I bought this for my weekend escapes. It is great to have coffee just 16 minutes after waking up, or rather after getting out of your sack. Easy to assemble even in restive darkness, easy temp control, and packs away in a little footprint in my camp box. Still need to get some lighter pots and pans for this, but it handles my 12 cup percolator like a champ and does not complain about the 10 inch cast iron skillet I put on it. I feel it will be a great addition, not only for my weekend camping trips, but for my SHTF  kit.
