>>939224>These stick stoves look so unnecessary complicated to usehow so? it's 2 parts ( 3 if you inc the kettle cap which is chained to the body) you just light a fire in the bowl and away it goes.
I'll be honest I had always looked at the sideways until a fishing trip one damp autumn evening a few years back and a buddy of mine popped one out and made coffee for 4 of us with bits of cardboard we found lying around in about 7 or 8 minutes. The amount of fuel you don't go though is nuts- To get a litre of water on an open fire you'd need easily 10x as much fuel and a lot longer
It is what it is- a kettle, and in all honestly it gives my Jetboil a fair run for it's money when it comes to speed. You can use them to cook on to a point (I use the base of mine to contain a nice bed of embers to cook over - they don't spread and keep the heat focused)
If you want something to spend a lazy day fishing with burning any dry bits of well, anything you can find to get a boil on, pack one of these if you want a utilitarian stove needing dedicated fuel you have to bring with you look elsewhere
