I've used this stove several times now camping in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains, as well as a longer backpacking trip in Alaska. I like how small this stoves folds up to, with the carrying case leaving space for a lighter, so you don't leave home without a way to ignite the stove. It boils water fast enough and I have only knocked the pot off once, but that was my fault and not due to the size of the supports. For the price, it's reliable and you can't beat it.
