Great idea. Sure it works well, yada, yada...

But this is something still highly regional, yes? I mean if there's wood readily available to burn, what would the advantage be?

I get that in deserts or places where there's no fuel for a fire this thing is probably the nuts.

But given the option of a fire or using the stove - for the vast majority of food types - isn't a good old campfire still far superior/versatile?

I mean, I'm not shooting down the concept or anything. A good idea is a good idea. But for me, where I live, availability of natural fuel - making one of these just to keep on hand (other than for the novelty of it) seems like a waste of time.

edit to add: or am I missing something here?
