Thanks a lot, that was fun reading
If I post interesting stoves, that's good. If I post stoves and write in a way that allows people to find stoves interesting, that's better.

I think the popularity of this stove is due to the small size and convenient form factor AND the genuine fascination for a design that is really awesome cool, dangerous and minimalistic while at the same time being practical.
Yep, all that, particularly the fascination. This is a raw, downright
uncivilized stove. I think many find that uncivilized aspect refreshing in this day and age.
