Great compact little stove for backpacking

Great compact little stove for backpacking! No worries about hauling fuel! Plenty of twigs and leaves on the trail! FYI: don't use the Stanley narrow cylinder pot. It will not fit on the stove without some type of alteration to the stove. The wider Stanley pot or comparable fits perfectly. Happy Camping!

I'm mildly obsessed with lightweight gear and when I saw this online, I bought it immediately.  It is about a quarter the size and weight of my Snow Peak Giga Power stove, but it puts out a really good flame for heating water or warming food.  Be aware this is a compact stove, so it's great for small cookpots like the Stanley 24oz pot or one of the Toaks titanium pots.  I tried this stove immediately upon arrival and was very pleased at how quickly it would boil a pot of tap water and how quickly the stove cooled down after use.  This is likely to be my new go-to stove for overnight backpacking.

I've used this on several car-camping and one backpacking trip, and I love it!
Very light weight. Great to have both the cook-pot and the lid/skillet. And I love how compactly everything fits together for packing -- yet with enough room inside to store a trip's-worth of cubes and a container of matches.
A single fuel cube is sufficient to boil one pot of 16 oz water (at Houston, TX altitude) -- just right for most dehydrated backpacking meal-in-a-pouch. The fuel cubes have an odd odor, but not unpleasant nor obnoxious (compared to Bluett fuel cubes (bought for my sons' stoves), which smell like rotting fish, and permeates the whole room if you store your stove indoors).
I haven't tried the alcohol burner, as the fuel cubes are the perfect solution for me, but I appreciate having the option. I plan to try alcohol sometime in the future.

Only thing missing is a wind screen, but that's easy enough to engineer with a pack if needed. We didn't have problems and it was windy/rainy almost the whole trip. It's reasonably conservative with fuel, the burners operate independently with their own dials, and it's easy to set up and dismantle. We used it with one can of propane for a two-week roadtrip and made hot chocolate, coffee, MREs, etc. It's not so great for grilling hot dogs, but really, it was a great, compact stove that fits easily into our Gorilla Box trunk.

Great stove.  Perfect for beginners looking to start their backpacking journey or as a back up stove.  Easy to use.

This set is perfect for those wishing for a very small portable cookware set for 2 that can go on camping stove or fire. It is very small, and I joked that it belonged in my daughters play kitchen. But the large pot easily cooked 2.5 cups of water that was needed for our dehydrated meals. The canister stove with piezo ignition worked but would not ignite on its own using the ignition button. This is a common problem with these stoves and things can easily get unaligned when storing.  In order to use the stove we had to turn the fuel on and light it with a match or a lighter. This was not an issue for us as we just brought matches. The plates are metal like the rest of the set so they will get very hot if you place hot food on top. This is fine if you have a surface to set the plate, but if you have to hold it, it will be too hot. The plates are of course tiny as well. There is no way to keep it all together except the bag it comes with. The parts will fall out of each other. You can just tie some string around it or rubber band or keep it in the bag. There are also no instructions but it is safe to say do not put in your dishwasher. I am very happy with the value that you get for the price.

Good price, lightweight, works great. Doesn't have the smallest profile for a backpacking stove, but it was the right price for me.

I bought my first one years ago for my 50 mile hike on the A.T. (Appalaition Trail). It is still one of the lightest most compact stoves I have ever purchased. I have purchased two (2) more, 1 in case mine ever breaks, and one for my son who is in Boy Scouts and took his first 50 mile hike a few years ago. He has since taken his on more than over 200 miles. Still going strong.

I bought one of these for my 72-hour kit. My nephew gave me a pack of 8 tinder cubes for it, so I will toss those in there with it.

Haven't tried this little stove out yet. I'm thinking I could boil some water or heat something up over it in my GSI cup if need be. I've used the tinder cubes with other minimalist stoves before and found that they leave a LOT of soot on the cookware, but if it comes down to having to cook with this little three-legged unit, I doubt I will be worried about soot at that point. Besides, the GSI cup is stainless steel, so it should clean up okay.

I gave it 5 stars because it appears to be everything it claims to be. It's ultra light weight, reasonably strong, and folds up to a very portable size that would fit easily into a shirt pocket. The next step in minimalism for me would be to set the cook pot next to a little campfire, let the radiant heat do the cooking, and forgo the stove altogether. Been there, done that, too.

Post Script: Tried this little guy out yesterday using a previously-burned Esbit fuel tablet and a bit of aluminum foil to cover the pan that the fuel tablet sits in (to make cleanup easier). It boiled 16 oz. of tap water in a Stanley Adventure Camp Cookset pot in about 8 minutes. The stove's 3 legs set up firmly atop a tree stump and the cookpot balanced well on them, without any excess wobbling. There was minimal residue on the cook pot and it cleaned up easily. About 60% of the fuel tablet was consumed, which I blew out and saved for another day. The stove cooled off quickly and folded up to go back into its zip-lock bag for easy stowage in my 72-hour kit. Only things I added to the field test were a tea bag (why waste the hot water?) and a wind screen made from a steel beef stew can, as it was a bit breezy out. I gave this stove 5 stars initially and I'll stick with that rating. It did a fine job.

I'm an ultralight backpacker; used to 4 gram esbit and alcohol stoves.  When I do use a canister (sometimes you have to, especially out west) I used a BSR stove.  I have buddies who use Jetboil and I have to admit that if you don't mind the weight, they're probably one of the best stove systems out there.  Well I've gotten my base weight so low that I decided to give Jetboil a try for some of the hikes where I'd like to actually cook a little and not just boil water exclusively.  The MicroMo allows you to simmer although you still have to be very careful or you'll burn your food.  You have to pick it up and down while cooking to prevent that.  It weights 12 oz so I'm really only adding about 7 oz's over my lightweight cook kit.  I've made a small cozy out of reflectix to go over the small plastic cup that covers/protects the bottom fins of the stove.  It makes a perfect coffee cup so I don't have to carry anything buy my jet boil, a fuel canister that goes inside, a piece of scrubby, a bamboo spoon (all that i use) and a mini bic lighter.  I've only done some test cooking at the house but have to say nothing is easier or faster.  The weight of the MicroMo is really light enough that it's not too much more compared to my other cook kits.  And one of the advantages to having a base weight under 10lbs is that I can add in a bit of heavier gear and still be ultralight.  I bought the coffee press that goes with the Jetboil to use on the mornings when I'm not in a hurry to get on the trail.  I'll still use my esbit stove on certain hikes but I like having different gear for different hikes.  I'm also one of the strange ones who like the color of my back backing gear and cloths to match.  I have black packs and mostly black and gray hiking gear so this stove looks really good with everything else!

After moving into a new efficiency that did not have a kitchen/stove, I needed an alternative, small, and affordable solution. So I looked online, found this "portable" stove, and I am VERY pleased with it.

PROS:
- I used it to cook rice, boil vegetables, make tea, etc. I've boiled a pot of water with up to 4 cups of water, and it works great. Bring it to a boil quickly. Food comes out as any other normal stove top would produce.
- Sturdy design, easy functionality.

CONS:
- The only con would be the knobs for adjusting the heat. Sometimes, it's a bit difficult to tell how hot exactly you've set the knobs to. It's not a big deal, and after a few uses you get an idea of where the knob's position is to determine what heat level.

This is a fantastic and superbly priced introductory backpacking stove.  It folds down quite compact and the included carry bag helps protect it while in storage or while camping.  Like all backpacking stoves the only drawback I've found so far is that it is difficult to maintain a simmer.  It really does boil water very quickly.  As for two of the other reviews, I really don't understand their points: threaded fuel canisters are WIDELY available!  Check ANY sporting goods or camping store!  And of course the pictured fuel canister isn't included!  It didn't say it is anywhere in the description.  When you buy a bike rack do you expect the pictured bikes to be included with the rack?  Do you expect pictured food to be included with pots and pans?  Good grief people - a little common sense is apparently worth it's weight in gold!

All that said, for the money it's a fantastic stove.  No regrets from me.

Great camp stove - burns forever on one propane bottle.
- Fits well into a backpack for extended-use needs.  Not great for day or even one overnight hiking use due to weight.  But if you need a very efficient and reliable stove for a 3-5 day hike that needs only one 16oz fuel bottle, this stove is it.
- Flame control very good, actually works at the low setting.

Perfect little backpacking stove gets hot quick. easy to light, I bought the MSR bottle holder for the fuel can to sit on perfect combo.

We love this little camping stove! Compact and functional. The wind block works perfectly, too. I've used it for pan/skillet frying, steaming, boiling water for coffee. I wouldn't camp without it!

Shorter hikes or emergency situations if you esbit fuel on hand. Super small, lightweight. Wouldn't take on a long hike or camping, I prefer a stove I can also burn wood in, in case I run out of fuel. Works well with my Toaks 550 pot size.
