“Hello The stove arrived exactly as described, slightly bigger than I thought, very well made. Unfortunately the pump mechanism was broken, this is no fault on the company because the stove has a seal so the company weren't able to test it prior to despatch. The company refunded the full purchase price and the return postage, excellent customer service. Thank you John”

“The stove arrived in very good condition, it looks like it was never used. Some minor adjustment (grease and tighten the pump washer) was required to get it working but it functions perfectly, and it comes with a detailed instruction manual written in German, French and Italian. It is very well built and we expect it will last a long time. It puts out a lot of heat and I have no doubt you could cook a very large meal on this with no problem. Getting it to simmer requires some finesse but it is possible, it is not built for cooking small meals. We will use this for large group cooking on our expedition. I would not recommend lighting it in a tent or confined space as it temporarily produces quite a large flame while the burners are preheating. The only downside is the lack of information I could find on it before buying and the postage is quite expensive, I could have driven there and picked it up for much less. I look forward to using this stove.”
