I purchased this to be a way to cook in the back country indefinitely using twigs and small branches if I had to. This is a backup to my alcohol stove or my ISO-butane stove. I hate the thought of running out of or spilling my fuel early on a trip and being unable to warm water and food. You never have to worry about that with a wood stove. The Titanium is significantly lighter than the stainless version, so you get more capability for just a few oz weight penalty if you carry this stove in addition to your normal stove. also makes a great primary stove if you want to build a small fire for each meal.
