I am a backpacker who likes to go as light as possible, and I think I may have found my new cooking setup with this little outfit. First of all, I saw this stove/cookset combination at REI, and thought it looked intriguing. Before buying it I thought that I should read some reviews. I read a number of reviews here on Amazon, and also watched some video reviews on YouTube. It seemed like there was a wide range of opinions, so I held off on buying it. Well, about a week ago I decided to give it a try, and ordered it through Amazon. Am I ever glad that I did! One of the main complaints on this product is that it takes a long time to get 2 cups of water to boil. That's true if you're comparing it to a canister stove, or something similar. If you don't mind waiting 15 minutes, or so, to get your water boiling, then this thing will do the job. As soon as I got it in the mail I put it to the test. Here's what I found: First test was in the house, with two cups of cold water, with fuel cube setting in the tray according to the directions. The two cups came to a rolling boil in just over 12 minutes. Second test was exactly the same, except with the fuel cube on its side. The two cups of water came to a rolling boil in 10 minutes. Third test was outside, with 30 degree temperatures, and 25 mph wind gusts. Again, I used two cups of cold water along with a windscreen of aluminum foil (I wrapped the windscreen all the way around). The two cups of water came to a rolling boil in 17 minutes. The last test was as close to field conditions as one could get, I believe. In the field, a person could also add twigs to keep the flame going longer (and hotter). The last test sealed the deal for me...I will now be taking this cookset on my next backpacking trip, and saving a lot of weight in the process. The key is to practice beforehand (especially with the windscreen--that is definitely the most important part), and plan accordingly for what this stove is capable, and not capable, of.
