Has anyone purchased the FeatherFire alcohol/ESBIT stove?
If so:
Pros?
Cons?

It looks like a very efficient and flexible use stove with flame control in BOTH alcohol and ESBIT use.
Plus the $29. price is right.

It's dimensions are 3" X 3" so it should fit inside most Ti cooking cups.

Thanks, Eric

I have one and I like it. The flame adjustment feature makes it possible to simmer, or to reduce the flame so that you can easily blow it out and then recover the fuel. I used it a couple times to make backcountry pancakes and didn't have to fuss with it at all while cooking. Some downsides are that the built in pot stand makes this unweildy to pack and that the actual boil time isn't what you'll get with a pressurized stove. More like 11-12 minutes for two cups of water in "nice weather". I no longer use this stove very much anymore. Instead I prefer the much smaller and lighter redbull stove. Packability is the key word here.
