Nice little light weight stove, easy to use but you do need a windscreen. It takes about 8 minutes to boil 4 cups of water using HEET, which is not bad for an alcohol stove. Most people will only be boiling 2 cups at a time so you do the math.

I bought this specifically for the burner as I had been using a very similar set with an 'off-brand' burner and I wondered what the difference was. Like the other set, the windshield is tragically problematic. It's just slightly too small for me to use any of my small camping pots on. With my larger pots, it seemed like the flames coming off the trangia in this setup were unusually high and various twigs and things on the ground were getting scorched. I think the open configuration let too much oxygen into the combustion in even a light breeze. It works, but it's worrisome. The burner itself is great, especially when used in a Clikstand or a full-sized Trangia cook set. For a solo hiker, I like using it with thenbsp; Esbit folding wind screen nbsp;and a 1L kettle. That's enough water to rehydrate a meal and have a warm drink afterwards.
