The stove works great for both short and long trips to the forest. It's good that you can use two types of fuel. The thoughtful design makes cooking on it fast. The pots might not be very big, but for one person's needs they're perfectly sufficient, and the compact folding method means it takes up little space in the backpack.
A compact hiking kit consisting of a pot made of anodized aluminum, a spirit burner and a solid fuel base. The material from which the set is made determines its low weight and high strength. Aluminum also proves to be an excellent conductor of heat, thanks to which it will take less time to boil/heat the contents of the pot than if other materials were used.
The handles attached to the pot are collapsible, which has a real impact on minimizing the space taken up in the equipment. There is also a shatterproof embossed measuring cup on the pot, allowing precise dispensing of the contents. Maintaining the temperature for a long time, but above all boiling faster is facilitated by the cover, which, thanks to the handle, can be freely applied or removed via, for example, a multitool (when it is warmed up).

The fuel base, which is also a shield for the heat generated by combustion, fits freely into the pot, thus saving even more space in the outfit.

Overall, a very good set, solid and lightweight. A big advantage is the ability to use both solid and liquid fuel. It works fine with spirits, IPA and hexamine, although it's better for heating than for cooking.
-
The burner, stand, and pot deserve 5 stars, tested at around 0°C. For cooking 985 ml of water well, I’d give half a kingdom—ready for action! I checked everything carefully in the description and photos before buying, so I knew what to expect.

I use this set on longer trips to the forest with liquid fuel. It’s compact and light. I had no trouble fitting a folding cup inside. The product is very well made, and the set also includes a stand for fuel tablets. The burner heats water and food quickly. The only unnecessary addition is the flame adjustment element, which in my opinion does not work well, so I do not use it. I recommend this set!

I have used this product several times. It is a good, easy-to-clean product.

I tested the stove in the Polish mountains, and the burner itself in the Alps. It performs excellently, working both with IPA and spirits. The burner is very light and can be packed with fuel into carry-on luggage without any problem. I honestly recommend it!

The stove is definitely worth recommending, it's very light and doesn't let you down in any conditions.

I have two such sets, the first I've been using for over a year now. Very comfortable, solid and light. It works best with strong denatured alcohol, and it's not worth over-cleaning the soot lest you damage the coating. Excellent for colder days. Be careful when screwing on the burner lid so as not to melt it. It’s better to pour the fuel into a bottle when the burner is not in use. A full burner is enough for several boils. One of the best sets of this type, I definitely recommend it.
