I haven't used this yet but I'm not worried about it. It went together easily and it's very straightforward. I watched some videos of other people using it and they are all very happy with it. It seems very well made and it will be easy and light to carry.

Like most things, there is a bit of a learning curve using the stove, like keeping the flames going without it smoking you out. But, for the price, it's a good stove - it puts out a decent amount of flame - we used wood pellets in it, which is very economical and produced very little ash. You could cook something on it, for sure, but I have not done that yet. We used it outside in our 10 x 10 gazebo to keep warm at about -8 celcius and it worked alright (with the curtains mostly closed). Didn't need gloves on with coat undone and stayed out for about 2 hrs easily. Bought a second one so we can have 2 going in the gazebo and should warm it up nicely.

Edit: The supports that hold up your pot/kettle is held on by three tiny weld beads. You might want to reinforce it with some heat-resistant epoxy. The flame in the photo is from small twigs and splinters from a log of wood. Even more impressive was the amount of ash left over (minuscule for the amount of fuel we put in meaning a more complete and efficient combustion)The smoke without a utensil is negligible, but any utensil put on top will blacken immediately, while the smoke increases as the fumes have less time to combust properly due to the shorter flame.One star removed from ease to use because of the size of twigs and sticks have to be short or they won't fit inside the chamber. Might be easier to use pellets or mulch.It folds up to a ridiculously small package (I initially thought that it wasn't included in the amazon delivery) so 5stars on convenience.Make sure you use the stove on cleared earth or a slab of stone underneath, otherwise the hot ashes will harm/ ignite the grass beneath.

Easy to assemble out of the box without instruction. Fits together snugly and disassembles easily even after use. The mesh bag for storage is heavier gauge cordage than you'd expect and it's roughly the size of a small camp cooking kit with room to fit fire starter and lighter in there as well. To light I used one cotton ball and small twigs, piled on larger ones. Started easily and, even with damp wood it worked well with a minimum of smoke. I tested it with a standard size camp coffee pot about two thirds full. It took awhile to get the rolling boil, expected given the amount of water, and probably about the same as a gas stove. Once a rolling boil was achieved it was easy to maintain feeding a few occasional sticks. Letting the flame burn down to the coals produced a simmer. No mistake, you do have to feed it frequently, about every two or three minutes but easy to do with the opening for that. The flame was similar to a gas stove once the flame was established. A little less uniform than a stove but controlled. Once the fire is out it cools fairly quickly and leaves only a fine cool ash that is easy to disperse in the woods. At a bit over a pound I wouldn't take it back packing but it has a place on every canoe or car camping trip. It's sturdy enough for cast iron on flat, solid ground. The base is broad but there are no stabilizing legs on the bottom to further guard against tipping. A few rocks around it would do well as long as it doesn't block the air flow from the base. All around highest ratings.

I'm adding my triple thumbs up review to the rest of these -- this stove is awesome! It's well-made, super straightforward to use, and gets things hot quickly.First trial was at the beach on a windy day and it worked great. I used one piece of dry bark and some driftwood twigs as fuel, plus a cotton ball soaked in vaseline. Sparked it with a magnesium rod and it started right up -- a nice swirling mini-inferno. You have to keep feeding it, but even when we ran out and spent 5 minutes looking for more fuel it stayed hot. Dumped the new sticks in, waited 30 seconds, and it was a tornado blaze of fire again. I put a pot of popcorn kernels on in with some oil and we had popcorn in about 3 minutes.When we were done it took about 10 minutes to get cool enough to touch. To speed up the process I used two stubby pieces of wood as potholders to take it apart -- very easy to do even with clumsy hands. There was a lot of carbon on the pot I used and at the top of the stove, and the metal took on a rainbow oily sheen in some parts. All cosmetic -- the stove was fine. But don't expect it to stay shiny forever.The nesting parts store really well. They clang around a little and if I was backpacking with it I'd put a cloth in there to keep it from sounding like an all-cymbals marching band. Looking forward to using it again!

I've used the stove twice so far. Once on my deck just to test it out and once at a group camp outing. The first time I think I over filled the stove plus it was windy and it kept blowing out. I was using it on my deck without the pot holder ring on top. Placing that ring on the stove seemed to improve the burn and it blew out less frequently. The second time, actually at camp, I only filled it about 1/2 way. It burned perfectly, boiled a pot of water and easily had plenty of burn time left for a second pot of boiling water. Both times I used wood pellets as the fuel. The stove worked very well, and was easy to use. The second time, I supervised and a 10 year old actually set it up and boiled the water. My friends were impressed and I recommended it to them. I could use another one or two in my set of gear eventually too. The only concern that I'll be keeping an eye on it that one of the three pot supports became much looser than the other two after the first burn. Not wobbly at all, it just pivots in and out of it's storage position much more easily than the other two. Overall I very happy with the product. It packs up small, sets up easy, works well for cooking, and is available at all the lowest price I seen for this type of product.

Lantern seems to be a quality item,exactly as described. Wood stove also is well designed, light, easy to backpack. I will be using both next week during a winter camping trip. Based on the quality of both, I expect them to perform well.Update: I just returned from a winter camp/hunt where I used this stove. It worked really well, boiling coffee in no time. What I found was that the stove really needs to be level and witha firm base. I thought I had it firmly grounded by screwing it down into the snow, but the fire melted the snow some, stove tilted and the cup of coffee wanted to slid right off the stove. Other than that, stove is great, slips into pack and don’t even know it’s there.
