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 quick. Maybe the pots aren't very big, but they're more than enough for one person, and the compact folding method means it takes up little space in a backpack.
A compact hiking kit that includes a pot crafted from anodized aluminum, a spirit burner, and a solid fuel base. The lightweight yet durable construction of this set is attributed to its materials. Aluminum is a remarkable heat conductor, which reduces the time needed to boil or heat the pot's contents compared to other materials.
The pot's attached handles are collapsible, effectively reducing the space required for packing. The pot is also equipped with a shatter-resistant embossed measuring cup for precise content measurement. The cover aids in faster boiling and long-lasting heat retention, and its handle allows for easy application or removal using a tool like a multitool when hot.
.
The fuel base, which doubles as a heat shield during combustion, conveniently fits inside the pot, further optimizing space in your gear.

Overall, a very good set, solid and lightweight. A big advantage is the ability to use both solid and liquid fuel. It works without any problems with spirit, 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 properly boiling 985 ml of water, I could give half a kingdom, ready for action! I checked everything carefully in the description and photos before purchase, so I knew what to expect.

I use this set during longer forest trips with liquid fuel. It is compact and lightweight. I had no problem fitting a folding cup inside. The product is very well-made, and the set also includes a tray for solid fuel cubes. The burner quickly heats water and food. The only unnecessary addition is the flame control element, which in my opinion does not work well, so I don't use it. I recommend this set!

I have used this product several times. It is a good product that's easy to clean.

I tested the stove in the Polish mountains and the burner itself in the Alps. It works great, operating on both IPA and spirit. The burner is very light and can easily be packed with fuel into carry-on luggage. I honestly recommend it!
-
The stove is definitely worth recommending, it is very light and does not fail in any conditions.

I have two of these sets, I've been using the first one for over a year now. Very convenient, solid, and light. It works best with strong denatured alcohol, and it's not worth over-cleaning the soot to avoid damaging the coating. Great for colder days. You need to be careful when screwing the burner cap on so it doesn't melt. It's better to pour the fuel into a bottle when the burner is not in use. A full burner is enough to boil water several times. One of the best sets of this type, I definitely recommend it.
