Nice review Jim.

The Xtreme is a rather unusual stove and I couldn't tell you the last time I took it backpacking or climbing. I usually take a lighter stove for one trip or a more robust stove for others. My Xtreme sees most of it's use in camp these days but it never fails to impress with it's ease of use (even in cooler weather) and it's ability to boil a lot of water quickly. In camp on cold days I'll run it at as low a simmer as I can manage in order to keep coffee hot so everyone can enjoy a second or third cup.
