Sterno Outdoor Folding Camp Stove Outdoor Folding Camp Stove, Outdoor Folding Camp Stove, Assorted

Yes, you can boil water, unlike other reviewers claim. Use the correct sized cans, and COVER the pot. And use a reasonable amount of water. Typically you would be boiling 8 - 12 oz of water. It does take time, remember that Sterno heat output is "slower" due to small flame size, and your pot is constantly losing heat, so a lid is important.I tested this just to prove a point. On my fireplace mantel, at ambient 75F, I put 20 oz of 70F water in a 3 qt stainless pot with a glass lid. I used a 6.1 oz Sterno Green Outdoor can.Result: It reached 175F at 20 minutes, and was at a full boil after 27 minutes. After it had been boiling for 10 full minutes, I extinguished the flame. Doing the math, I had used a little over 1/4 of the Sterno can; visually it looks about 1/4 used too.Obviously this would be different in colder temperatures, or with wind, or if you started with snow instead of water, etc. Also, you don't need to actually boil water. Boiling is a useful event because you know the approximate temperature without a thermometer, but if your water is 210F, and it's not boiling... who cares. 210 degree water is 210 degree water.This Sterno stove is good quality, with fairly stiff aluminum panels, and steel grates. There is a light oil coating as others mentioned; the stove should be washed in hot soapy water to remove the oil. I would not call this a "backpacking stove" because it is a bit large even when folded, and not on the extreme end of the light-weight scale. But for most other uses, it's great.This is meant to hold the larger cans, like the 7oz or 6.1oz "green" can. The smaller 2oz cans won't do much.

Sturdy item ,it will work out well when needed.

El otro día me eché con los chambeadores, unos huevitos en la obra.Utilicé una lata de "fuego envasado" que me costó aprox $15 y dura prendido entre 2/3 horas.También admitiria un hornillo de alcohol , pero habría que hacerle una base más alta. (Oudiera ser con la misma lata de "fuego envasado".Para emergencias o una salida de campo va genial ya que es muy ligero.

I bought this it’s melt butter at an oyster roast. It was very sturdy and easy to set up. It held a little pot with water and the butter. The stereo can (I used the green kind) boiled the water pretty quickly. It did feel a little greasy out of the box, but it didn’t impact the use once it was setup. Tear down was super easy and I didn’t notice the greasy feel.

Excelente opción y ligera y resistente, fácil de plegar, práctica para usar con las latas de alcohol, ligera para cargar y resiste los golpes y el agua, me la lleve al Nevado de Colima, la use varias veces y soporto todo muy bien!
