I carried the Trangia Westwind stove for 2000 miles on the AT with never a failure of any type. Fuel is easy to get in most hardware stores as denatured alcohol or carry Everclear and fuel the cook as well as the stove.
Cons:
- I would like to see it brought back in a titanium version.
Best Used for:
- long distance backpacking in above freezing temperatures.
Would recommend: Yes

Used w/ Trangia Stove but also with homemade alcohol stoves. Since it is a windguard and potstand all in one, it's a welcome piece of eqpt. There are other solutions I know, but this was something cheap to try. And Campsaver.com is not shy about placing it on sale from time to time. One thing, it's not very useful as a potholder unless the width of your pot's base is over 3 2/8 inches.
Would recommend: Yes

I use the product when backpacking or car camping. Took it on an overnighter in the back country for all my cooking needs, took it to the Grand Canyon car camping to supplement our dual-burner stove and made coffee in the tent vestibule while it was snowing. I love the way it disappears into your pack, and it's fun to put together. I really can't think of any downsides.
