I lost electrical power from hurricane winds for over 2 weeks. I cooked on the magic stove for the duration. I had the stove in case of such an event as I have no gas stove or propane grill.
The only con was no manual or user data. I figured out if you pull the wick out a bit, you get a hotter flame. But fuel may burn quicker?
