"I have used this stove when car-camping in the Panama City, Florida area and in the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska area. This is my first stove with a Piezo igniter, and it lit simply and quickly each time. Boiling times are fast--probably within a minute (at sea level) for 16 oz and a few minutes for 24 oz. …" Read Full Review »
