Very happy with this stove. Achieved gasification in 3 minutes. Boiled 4 cups of water (4,800 foot elevation) in just under 10 minutes. Of course this is not as fast as a gas stove, but that's not the point. I am now at peace knowing that I can cook all the extra stuff we come upon while camping/backpacking (fish, mint leaf tea, Brigham tea, kids endless supply of hot cocoa, melted starburst, etc.) without worrying about fuel loss.I knew ahead of time my plans would be blackened by this stove.
