Absolutely, if you find something that works for you by all means use it. My main concerns are ease of carry (lightweight) and durability. Many of the old-time stoves more than make up the excess weight in terms of them being built like tanks. That's something to consider. Jim,

Not lightweight in the least, it'll heat a quart of water in a couple minutes at zero degrees, has two moving parts easily replaceable and comes with its own carrying tin. Next best, IMO- and when I was first shopping for them- is the Svea 123, which is a bit more light-weight, and the reason I rejected it. In my mind, the best aspect of these two stoves is their ability to burn almost anything you can trap, really do last 'forever', and burn hot. One gallon of gasoline will last longer than ten bottles of LP, weigh less and can be reused as the container for more siphoned/purchased fuel. Laughed at by many "pro's" is the Coleman dual-fuel stove- mostly due to its weight- but here agian is a camp stove worth considering, IMO. Not to knock the 'cleanliness' and efficiency of 'modern' stoves, but one wouldn't go wrong testing or examining a few of the 'older' technologies.

I like the compactness of that stove. It would be an easy fit in any backpack. Bob,
