Just got this stove through the post, I ordered the 4 ounce fuel bottle with it.
The stove is very, very light, and is simple to set up. It is probably best on a firm surface, as it stands on three legs. Once you've connected the fuel line, you gently squeeze the bottle to feed fuel into the flame.
It comes with a dropper type lid that can close, for transport of the bottle when not connected. I added a little fuel to the wick, which is a pad of dense felt material. Very simple to light, and the flame is almost invisible. I can get a tin can full of water bubbling in around 5 minutes. It seems to simmer at a low flame if you just leave it, but I would recommend applying slight pressure to the fuel bottle to increase the heat.
To summarise:
-Easy to workout and use
-Very lightweight, good for a BOB
-Discrete, almost invisible flame, even on "full blast"
-Doesn't dirty the pot, seemed to leave it cleaner that when I started (So you could sterilize a blade, needle or tweezers.)
-Seems to be very fuel efficient, only consumed a few milliliters of fuel whilst boiling a can of water.
-Fuel reservoir is about the size of a cardboard toilet paper tube.
Didn't like:
-Fireproof plastic becomes hot to the touch (though it dissipates in minutes, so it would be hard to pack away in a hurry
-The legs seem flimsy, though only time will tell.
