It boils water, no problem
by William of Glendale (3 out of 5 stars)
August 30, 2013

I bought this stove on a whim while browsing Amazon.com because I wanted to see what a $7 stove looked like. I got it in about 7 weeks (truly via a slow boat from China). It works as advertised. But what is different from the more expensive models is that it is a little smaller and you really don't want to put a very big pot on it. I tried a 6 inch diameter pot with about 3 cups of water and it boiled the water quickly, but the pot felt a little unsteady and the heat from the burner warped the little fold out feet on the pot support so they didn't fold up anymore. I could probably straighten them back out with some pliers.

Judging by the bubbles at the bottom of the pot the heat is concentrated in a 2 inch ring, which is fine for boiling water but would cook non-liquids unevenly.

With a few mile per hour breeze the fire did not blow out but one would be wise to protect it from wind.

The plastic case is a nice touch - and admired by friends who have bigger stoves that come in bags.

Would I recommend it to a friend? Maybe. I don't think I would trust my life to such an inexpensive stove on an extended trip.

Good backup stove
by Nick (3 out of 5 stars)
January 1, 2015

First off, this stove takes a while to ship since it a Chinese copy of some of the more popular stoves. If you are in now hurry and the price looks good, go ahead and get yourself one.

I spend many weeks a year outdoors so I figured for the price I would try it out. I figured I have spent $6 bucks on worse things. The item is very small. I was impressed by how small I packs down. The little orange plastic it comes in is about 4" x 2.5" x 1.5". Its small. The stove is easy to get in and out of its packaging and the cooking arms spread out easily and evenly. The peizo igniter is a nice touch since even many of your higher priced stoves do not sport that feature. The stove has a nice controllable valve on the side and seems rather sturdy when on a canister and boiling in a small pot.

The not so good on the stove is that the flame produced is uneven and seems a bit slow to boil. Using a Snowpeak propane/butane blended fuel canister, it took about 8 minutes to boil 2 cups of water in a stainless steel cook pot. My MSR will boil the same amount of water in about half the time. Not a big deal when youre just hanging out at camp but the extra time also equals more fuel use. This stove is not a efficient as an MSR or Snowpeak. Another annoyance is that the stove seems to leak fuel when applying it or removing it from the canister. You have to be quick on installing it or breaking it down so you don't waste too much fuel. Plus it is annoying having that fuel spray all over your hands and making them freezing cold. The third annoyance was that the arms were a bit thin and had to be bent several times in order to have the pot sit level on the supports. Once it was manipulated enough, everything seemed to sit rather nicely.

I would say overall that this stove is a good purchase for the money and would be good for someone looking for a budget stove or a decent little backup that will not take up much room in a pack. Don't expect a Snowpeak, MSR or Jetboil out of this little guy, but then again if you were, you wouldn't be buying a $6 stove.

Impressed in trial run with this tiny tool. Can't wait to take it out on the trail.
by Tim Monzingo (5 out of 5 stars)

So far, I'm impressed with this little - and I do mean little - stove. I just got it and haven't been able to test it on a trip yet, but I took it for a quick trial run after it came in. Depending on its performance on in the field, I'll update this review.

It's a whole lot smaller than I expected it to be, so much so that I was afraid it wouldn't be suitable for the Stanley cook pot that I use (http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Camp-24oz-Cook-Set/dp/B00H3377W6), but on level ground in my barn, the pot sat snugly on the supports and didn't wiggle while boiling. The piezo lighter attached sparked the butane on the first try. Piezo's usually don't get good reviews, so it was nice to see this worked well initially, but only time will tell how long it keeps working. Wouldn't be an issue to spark this with a lighter, match or something else, though. It boiled 12oz of water in a little over five minutes, which isn't as fast as the Coleman Peak backpacking stove I bought this to replace (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BHA9CG?keywords=coleman%20backpacking%20stove&qid=1452266396&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3), but considering how much smaller the burner is and that the quality of construction seems better, I can live with that.

This thing is all metal, except for the gaskets (obviously), which is a big upside. As much as I love that Coleman stove, I've had problems with the plastic casing cracking after many years of use. Since this is all metal, I expect it to hold up a little better.

Mostly, it's the size that makes this a winner in my book. This thing is the length of my palm (see pictures) and it'll pack away nicely in the pot, which is something the Coleman was too big to do. Like I said, we'll have to see how it performs on the trail, but I expect it to do well and be a great addition to my gear. For the price I paid (just the stove and container) I'd recommend it so far, even if you tuck it away as a backup and never use it.

For the record, I bought this of my own accord and received no compensation for this review. Happy camping!

Its A great stove!
by Spawn (5 out of 5 stars)

The arms swing out for supporting a pot or pan, problem is one arm gets stuck and you need to loosen the burner head to swing it into position. The unit is very compact and has a hot flame. For the price it is OK.

Just used this on a recent camping trip, worth the money if you are looking for a very compact hiking stove. Boils water in about a minute at sea level.
(EDIT).....I wanted to update this review to reflect how I feel about this stove now. Initially I wasnt pleased with how the unit functioned but since I have purchased this unit I have fallen in love with it. It isnt very often when you buy a cheaper product that you really find quality this high. It is very small, light and powerful. By far the most important piece of hiking equipment I own.

I want to thank the vendor also for the attention to those minor issues I had before, but like I said I have grown to love this stove!

Budget buyer check this stove!
by Renea (5 out of 5 stars)

I really wanted a pocket rocket brand stove. I still want to support pocket rocket brand. That said, if you are like me and you are on a budget- this is (in my opinion) every bit as good as a pocket rocket.

It fits in the palm of your hand.

It is self igniting.

I have used it only for Iso Butane canisters but I have heard it MIGHT be used for other fuels... haven't tried that one... no need to really.

I got this product and a solid fuel burner as a back up for backpacking. I have NEVER needed the solid fuel. This stove has never let me down. I have used it in 30* and I have used it in 80*. I have had it for about 2 or 3 months now and have used it dozens of times cooking.

In fact, I just got one for my mother for camping.

Great little burner
by Eric B. (5 out of 5 stars)
December 15, 2016

Great little burner. My gf has one but hers is lacking the igniter, so we had to carry a lighter and kept burning the hair off my knuckles. I took this backpacking with a bunch of friends, easily the best burner we had. One guy had an older MSR stove he bought for $40, another had the liquid fuel stove, but he kept having problems (granted his stove is like 25 years old), but dealing with the fuel looked like a pain. Most of them ended up just using my little $8 burner, they were all in disbelief when i told them how little I spent

Good for someone on a budget who camps rarely
by T. Peters (3 out of 5 stars)

I have owned this for 5 years now and so can tell you how it has fared after about ~20-40 using it. Within the first 10 times or so, I noticed that while screwing on or unscrewing this stove from a fuel canister, it would let out a blast of (cold!) vaporized fuel for about one or two rotations halfway through. So this is definitely not very safe.

Somewhere between 10-30 uses (happened gradually, I suppose), the parts of the metal arms that rotate out to proving a level base became pretty loose, and so no longer create a level platform (see photo). The result is that I have to balance a pot on four small points, each only about two inches from the other.

So, I don't think it makes much sense to save money buying this unless you are okay with only getting about 10-15 uses out of it.

cannot beat the price
by greg (5 out of 5 stars)
October 23, 2019

I used this little guy for about 5 years, for a $5 investment, that is a fantastic payoff. The electric lighter system it came with never worked. I would see a spark but had to use a bic to light it. I stopped using it after letting a bit too much gas come out and it leaked down the can and had to throw dirt on it to safely extinguish the flame. about half the hole were clogged and I no longer felt safe using it. I consider that my own error though. Light the bic first, place it over the exhaust holes, then release the gas and it will work fine. I had a few problems, but it compared well to the MSR pocket rockets in boil time, weighs practically nothing, and cannot beat that price tag. I will buy again

Great Little Stove for Boiling Water
by BSUNG (4 out of 5 stars)
September 13, 2018

I got this for backpacking. My partner and I had a Coleman 2-burner Camp Stove that was a great car-camping stove but hugely impractical for backpacking. This little stove is great for getting boiling water for dehydrated meals but takes some extra love and care if you want to make stews or fry something in a pan. Since it is such a small burner, the heat does not disperse very widely causing the the area directly above the flame to be very hot but the edges to be much cooler. This can be solved by moving the pot or pan regularly on the flame to avoid hot spots. If you don't expect this stove to be a gourmet meal cooker, it works good! The piezo igniter definitely makes lighting this stove less scary than lowering a match and having a whoosh of fire shoot up at your hand.

Wow
by Ed (5 out of 5 stars)

I do a lot of camping and have been using other types of stoves. (Alcohol and Solid Fuel styles.) They work well but I wanted to try something else. I saw this reviewed on You Tube so I decided to give it a try.

Now it took a while to arrive as it was shipped from China. (I saved the Tag.) Almost a month in fact. But arrive it did and I found it in my Mailbox this afternoon.

Me being me I just had to play with it. I attached it to a canister of fuel and set it up on the patio with a camp Coffee Pot loaded with 2 cups of water. (A standard for a boil test.) Even with good winds it brought the water to a rolling boil in 2 minutes 48 seconds. Outstanding. This little bugger puts out some heat.

Set up is easy as you please. Pull it out of it's little carry box and open out the Pot Supports. Turn out the extensions and spin the whole thing onto a tank. (You have to press it into the tank a little bit.) Finger tighten it and you're ready to go. Turn on the fuel and hit the ignitor and it's lit easy as that.

I can't attest yet as to the burn times on the different fuel canisters but I have heard the smaller 100 gram will burn for 26 minutes at full burn. That's a long time for a stove like this. That means the larger canisters (220 grams) should burn for nearly an hour. That's quite a few days of camping. I'll update these times as I use this stove of course.

Construction of this stove looks good. Nothing looks cheap and it seems to be well made. We'll see how it holds up to being carried in a pack and used in the heat of Florida.

Pro's:

It's small

It's lightweight

It cost almost nothing

It burns hot

Flame output is adjustable

It has it's own ignitor

Cons:

It seemed to take forever to get here

Okay let's add to this.

I went out for a day hike today in the Scrub Lands of Florida.

After a three mile hike in we stopped to take a break at the side of a stream. We had packed in food as well as Coffee.

First off I brewed up a pot of Perked Coffee on this stove with no problems. (About five minutes.) Then I cooked up two pans of a Scramble. (3 eggs and chopped Chaurice for each pan.) This took maybe another five minutes total.

The stove worked flawlessly. Quick heat yet easy to control.

I have used this stove multiple times for a total burn time of maybe 90 minutes. There have been no problems other than the ignitor which was weak at first. (Bending the wire closer to the burner created a hotter spark which means a one spark start.) An easy fix and not a game changer by any means.

I have been working on my first 220 gram fuel canister for all of this and still have fuel left. I'm liking this stove.

So far I'm more than pleased with this little stove.

Great buy! Order more than one!
by HopelessRoguemantic (5 out of 5 stars)

I only wish I would have ordered several my first time placing an order. Several friends have them now, as well as my brother and father. Sure, there are better backpacking stoves, but nothing comparable at such an affordable price. I don't mind the weight(or price) of carrying 2 so that I have a back up....but I have never needed it. After seeing several of these units put to use, I have seen exactly zero of them fail so far. I have used this many times as my only means to cook and boil water. I trust it in the high country and it always delivers. Generally I couldn't recommend pinching pennies on such a vital piece of gear....but you can save a lot of money with this unit and feel good about doing it. Buy an extra, your friends/family are going to want one!

Couldn't get it to work.
by Edgar A. De Jesus (1 out of 5 stars)
July 1, 2017

I had in stock for four years as I haven't really gone camping to the point that I had to cook. Finally, a week ago when I was about to use it for the very first time, it won't light up. It's a good thing that I brought another camping stove with me which worked. Once I got home I took it out and looked at the questions and answers at the Amazon product page. I experimented with the valve settings as some of the answers suggested but to no avail. I know that piezo igniter works as there's a spark, but the gas doesn't seem to reach it. Took it apart and cleaned it to no avail.

If any of you has some suggestions with what else I can do, I'll gladly try.
