This stove is very reliable and easy to light but is pretty much only useful for boiling because its two settings are off or nuclear meltdown.  It is very difficult to set it to simmer to cook things like scrambled eggs or even bacon.  The knob sort of springs back in the direction that you had it set in last and to get it to simmer you have to turn it as low as you possibly can and hope it doesn't spring back too much.  I just ordered a dual fuel stove which should have a better simmering capability.
