved us about £100 on what we would have spent, more money for pasta and noodles !! (and beer)
Very stable to use, boils up quickly. Not had any problem with the pan slipping even in high winds. It is Stovetastic!
