About Solo Stove Lite Portable Camping Hiking Survival Backpacking Stove
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
79% impressed by the boil time, but 21% found it slower
Boiling water with this product takes around 6-8 minutes, whether using wood or Trangia (alcohol stove).
My boil time is a bit longer than some, especially on higher camp trips. However, I am still pleased overall.
It took exactly 6 minutes and 45 seconds for me to come to a rolling boil.
If I pay attention, I can get a 5-minute boil time by filling the stove with twigs.

81% praised the flame control, while 19% struggled
I find that the stove is easy to keep a flame going and can make a 10 inch tall flame. It's also nearly impossible to accidentally kill the flame.
I have noticed that the flame of this stove is almost smoke-free, very solid and unwavering, and it boils water surprisingly quickly.
This stove is nearly impossible to put out accidentally due to the air flow coming through the holes in the bottom.

I appreciate how easily the product can be taken apart for transportation and stored inside itself, yet it is still very stable when supporting single pots and pans.
80% appreciated the wind resistance
The stove can withstand wind that would blow out other stoves and improves the fire with air flow.
I like this stove better because it mitigates a lot of the effects of the wind.
The fire started easily without any problems from the wind, even though it was a bit breezy. I didn't need an external wind shield.
This stove is wind resistant and burns better with air flow compared to other stoves that would have been blown out by the wind.
