Check out this howto on making your own Penny Stove for your next camping trip instead of buying one from Wal-mart. It is as powerful as stove top burners!
The Penny jets produce a flame size about the same as those on a Viking stovetop. Obviously Viking thinks that big jets must be an effective way to burn gas and transfer heat to a pot and my tests confirm this. They are also less affected by wind, pot distance, altitude and the dirt that accompanies all backpacking trips.

cool… but i know a better fuel… lucas oil additive…(alot compared to the other…) and heet… it klasts for a long time…
already have one, but nice , looks attractive too
definately works, i’ve used mine over 20 times, cooks food fast and effectively, put stove in a hole in the ground and dig some airflow paths in/out. then put pan on ground over stove. (tent stakes work well for a ‘grill’
