I have one and after a few uses bought another for a good friend.
They work great
He just got back from NM and used it every day at 6000-900 ft. One night he used sage brush in a rain.

Speaking of the ones that only require indigenous fuel, I love my Sierra ZZ.

For me, its a great option for trips that I want the beauty and sound of a crackling fire along with the freedom from packing fuel, but still want to cook on a stove. Also is great in areas where fires may not be allowed on the ground. I use the cross grate with mine, but not their windscreen or pot. I did modify a MSR windscreen to work with it.

What a very nice way to call me old. You Bast. . .

Keep it up, Mr "This-year,-I'm-retiring-for-the-second-time-from-my-second-career". I know where you live and I have beer. (And I'm not afraid to drink it with you.)
