I have that exact stove too. Heavy and bulky by todays standards, but a real solid workhorse. I use it for car camping these days. Unfortunately, I haven't been backpacking for quite a few years now. This stove is probably not the best backpacking choice due to size/weight, unless your trip is short and these things are not an issue. Great for a bug out bag (a vehical bug-out bag that is) and/or car camping.
