Just took it out on a kayak trip up Black Canyon to the Hoover Dam and back. My buddy and I used it as our only cooking source. Bottom line: He bought one when he got back. I have the previous model, and the only complaint is the temp control, but it looks like this model has fixed that. I purchased the pot stabilizer and stand and use the stand every time for stability. Love to boil water, put in the Starbucks via, then pop on the lid and bottom and drink coffee in the morning.
