AOTU Portable Camping Stoves Backpacking Stove with Piezo Ignition Stable Support Wind-Resistance Camp Stove for Outdoor Camping Hiking Cooking

Folds up very compactly, is lightweight, and fits in the case very well. Although it feels a little flimsy when I fold out the "arms", it is actually pretty sturdy. I was new to using this type of camping stove, but it was super easy. I was able to boil 12oz of water in 2 minutes and 2 seconds (I used a high, but not the highest, output setting). It fit on the 100g canister of isopro with no problem. My largest camping pot (just over 7 inches in diameter) fit without seeming like it will topple over, but I would go larger than that. It doesn't seem very windproof, but that's pretty obvious with the design. The piezo starter works every time (so far), but I'll still bring matches.

This thing is great! I used a few times on my last camping trip and it gets super hot and works great. The ignitor every time and I don't see how the name brand competitors are still in business. You can get a few of these and keep them around as backups. For $10, I really couldn't recommend getting anything else. It is built pretty decently, and even on top of a coleman Propane bottle, it was pretty stable. You do have to purchase an adapter to use Propane though. Overall a great product at an unbelievable price.

Great light weight backpacking stove weighing in at around 100 grams. And sold at a really good price. I've seen these selling for more money on several other sites. This is a great buy at around 6 dollars and change with the Tax. Get one at this Price for a home Emergency like snow & loss of power etc. Fuel isn't expensive for these stoves either. I'd definitely purchase this again if needed. Would make a great gift for any occasion.

The media could not be loaded. While I had my doubts about a product like this stove, at this price range, being good enough, I have to admit I am pleasantly surprised. I saw plenty of other options, including the much more expensive JetBoil products, and I decided to take a chance for the less than 15 dollar price. Although I've only used this stove about 3 times, it has been great! Easy to use(no instructions included, though it's as simple as screwing it on a butane/propane canister and slightly opening the regulator, then just giving the igniter a click and that's it!) and it only took 6 minutes to boil 20oz of cold water! While it's not the most sturdy, it's not in any real danger of toppling over so long as you balance whatever you place on it. It does get a bit wedged when you're unfolding the last arm, but a bit of wiggling fixes that. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I want to put it to the test over the next couple of months. My end goal is to have a reliable, portable, quality stove that I can take with me when I hike into the grand canyon, so expect an update if it holds up from now, until after I return!

I purchased this stove to heat water on my small sailboat for overnight adventures; I needed something compact with a safe fuel source (i.e. butane canister). My other stove is an MSR Whisperlite, which requires liquid white fuel and needs to be primed before use - not safe on a moving sailboat! The portable camp stove is a great deal for the price; the travel container is very compact and will easily tuck into a pocket on a backpack or tucked into a pot. The container is soft plastic and probably won't stand up to much abuse. The stove itself is obviously quite compact and threads easily onto a butane canister. The construction is a bit lightweight so you have to take care when handling it. The three pot support legs rotate from the travel position to the cooking position but there is no positive lock to hold them in place. The supports have tiny fold-out "hands" upon which the pot sits. These hands have metal teeth that would grip a pot with ridges on the bottom. My stainless steel pot is smooth on the bottom, so I basically had to hold it while heating water so the pot didn't slip off the stove. The flame is adjustable and goes from a simmer to blowtorch. I used it to boil water; I didn't measure the volume or time exactly but it boiled water for two travel mugs worth of coffee in about 4 minutes. Overall, I was pleased with the performance of the stove and it will be coming with me on my future sailboat trips. Because of the light construction of the stove, I would prefer a more durable unit like my Whisperlite for extended backcountry use or on trips where access to butane canisters is limited (the Whisperlite can use unleaded gasoline in a pinch). However, for occasional use or as a backup stove, this portable stove really can't be beat.
