Great stove, eats batteries I received this stove as a gift in December. I like it a lot, but I don’t love it. I think there are some changes that the company could make that would make it a truly outstanding stove. I really enjoy using it for cooking. Gathering enough fuel to cook eggs and heat up beans and soups is quick and fun. The fan really does get a fire going quickly, and it’s even pretty easy to control the heat of the flame by adjusting the damper. It’s better than a Jetboil for frying eggs or making pancakes, because you can get a more even, gentle heat.I agree with those who don’t like the way the fuel box fits (or doesn’t fit) easily back into its compartment under the stove. I made a bag to carry the two parts separately so I don’t have to fuss with them. The bag would have been necessary anyway to keep the soot off the rest of my gear, and I’m happy with this solution.I hate the battery compartment with the flaming passion of a thousand fiery suns. It’s cheaply constructed…
