Solid, durable, good burner, sand clogs igniter
I bought the Windmaster after my two attempts with the Pocket Rocket Deluxe failed. The pot-supports on the Pocket Rocket Deluxe are very flimsy and come pre-bent (not in a good way).
My experience with the Windmaster has been much better. The supports are durable and gigantic, I have been using a huge pot on this stove with no stability issues. The burner is not as powerful as the PRD but I think for now I’m willing to give up that power for far superior quality and durability. Sand has clogged the igniter, and I don’t know if it’s possible to unclog, but I don’t think that’s a design flaw as sand has clogged every igniter i’ve had.
Highly Recommended.
