Still got mine, still fire it up for something-or-other every few years (I've used to to forge small (very) iron/steel parts, and to melt lead) and it's a good stove... but...

Though nothing ever happened, I can't help but recall that the reality was that I always half-expected the thing to incinerate me, especailly when I was forced to use it inside a vestibule, or, once or twice, actually inside a tent. That little pot was useless- I didn't even pack it- nd it was less stable than one could have wished, so there was always a chance of losing dinner with one false move... and it was godawful noisy. In typical tourist areas I didn't care that much, but in real wilderness, the noise was so out-of-keeping with the rest of the experience, I always felt that I was setting off a sort of audio beacon for anyone or anything with curiosity for miles around.... and felt half-deaf when I turned it off and returned to the silence.

Bottom line, I appreciate the stove's qualities, and all that it did for me, but planning another backpacking trip today, I think I'd be looking for something else. I have a multi-fuel Whisperlite in the emergency gear, but that's not "it" either. Maybe a Kelly Kettle or Sierra stove, or one of the homemade alcohol stoves from the wings archive.
