Overall Feedback:
80% positive
70% impressed by the boil time, but 30% found it slower
It takes about 10 minutes to boil 30 to 40 Oz of water.
I can boil 3 liters of water in 7-8 minutes on the stove and it has good flames for another 4-5 minutes.
I achieved a rolling boil in about 6 minutes from starting the kindling to a great fire.
It took about 15 minutes to heat 3 quarts and an additional 10 minutes to heat the coffee pot water, totaling 6 quarts.

76% appreciated the durable construction, but 24% experienced issues
The product is made from a more durable material and the pot holder is very sturdy.
I am confident that the product will be durable and last forever.
I tested the stove's durability by banging a heavy skillet on it. The three tabs on the top never moved or showed any hint of bending under the beating.
The stove is safe to use with its sturdy, double-walled design and closed bottom, eliminating worries of burning material or scorching.

84% found it easy to use
I find the stove easy to light, fast to boil, and clean to use.
Cooking on the stove is easy, as I experienced.
Adding fuel while I burn solo is very easy.
The stove is easy to use and fun to operate. It quickly starts a fire, burns clean and hot, and requires little maintenance. It also uses small twigs, sticks, and pine cones as fuel.

87% praised the flame control, while 13% struggled
I suggest controlling the flames of the stove by starting it as advertised and then slowly feeding it twigs to keep the flames barely touching the bottom of the pan.
Having a flame from the stove is better than using a candle or flashlight, but it's not a complete substitute for a traditional campfire.
I'm not a fan of canister fuel, but with this larger model Solo Stove, I can leave the canisters at home.
Flame control is quick and it flares up pretty quickly if the fire is built properly.

84% liked the portable design, while 16% thought it was bulky
The stove is lightweight and comes with a black nylon drawstring bag.
The stove is lightweight despite its size as it is made of steel.
I purchased this product as a portable campfire for car camping in places that dont have a fire ring and discourage fires that leave scorch marks on the ground.
I will use this product in a popup camper for camping trips as it is too big for backpacking.
