This is one sweet little stove. It will run well on 1 oz of alcohol (as opposed to the 2 oz required to get my Vargo titanium joke going) and it weighs only about an ounce. It cost 8 bucks and makes me cringe when I think about what I have spent on stoves like my MSR Whisperlite and the Vargo and the Pocket Rocket (which is quite nice and I still use) and others. The fit and finish is quite nice as well.
Sweet...I have been considering getting a bottle rocket just to try out but right now am happy with the good old "super cat". I carry 2, one with the standard 2 rows of holes for quick boil and then if needed I can switch to other hole pattern one for a longer simmer time. Have fun with your new stove!

Well I happen to have a couple here in my Droid if I can figure out how. I know how to post them to fb.

Well, apparently I lack the skills to post a pic but the little stove is all over youtube.

Thanks for the thread. I've been uploading some videos from my 10 day Vermont walk. This was taken at the end. More videos will be up after I edit them.
