Lightweight butane stove, fairly quick boil, limited simmer capacity

by Cindy C., Written on August 13, 2017
Bought this stove based on review from lite hiking blog. Seeking light butane stove w/ simmer capacity for 3 week backpack trip in Sierras. Tested on 1-week trip in high elevation Idaho wilderness. Light, easy set up, low-to-ground stove design detached from canister allows use of windscreen. A bit longer boil time than MSR 'pocket rocket'. Simmer is advantage although set rather high--difficult to keep from boiling over cooking spaghetti. Performed well at 9-10,000 feet. A little finicky in wind even with wind screen. No-burn handle is nice but could easily be damaged if left against pot. Fairly efficient fuel use-11 meals & fuel left in 460 ml canister. Nesting a little problematic; cannot put both stove & medium size canister in the pot.
