I bought this thing a while ago for a really long hike, like that it had a built in pot stand. The problem was that it didn't generate enough heat to boil 1.5 liters of water. If you need to boil largish amounts of water I would recommend going with something like a caldera cone.

ahwagonerAbsolutely. The Caldera is excellent since it offers stability, wind protection, efficiency, low weight, low cost, and even wood-burning capability in the titanium version of you forego the low cost.
The Vargo stove is simply outdated tech.

Another_Overpriced_DropCaldera Ti-Tri is great . . . but much larger and $80 plus $9 shipping. This stove 1/4 that price, more compact and lighter. You're comparing apples to a bag of bananas.
The Vargo Triad is tailored specifically to people who only want/need to burn alcohol. I can make or buy a windshield later IF I need it, or just use my foam sit pad to block the wind.
And yes, one could make an alcohol stove for a few dollars and not too much time. But this one is simple, clean, functional and indestructible.

PatCYou missed the point of what I said. The Caldera I was making comparison to is $35.
The Ti-Tri was mentioned simply as a sidenote for those unaware of wood-burning potential. It was not the core content of my reply...
