I have had one of these for 10 plus years. I use it when I camp alone as I tend to make one pot or pan meals and it has never failed me. I purchased a second one that we could use for emergencies (power outages etc.).  Remember to only use in a well ventilated area.  Stand is plenty stable with a 16.4 oz. disposable propane bottle and I have had no problems with a 10 inch fry pan or 4 quart pot.  Puts out plenty of heat (10,000 BTU burner) so no issue there. I have used it in some pretty windy conditions and the flame can get blown around and affect cooking and boiling times. This is not a backpackers stove, a little too heavy and the propane bottles add even more weight.  But its durability, simplicity and quality works for me.
Added Comments:
after camping with this newer version. This one is not the same quality stove . It is nearly impossible to adjust the flame the older version I really liked, was a great single burner and all my positive comments apply but the newer ones are only good for boiling water and I am adjusting my review accordingly
