I purchased this stove two years ago. I have six different stoves for a variety of conditions and for both white gas and butain. White gas is my preferred fuel for winter activity.
I am very disappointed in this stove. I have not been able to light the stove without the entire works being engulfed in flame; something that the manual says only happens if something is wrong. I tried to work with coleman's help center. The person who I worked with tried to help by sending me a tech note on priming, but this did not work. I tried to work with them again, and did not get the help I was hoping for. The main problem is fuel pooling in the bottom of the stove, in the little pan below the fuel line entering the main stove body. It has never started up the way they describe in the manual.
I did not purchase the stove through backcountry.com. This is important to note, because I may have been able to return the stove. I was stubborn, in any event, because I wanted this stove to work. My favorite winter stove is my Coleman peak 1 which I purchased in 1992. I've never had to repair anything and it still works great. Its just very heavy compared to some of the new stoves.
