Buy it! Use it! Love it!

All I can say is wow! Going in to the purchase I was a little skeptical on the quality and how well this wood burning stove would work. I had seen several other similar stoves that worked fine but found very little info on this "brand". After watching several videos I soon realized that this stove is made in China and rebranded to many different companies and is ultimately a knockoff of the silverfire scout which sells for considerably more.The quality of the product is surprisingly good, I was expecting something cheap and flimsy but that was not the case. The body of the stove is made of thick double walled stainless and has zero flex and fits perfectly on the single walled base. The basket that drops in to the stove body is also made of high quality stainless.I was a little worried about the dimensions given as one part days 5.11 inches while another stated 5.5 inches. I can confirm the stove has a diameter of 5.25 inches at its widest point and nests perfectly in my 775ml msr alpine stowaway pot, it also fit perfectly in my ozark trail 10 piece cookset (after eliminating some bowls). The ozark trail kit is a direct knockoff of the gsi Dualist so it should fit in that kit as well. The center of the stove also allows for storage of some small items. I was able to fit my firesteel, a mini Bic, water proof matches (in a plastic case), cotton balls and a folding fork and folding spoon pretty easily.I'll update my review with some examples of how it nests and what it can hold here in the next few days.Lastly the stoves performance. I first loaded up the stove with 2 cups of wood pellets, tossed a cotton ball covered in Vaseline on top and lit it with a single strike of my firesteel. Within 3 minutes the stove started its gasification process and was ready for use, the flame was perfect and almost flower like coming out of the gas hols around the top of the stove wall. My first order of business was to make popcorn which it did flawlessly, I didn't time it but I had a full pot of popcorn in less than 2 minutes! After I ate all of the popcorn I decided to do a boil test, the fire had been going for approximately 20 minutes before I put on 8oz of water in my stainless msr 775ml alpine pot. It brought the water to a rolling boil in 1min 59 seconds! I was absolutely stunned. I them took the water off and let it cool down. Around the 1 hour mark the flame stared to die down but was still generating a flame above a very hot bed of coal. I put the water back on and it once again went to a rolling boil, this time in about 5 minutes since the flame wasn't as intense. At 1.5hours I had to put the coals out because it was getting so late. You can see on the picture it burnt from daylight to darkness!The stove put out very little smoke once the gasification process took place, I would gladly use this under a tarp without worry of being smoked out. It did however put some soot on my pot, but I'm honestly not concerned about how pretty my pot looks.So yes, buy it, use it and love it!
