Lighter weight than I thought it would be. 7 out of 8 wind shield screws had fallen out. They were installed with plumbers tape wrapped around the screws and still fell out even though the packing of the stove in the carton was good. The latch to hold the lid down had to be tightened so as not to fallout. Might go back to the thrift store and buy back my 15 year old Coleman as a back up. I thought the Brunton would be a step up.

We got this burner to replace a single burner stove my husband bought last year. This one looked more stable on the table. My husband, who's not very mechanically inclined, got this out of the box and put together all by himself, not that it looked very difficult. He hooked up the propane tank and had it running within minutes. The starter worked fine. The burner worked exactly as we needed it to. The windscreen is a nice addition which we didn't have with our last burner. I really have no complaints.

After using the burner, the whole unit folded easily back down into an easy carry case. This was good value for the money and I'm glad we got it.

The earlier reviews were spot on. The edges of this stove are very sharp however 5 mins with a deburring tool took care of them.

As for the lighting issue, I found that one burner would light without issue yet the other was a pain. The cause? the paint for the piezo unit covered the "strike" area. Over time the paint will burn off however it tends to "pool" in the piezo unit. So to speed the process up I scraped the paint off with a cocktail stick, result both light first time every time.

Tip: Do not throw the cardboard packing pieces away instead tape them with duct tape to protect the components from rubbing when carrying.

Conclusion: Think of it as a DIY stove kit, almost there but needs a could of tweaks and great value at forty dollars ( Way to go Amazon on pricing!!! )

i have owned this stove for over a year and it has worked wonderfully for me, it's lightweight, easy to clean, and yes it dents if you drop it on the campground fire grate, but it still works fine !

We bought this stove to replace an inexpensive Coleman that has served us well over the past several years. What a mistake! The stainless steel lid is very thin and prone to bend/dent. All of the edges on the lid and on the carrying handle are sharp enough to cause injury. One of the burners on mine takes about 10 pushes of the ignitor to light. This stove is way overpriced for what you get.

Took it out for a week while elk hunting with a friend.
Good stuff. 2 burners was enough. Got the coffee hot quickly every AM, cleaned up in a jiffy.
