Customers are mixed about the size of the camping stove. Some mention that it's small, compact, and easy to use. They say it'll be great for camping and fits perfectly inside an asparagus steamer.

Neat idea, but too much hassle to be worth it for serious backpackers.

Neat idea, but too much hassle to be worth it for serious backpackers.
My boyfriend and I have been working our way up to backpacking and the cooking setup was one of the last purchases to make. I received it on Sat, charged the battery pack, and tested it over a few days at a cabin with various foods. Here's my thoughts after using it to cook marshmallows, couscous, burgers, veggie kabobs, and chicken thighs (then more marshmallows). It lights up to a REALLY hot fire in a matter of minutes, if started properly with tiny twigs and slowly adding in finger-sized twigs until the pot was full. It boiled two cups of water in less than 4 minutes. The hot fire and small stick size means you're adding more fuel every couple of minutes. This was not a problem for water boiling as I could quickly lift the pot, drop the sticks, and put the pot back down. For cooking the two thick burger patties on the grill attachment, it was more of a hassle (in addition to lots of flipping and moving around to deal with hot spots), but between the two of us we got two medium rare burgers cooked. The smoke is because the sticks around our cabin had a lot of light mossy spots. On the second day I used a full pot of wood pellets instead of the twigs. That went MUCH better. It was easier to light and had a steady burn, and lasted for more than 25 minutes. I cooked chunk vegetables and then chicken thighs (microwaved first to ensure doneness), and there was still enough flame to do a marshmallow. The fire kept going while we ate.So here's my thought: it's a neat idea, a stove that doesn't require carrying fuel because you can pick it up at the site, but it works a lot better with premade fuel that you'd have to carry. I'll keep using it because I already bought and dirtied it up, but I would not recommend buying it to anyone else who was looking. I think if you're backpacking, you don't need to struggle with your food after a long day of hiking. Maybe if you were ONLY boiling water for dehyrated food, and used small amounts of pellets for about a 6 minute flame, it would be fine to justify the weight of the pellets in your pack. My next experiment will be to see how well it works without the fan attachment, maybe with the occasional blowing into that vent. That lightens the load considerably and would make up for the need to carry pellets.In any case, stick with the tried and true camp stoves that attach to the gas or liquid fuel. The BioLite will remain a novelty item for driveway gatherings needing a fire pit, short car camping trips when you don't want the time consuming charcoal setup, and maybe backpacking trips of just a couple days in a dry wood area.
