I suppose burning anything you could come with what works best at your working altitude though.
being able to pick your fuel type is pretty cool
high elevations you can use certain fuel that wont solidify and lower ones you can burn anything you want
there are also kits to buy that allow different types of canisters to attach, so it can be pressurized or just a bottle
i havent ever had it above probably 3500 ft, but my brother took it to colorado and took it onto 7000+ no problem at all running white gas
the shitty part is its a little tripod stand kind of setup, so unlevel ground blows, and it takes a little know how to get it going and burn consistently
the most recent time it was used was at the 3 day DMB concert, where my friends had an rv, but we used my little stove since it was way easier
beerbrats with that thing and costco brats and beast ice beer were amazing, and only took like 3 minutes to cook
it will back in use when i do the rogue river trail again in a few months, then possibly a 4 day sisters area hike at the end of summer, not sure exactly where yet though
