For those who might be interested in such a thing, I have reviewed this stove system; see below link. Basically, I really liked the system. It's more flexible than a tall, skinny Jetboil in terms of what you can cook, and you can use any cookware with the stove without any adapters or modifications. Like a Jetboil, you get fast boils and good fuel economy. The only serious negative in my opinion was the windscreen which really doesn't do much for you.

hikin_jimThanks for posting your review Jim. I, too, wasn't impressed with this particular Piezo unit (it seems clunky) but the rest of the stove was fine. The fuel knob seems old school style, but still works nicely and agreed that the pot supports hold wonderfully.
Did you happen to test out the Primus heat exchanger pot with other top-mount stoves? Could be an interesting combo that is lighter weight, efficient, and good for more than just boiling water.

DannyMilksDanny,
The piezo is OK but heavy, about 0.6 oz. I think a Soto piezo is like 0.1 or 0.2 oz. The part I really didn't like was the windscreen. I really don't think it's an effective design. They'd be better off scrapping it and reducing the cost of the stove system.

DannyMilksGood point about using the pot on other systems Danny. The price of the entire kit is actually pretty darn reasonable that it may make sense to buy it just for the heat-exhanger pot itself.
