>>1879321Its wayyyy more efficient as it directs the heat upwards, some places don’t allow open fires this is a way around that, it’s 6 oz compared to 13-17 oz for stove and gas, it packs flat, it’s nice to have a small fire to keep bugs away, cooking on an open fire is gonna require a pair of leather gloves to grab it, it will be difficult to stir. Besides cold soaking this is the lightest/quickest method. It boils just as fast as a fuel canisters and stove. All you need is one dead branch. Its the best of all worlds imo
