Weakness:
None I have used this stove on several occasions and I think that it is great! I have never had any trouble with it at all. I have used it as low as 20 degrees and have had no issues. It always starts right up. While this stove is very light and compact, I do think that they could have done a better job making the pot supports fold back further, but that is minor. Customer Service I have never had to deal with them. Similar Products Used: MSR Pocket Rocket (Too hot, flimsy pot supports) |

I am reviewing the Yellowstone Techno Trail, which looks nothing like the picture shown here, but seems to be from the same line. Similar Products Used: None |

Great stove, easy to light and no pumping or priming to mess with. the dial adjustment is smooth and allows you the ability to simmer or fire it up. pot stability is also very good since the pot holder bars are notched and will grip pots very well. the other bonus for this stove is that it will work with other butane/propane cannisters that have threaded attachments (msr, peak1, gigafuel) so fuel is not hard to find for this little stove. it boils water fast enough and i find that the typical 225g cannister will cook anywhere between 6 to 8 meals (depending of course on temperature and type of meal cooked) i'm very pleased with this stove Similar Products Used: colman dual fuel stove. |

This is a decent stove and a pretty good value. I bought it right before a trip after I'd realized that I lost my regular stove. Since I backpack in large groups, I have a 10-L pot that I usually cook pasta with, and this stove, like many others, failed to boil its contents at 50 degrees F even after 20 minutes. But it handles smaller quantities fine. Stability also isn't an issue unless you're dealing with humongous pots like mine. The best thing about this stove is its compactness and lightness. If you want to go a half step further, try the Yellowstone Light. I haven't tried it in cold weather yet, though I'd probably use a Whisperlite instead. All in all, a great value for $24.

Very easy to use. Stability excellent, especially with grooved pots. But without windscreen, very easy to blow out. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but this stove is overly sensitive to wind. I'm thinking it's because it doesn't use the little cup-like wind deflector sush as on the Yellowstone Light. Have decided to take a license plate for use as windscreen from now on. Otherwise, a great value Similar Products Used: All my friends bought this one too. |
