was able to try out our new stove this weekend and i have to say i was impressed, it's not the lightest weight but given it's size and 3 burners i wasn't expecting that or even caring as we are using it for our small flagstaff e-pro 12rkthe overall construction is the stove is good and it "feels solid" the 2 locking hasps on the front are spring loaded which ensures they stay closed when they are supposed to and they stay our of your way when the stove is open, seems like a small thing but is a very nice touchthe wind blockers on the side take a bit to get attached to the lid properly but we are talking about 3 different part of sheet metal and a bit of fiddle factor is to be expectednow on the main reason a person gets a stove, the burners and their abilities, this stove puts out some heat! it boiled 8 cups of water in no time and that was with the burner only at about half, it also fried up some sausage and eggs with the ability to do it on low temperature as to cook the sausage all the way through without burning them at all, i have yet to do a long half hour simmer but given what i have seen i don't think it will be any problem at allall 3 of the burners lit easily, the 2 outside burners you can see the piezo starter, on the center burner i thought maybe you had to use a match or something since you can't see the starter but i turned the gas on and turned the igniter and it fired right up, obviously it is below the burner and just not visiblethere is one thing that is minor but seems a bit counter intuitive to the stove you turn the burners to the left to start the gas but the piezo ingniton to the right, the first time i went to start the stove i wanted to turn the starter to the left also, just seems a bit backyard, there are arrows on the started telling you what direction to turn it though for me it would be nice it they all turned the same directionone other thing i really like and looking at the pictures i couldn't really tell how it worked was the grate your pots and pans sit on, i hoped that they would be 3 separate grates but looking at the pics i thought it would be 1 solid grate, luckily i was wrong and they are 3 separate pieces which makes cleaning it very easy and i can see some application where being able to remove just one will be helpfuli did buy the flexible gas line hose for it, the table it sits on hangs off the side of our camper and the solid line that comes with it faces the rear and would cause the front of the stove to hang off our small table which wouldn't work, the flexible hose allow you to put your 1lb propane tank where everoverall i am very happy with this stove and wouldn't hesitate to tell and friends or family to buy the same one5 YEAR UPDATE : this stove is still going strong as our camping stove, have not had one single problem with it, burners still work the same as new, the piezo ignition still works like new, fires on first click almost every single time and the stove on the outside still looks like new, inside looks like a used stove but after it's yearly deep clean it looks new againafter 5 years i really don't have one complaint at all with this stove, and if it ever stops working i would buy another to replace it immediately
