I own 3 wood burning stoves for backpacking, all good quality and nothing made in China. This is by far the best quality of build and materials of the 3, and equals or betters any of the other 2 in absolutely any aspect of stove performance. I live in Colorado and got the largest Bushcooker stove even though I basically solo camp most of the time. It will boil water for a liter bottle and have spare for a meal or mug of tea. It will likewise melt snow as it is big enough to be practical for that. The weight is the same as my titanium cookset and gas stove minus the fuel cartridge--the gas cookset does have 2 pots though. At high altitude you have to simmer freeze dried meals a couple of minutes or you will have gastric disturbances (water boils at a lower temperature at 10,000 feet) and you have enough coals left after bringing things to the boil to do this gracefully, without heroic fire tending. A class act!
