| One of the
backpacking stoves that I own in the Microlite from Max Burton, this is
one of the absolute best stoves that I've had the pleasure to use. When
I first got it I wasn't sure that I would really like it all that much
because that burner is small and doesn't have much of
a spread to it. Even after I used it the first time I still thought
that the burner should be a little bigger and that it was putting way
to much heat at the center of the pot so I didn't think that it was
effecivly brining it to a boil. |

As I used it more
and more I realized
that it wasn't a drawback at all and that is was in fact an asset
because you can use smaller pots without losing the flame off to the
sides. I will bring a pint of
water to a full rolling boil in about 3 minutes (my house is at
4400ft), just the right amount
for a Mountain House freeze dried meal. One of my favorite
things mealabout the Microlite is that it folds down to a nice small
package that is easier to transport than some of the other stoves that
I've used before.

As with all of these types of stoves, the fuel that is used is a
mixture of propane and iso butane, the addition of the butane is so
that even when it's cold you get a consistant flame that will still
boil water or melt snow quickly, if it was pure propane it wouldn't
work as well when it's cold out.
