This portable butane stove is clearly much better made--in Japan, rather than China--than the other cheap ones available elsewhere. The safety features are reassuring, and the thought that went into incorporating the heat transfer plate that keeps the fuel container from losing pressure while cooking and allowing more complete use of the fuel is appreciated. If you think that you will be using such a stove frequently, or in situations where reliability is important, it is worth spending the few extra dollars to buy this stove instead of the cheaper ones.

I have only used it once for dinner last night, but had no problem heating up my wok quickly and keeping it hot. I used the standard GasOne fuel cartridges, worked fine. Machine detail on the burner is pretty. Instructions are well written, and show a decent level of attention to detail.

I had used a MaxBurton type stove a few years ago and I think this one is nicer. It's not super heavy but it is stable and my wok support ring fits in to the outer support groove nicely. Also I can set it on my electric range front and center, and it straddles the burners nicely. I can't use the electric range then of course, but in my small kitchen I don't have to give up counter space to use it, either.

I used this on a fishing trip recently. Made a hot shore lunch 3 different days. We didn't fry fish, but just heated up soup one day, beef stew one day, and boiled polish sausages one day.

PLENTY of heat coming off this burner. No issues there.

Carry case works well, but I would wish they made a spot

to hold a spare can of butane.

The "Gas One" butane cans worked just fine. I didn't even

use one full can for the 3 shore lunches.
