Only got pictures before use, but these come with a ton of fuel- 24 circular candle shaped ones. After lighting these it burns great and without smoke! Very easy to ignite and keep burning. Would reccomend for any outing needing a temp stove or ER stove.

What I love about this stove is the fact that it is so cheap and it can be used with various "fuels." Do note that the fuel tabs included do have a little bit of an odor and will leave some soot on the underside of what you cook in. That said, I was able to get 1.5 cups of water to a boil in under 5 minutes using my MSR aluminum cooking pot with 3 fuel tabs, and there was fuel left over. I was able to heat up water using their "fire sticks", although there was some soot left behind on the underside of my pot from doing that. That's the fuel being used in the photo.For $10, this is worth keeping in your car or a closet in the event of an emergency if you need to boil water or heat food or want a cheap entry-level stove for getting into camping.

After being hit by Helene and Milton I want a few ways to cook. Flimsy but light. It's worth the money and priceless if the power goes out. It comes with the candles

A couple of years ago we had a really bad winter storm that knocked power out for almost a week. Temperatures were below freezing the whole time and it was cold in the house. This would have really come in handy for cooking. We had a fireplace but no set up to cook over the fire. This could be set up on the fireplace slab for cooking stuff like canned food and ramen noodles. Good for camping as well.

One should know that the included burner tabs are limited in their use I boiled about a cup of water using three of them it did bring it to a rowing boil before they ended it is best to use additional pot fans to enhance the performance however what I did find is that if one uses an altoids-based alcohol stove inside the stove itself it will boil water and also act as a windscreen fantastic application. If one is looking for means to create set of alcohol stove The YouTube channel waypoint survival has excellent videos and examples of how to make an alcohol stove. Bruce may have a different opinion I think for $6 this was an absolute steal

I think the concept is basically a stove for emergency, not something that is for more significant use in camping. Because it is light weight, you can carry it.

I bought this little stove after reading and watching a number of reviews and was pretty excited to try it out. You can't beat the size, being only a bit larger than a deck of cards. However, as I was waiting for it to arrive I started to find a number of youtube videos and blogs about the "hexamine" tablets it comes with and the toxicity of using them (ie they give off formaldehyde and can contaminate your food and they smell so bad you can't store them in your pack, even sealed in a bag). This confused me because the company advertises the fuel tablets as odorless, smokeless and non-toxic, which is why I bought this stove and two extra boxes of fuel tablets.When the box arrived, before even opening it I checked for the odor people talked about (since they said it can be detected even when completely sealed)- there was no odor. Even when I opened the box, no odor. Pretty happy, I tried it out wanting to see how long it would take to cook my coffee in a mocha pot. I used three tablets and it cooked the coffee in 4 1/2 minutes, even using cool water on a cool night. Pretty impressive. The tablets continued to burn with a decent flame for 8 minutes and dissipated after 9 as mentioned on the box. It was really sturdy and opened fully, accommodates a frying pan nicely. Next time I would only use two tablets, because the tablets give off a lot of heat and the stove design allows for maximum use of the heat. I loved it. And, best of all, there was no odor at all. Other reviewers also mentioned a nasty sticky residue it leaves on your cook wear which concerned me. Once I drank my delicious brew, I cleaned the mocha pot- which was black on the bottom from this use. It wasn't sticky at all and cleaned up really easy.I love this little stove and sure, it has it's time and place for use. That is what it is designed for after all. I bought it as a back up to my other stoves I have and to take with me on winter day hikes for a quick heat up of some hot soup and fresh coffee in the bush. I think the price of the extra tables, especially as an amazon add on, can't be beat.It is easy to see why, with products like this, it can become addictive adding new stoves and cookware to your kit lolI highly recommend this little stove and look forward to experimenting cooking lunch and breakfast on it.

Serves the purpose, which is use as light weight stove for camping or emergencies. Light for BOB, would say it's OK.

da chiuso è compattissimo, si apre con semplicità, ed al suo interno custodisce 24 pastiglie di combustibile solido, e rimane ancora un poco di spazio per inserire qualche altra esca per il fuoco, io ci ho messo del cotone.Da aperto ha due posizioni di bloccaggio, quella intermedia non è solidissima, ma bisogna tenere conto che si rivolge a piccoli utensili da cottura, caffettiere, tazze e pentolini piccoli, poco pesanti quindi, che sorregge senza infamia e senza lode. Alla massima apertura ne beneficia la solidità e le pentole più larghe (e pesanti) trovano il loro posto.Tenete presente che si tratta di un fornello di emergenza, per una o due persone, non è indicato per cucinare per una comitiva.Il metallo di cui è fabbricato non è molto spesso, a beneficio del peso, e della possibilità di raffreddarsi rapidamente, ma è comunque commisurato in funzione dello scopo per cui è stato concepito
