This is a VERY useful assembly to have! I'm amazed at how good it is at boiling water :) I used this in conjunction with a soda can stove that can be stored inbetween the bottle and the cup, which adds definite bonus points to this thing. The windscreen is quite effective at providing a good space for my alcohol stove and I noticed it burns much hotter and faster when inside the assembly. I haven't used it for wood and twigs like a hobo stove yet but I'm sure that's viable. Plus it fits well inside my Condor bailout bag sidepockets, owing to its size. I also like how the cup is on the top so that it can be taken out much more readily. As for the bottle? When I'm not boiling tea with the assembly, the stove portion provides a nice little "holster" for the bottle, allowing me to just grab and go if need be :D. I don't give five stars because I just got them back from the dishwasher and to my utter dismay it was discolored brown (I later found that this is normal behavior for Aluminum) :(. Well, at least it's got character now but I'm worried about the insides...Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Like this so much I bought another one. Love the simple design and functionality. Used it at a tailgate, everyone there was impressed and wants one. Buy it before they run out, these are getting harder to find.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Great stove for the price. I liked it so much, just ordered another one for my son. This stove is the best for your money that I have found. My first stove came packaged well and had very little signs of use, no major scratches and no dents.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

I like it but I had a few problems. Mine looked like the definition of the word new. It had large dents that looked like it was done with a flathead screw diver which I had to take out also extemely dirty when I got it. Also came without the cork cap but whatever, I blame chkadels that. Other wise it's very useful and practical.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

Had it for a couple of months before we used it. It was so nice and easy to pour a can of soup in afunnel makes it easier) then light a couple of cubes. It takes no time to heat the soup to the proper temp. have fun.Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

This works GREAT. Well made and mine looked new. Love the engineering and it stores/unloads fast. I use it on primitive camping (have an RV and often high-end it); perfect for the survivalist. Buy it.
