Perhaps I should explain. In addition to being a Tester of some years standing
with www.Backpackgeartest.org (BGT), I am
also an Owner Review Editor for BGT. In addition (and quite unrelated), I am
the Editor for Stoves and Cooking Systems
at Backpacking Light at www.backpackinglight.com.

As a result, I get to play with most of the liquid fuel, gas and alcohol stoves
currently on the market - I have a
substantial fraction of the entire range at home in fact. Fortunately, I did not
have to pay for them, and they don't
take a lot of storage space! My comments were made in the context of all the
testing and evaluation I have done. But
others will have different criteria for judging, and will come to different
conclusions.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
