“We just took this system on a 7-day backpacking trip. I think next time I will carry a smaller folding stove and cook system instead. The burner seemed to flicker off if we tried to use the lid as a skillet (maybe not enough airflow?), so we stopped trying to use it that way. Lighting was a little touchy, and the piezo sometimes fell out of position or totally off the stove. We spent a lot of time asking each other "is it on? are you sure it's still on?" So we definitely wasted some time and gas on lighting issues. That said, it seemed to be pretty efficient with the gas when it WAS working properly. Maybe some more instructions about the proper use and positioning of the windscreen and venting would have helped us out. Overall, I don't think it is worth the weight and bulk if you plan to carry it on your back. Even the nylon case is rather heavy, if handy. Leave this one for car camping.”
