This stove was a conversation piece on my recent section hike of the AT. It is lighter and far more compact than its cousins.
I would not burn wood in it again. It was a sooty mess afterwards. With no where in the woods to really wash your hands, I wasn't impressed. First place with running water, I took it in and cleaned it up.
Moved onto the Esbit tabs. It took one full size, 14 gram tab, the entire burn time to bring 22 ounces of freshly filtered stream water to a boilaveraging, 1,000-2,000 feet of altitude. If you're not in a hurry, this is fine, just do some other things. But you will be envious of the Jetboil folks who are cleaning up when your water starts boiling.
Keep it as an emergency stove I'd say. Great price!

shaggymattWhat's wrong with soot? They are pretty normal with open fires... just scrape em off with some foliage... you're not glamping are you ? =)
