Nice little stove
Scroll to the bottom for TL:DR summaryBackgroundI really like this little stove. I had been using an AOTU stove https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NJYV3NP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and that stove has worked well for me, but I wanted something a little smaller. I was considering the BRS titanium stove, but I read a few reviews that said the arms that hold up the pot were getting too hot and then melting, and that's when I stumbled across this desert fox stove. I also own an original MSR pocket rocket stove, just so you know what my reference points are. I use these stoves with the Toaks 750mL titanium cook pot.ConstructionIt seems to be well made. It's definitely more solid than the AOTU I was using. It fits my little pot perfectly, and is as stable as it can be for what it is. I have not tried it with a larger pot, so I can't say it would work well for that or not, but it's perfect for what I am doing.CookingI have only been using this stove to boil water for freeze dried meals, but it seems like it wouldn't be too bad for preparing food directly in the pot. I mention this, because my other little AOTU stove is not great to cook with because it doesn't have a large adjustment range, and the heat concentrates in the center which burns the food and makes it stick to the bottom. The desert fox might do that too, but I haven't tested that yet. It does have a wider range of adjustment for the flame size though. When I turn it up all the way it is a little too much, because it heats up the handles of my pot, so I like to have it at about 80% so I don't burn my fingers, but that's just for the toaks pot I am using. I have only been using it to boil water up to this point, and it does that well. I am pleased with my purchase, and I will be using this stove as my EDC.Summary:Pros: Cheap, lightweight, compact, sturdy, wide adjustment range, well madeCons: May not be ideal for larger pots

It works, but bigger is better
Nothing wrong with this little unit. Although tiny and light, it does have a drawback. The arms that form the triangle base that a pot sits on are just a little too small for my pot. This left something to be desired for stability of the pot. Your pot may feel more stable than mine on this burner, but I think it is worth the extra grams to get something a little bigger for peace of mind.

Awesome little $10 canister stove
I bought this stove on a whim and immediately function tested it when it arrived. Everything tested fine: screwing the stove onto the canister did not leak more than a normal amount of fuel, no fuel leakage was detected after the stove was tight, the regulator knob turned the gas on and off just fine, etc. I successfully boiled 2 cups of water with it inside on my kitchen table with no issues. For $10, I'm impressed.The stove weighs in at 50g according to my kitchen scale and the little black bag weighs in at 3g. For reference, the classic MSR pocket rocket weighs in at 86g. I don't own an MSR Pocket Rocket 2 (more compact model), but the official listed weight is 73g. I also don't own a BRS 3000T, but online sources suggest they weigh in between 25-28g. This thing is lightweight, but definitely not "stupid light" when compared to the BRS 3000T.This stove is $10. That's the lowest cost stove I've seen yet. I'm almost certain they will wait for people to buy it, review it, popularize it, and then they'll jack up the price a bit.The real advantage to me, besides the low weight and low cost, is the size. This thing would easily stow inside of my Toaks 550ml cup with a small 4oz fuel canister. I love having the compact package of my whole cooking kit all nested inside of the one cup.Chances are this isn't your first stove. You've got another that works just fine, but this one caught your eye. Do you absolutely NEED it? No... But it's $10 and it works. That's cheap enough to loan to a friend or to buy one for each pot.

A great stove
I am on my third stove. I gave the other two away as gifts. They are very tiny which makes them perfect for ultralight camping . They fit with room to spare in your Toaks with the canister and lighter in it. They’re very reliable. I had a previous stove that cost 5 times as much and after about 6 months the o ring started to leak. That has never happened with one of these. A great stove.

Great stove
The media could not be loaded. I have all sorts of the expensive backpacking stoves, you name them MSR, JetBoil, etc. But this stove has become my go-to. It’s tiny, it has a really good BTU and efficiency somehow. I have used this stove for a couple years and it has not failed on me. I probably have 20+ trips with this stove and it’s been solid. It doesn’t not have an igniter so being a lighter. Combined with a titanium pot and it boils super fast. Plus, it’s inexpensive! I keep one in every vehicle I have with a small canister of butane : propane mix.
