Had to get this stove as we needed one for our trip overseas where we weren't sure if were able to find gas for our jetboil. We used kerosene and it was sort of hard to light at first but once you get the feel for it than you understand how to light the thing. I don't see the big deal about the stove. It does boil water fast but it's only versatile in that you can use different types of fuels. But you need to use a lighter or a match to start it and you have to pump it. Putting it away is kind of dirty in that the pump that goes in the bottle must be removed and you have to wipe the pump dry or else it will get on the rest of your gear.
great boiling stove use it for hiking and backpacking easily storable...not that easy to control the flame but it can be done very loud is the only draw back but it works amazing have had no trouble with it yet. its easier to light with a grill lighter or longer match which ever one works better for you but all in all great stove

If you want hot water NOW, this stove is a good choice. It is heavy/bulky compared to others, and overkill for most users, especially if you don't use a stove in international settings (fuel options a big plus for those who do!). The one thing you must know is that this is the LOUDEST STOVE I'VE EVER HEARD!! (Louder, even, than the MSR Dragonfly.) You will shout over this thing, and be heard nearly 50 yards away (yes, really).

I wont advise trying to cook on this stove as it was designed to boil. I wouldnt call the poor temp control a real con because it was designed to boil to begin with.
