APG Portable Camping Stove Oil/Gas Multi-Use Gasoline Stove 1000ml Picnic Cooker Hiking Equipment

I’m homeless and I’d like to tell you I use this stove every day and unfortunately recently the only problem I’ve had with it is unscrewing it from a fuel bottle I accidentally broke the pump away from the fuel line attachment, so I’m hoping these folks have a replacement part for me we’ll see it does kick butt at this price I’ll guarantee that

So, this just arrived in the post today and figured that I would give it a go. Firstly the instructions are near useless, however if you have some common sense then it wont be an issue. I set it up and used standard unleaded gas. I filled it up about half way and screwed on the pump. I gave it about 20 pumps and opened the little silver value and some feul shot up into the holding cup and what appears to be a white ceremic cloth at the bottom of the stove. I then lit the cup and waited for it to nearly burn down then I opened the valve and we were in business, I would recommend that you fire this thing up someplace where you dont have to worry about some singe. It did do a fair amount of sputtering which continued untill I shut it down about 10 minutes later (The sputtering did slow after it ran for about 5 minutes but still continued). In addition this bugger is loud but ive been told to expect this so was not a big deal. I then grabbed a pot and filled it with some water and put in on to boil. It boiled very quickly and I was able to turn it down to simmer but the valve plus the variability in pressure and how it vaporizes in the tube makes it a bit of a fiddly process and if you were going to simmer something for long you might have to keep a close eye on it. I pulled the water off and waited for it to cool some and i tested it for a smell and taste of feul and there was none, the bottom of the pot however had soot so clean off your items before pack them away in your rucksack. 5 star for heat output, 3 star for weight as it can be heavy especially with the bottle topped off, and 2 stars for ease to use mostly cause of crap instructions. Consitering its about half the price of other stoves like it not a bad buy at all. This was only the first use and we will see how it makes it through the summer and following winter.

LIKE THE MULTI FUEL FUNCTIONALITY.

The media could not be loaded. It was a bit breezy out when I test this unit with the three fuels. First was with propane with an adapter, which it started easy and worked well. Alcohol free petrol isn't a fuel I'd use in this as it doesn't burn as clean, an sputters even when it get's up to operating temperature. White gas burns cleaner and has a minor sputter until it get up to operating temperature with a couple spits. For half the price of a couple of well known reputable stoves, thus I will say it's well worth the $60 USD at the time. I wanted another stove as I have a full size to burner white gas stove, as well as a small micro-stove that uses isobutane or propane.

The stove built very solid, maybe not as super high quality as MSR but very decent to my thinking. it work like MSR dragonfly with all around feature. For a half of the price, i don't think any other brand can offer that solid piece.

it works as you would expect. takes a little getting used to to get it to light without a big flame but once you figure that out,,it is not to bad. i use it on my boat to take the chill off and it works great. the flame is adjustable from very hot to just a little it would be nice if the hose was a bit longer and if it had a quick disconect as when you remove the hose from the tank it will leak some fuel. overall it is a pretty decent stove for the price.

First off, I've used a MSR Whisperlight many times but lost it and so bought this as a replacement. I only gave 4 stars as it's slow to perform.The instructions are near useless and prior experience with white gasoline stoves has helped. I suggest using Coleman Camp Fuel rather than diesel as suggested in the "instructions ".I discovered the fuel bottle should be about 1/2 full for best performance.Setup the stove according to the picture in the instructions. Pump the bottle about 15 to 20 times prior to lighting. I add about 1/3 tsp of fuel manually rather than opening the fuel valve for priming as the later let's out too much. Light the priming bowl, stand back and let it burn. This process requires about 4 to 5 minutes. When the flame gets really small, gradually open the fuel valve and adjust the flame. It sputters for another minute or two and at this point, repressurize the fuel bottle. Readjust the flame. It will continue to sputter. After a 5 minute or so burn, the stove is ready for use.The burner gets red hot and produces lots of heat. It's more fiddly than a MSR stove but if you take your time with it, it's a decent little stove.The hinged wind shield that comes with it is superior to the flexible foil shield on the MSR.

This product does work,but it's no where near 5 star quality.When you light it, the product will turn into a flaming ball so be careful. After it produces enough heat to atomize the fuel, it will produce a nice hot flame, but it will run rich (black smoke) and flame on and off on low.The instructions are writen in a broken English and are difficult to understand.The fuel can quality is low. The primer pump will want to cross thread. I also popped the bottom of the can out when cooking. This was my mistake as I continued to prime to try to solve the flame out issue discussed above.Again, this product does work but not at the quality it is being advertised at. It is basically a dropshipped product out of china with quality control issues. If you want quality shop elsewhere.
