Review: QUALITY. Fuel lasts a long time, compact and easy to use. - I can’t even express how amazing this thing is. Fuel lasts a long long time. And it’s very very well made. It’s worth every penny. It’s pretty compact and easy to bring with you and it isn’t hard to use. It can use multiple types of fuel which is awesome. If I could give it more stars I would.
Review: This stove works perfectly well with all permitted fuels, ... - This stove works perfectly well with all permitted fuels, and it’s very strong, compact and lightweight. I use gas when possible and petroleum as a backup. The gas is completely trouble free, as you would expect. Liquid fuels burn extremely well, but are of course a little more involved than gas, but 20 pumps is all you need and they burn clean enough. If you get one of these, the QuietStove is a must, it makes the stove barely audible.

*by B***E on April 12, 2018*

This stove works perfectly well with all permitted fuels, and it’s very strong, compact and lightweight. I use gas when possible and petroleum as a backup. The gas is completely trouble free, as you would expect. Liquid fuels burn extremely well, but are of course a little more involved than gas, but 20 pumps is all you need and they burn clean enough. If you get one of these, the QuietStove is a must, it makes the stove barely audible.

### ⭐⭐ Better have a piezo starter
*by A***. on August 5, 2017*

This burns white gas / gasoline, kerosene / diesel, and propane / butane. The unit is absolutely rock solid, and gives the feeling that it is extremely dependable. For white gas, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel, it's fantastic. Like any kerosene and diesel fuel, it takes awhile to light cleanly (you can prime with alcohol, but you'll need to double-prime it). But for gasoline and white gas, it starts almost immediately. It doesn't have a generator, so converting from liquid to vapor happens at the jet. And that jet is an amazing invention: only one jet, and doesn't need to be changed out for the fuel being used - definitely a time saver in the field if you use different fuels. I only use white gas and isobutane canisters, although I like to use kerosene in cold weather, only because the odor is nostalgic. Another thing I love about this stove is that the pump is all-metal. No cheap plastic crap. The two negatives for the stove are significant: it's nearly impossible to light the stove when using the E417 canister gas without a piezo starter. That's because the gas pressure is too high for a yellow flame to catch, and so, you can't start it with a match or lighter. You MUST have a piezo starter. I thought the unit itself was to blame, so I took it in for review with the store that I bought it from (Campmor), and the repair people had difficulty starting it without a piezo starter. I returned it, then several months later bought another unit at another store (EMS) - same problem. And service at the second store also had a problem with it. So, I returned it again, as it just isn't dependable. A month later, I decided to buy a piezo starter and the stove here on Amazon and give it one more try since I was banking on the brand's reputation; and sure enough, the same problem happened again. However, using the piezo starter worked fine. I concluded that the design of the stove did not allow for using a match or lighter to start it. I compared all of my canister stoves (I have 7 of them from different brands and models), plus the Jetboils our boy scout troop uses, and all of them light easily with a match or lighter. In playing with the stove, trying to see what would start it, I also tried the ferocerium lighters (Bic) as well as the piezo lighters (Aim & Flame), and found only the latter to work. I tried a magnesium spark kit, that also failed to start the stove. I tried with a blow torch, that worked easily. I tried to light using another canister stove, another stove running white gas and kerosene, and these stoves all had no problem lighting this one. As a result of all this testing, I'm very comfortable stating that the design is the problem, and not the unit itself, and cannot be started with a match or lighter (yellow flame). Only piezo will work, or another blue flame, such as from another stove or blow torch. I expected much better performance from a stove of this cost from Optimus. The $8 stoves you get from ETekcity easily start with a match, lighter, and piezo starter, yet this stove not only can't start with match or lighter, it doesn't even have it's own starter as the lighter stoves do, nor does it come with a piezo starter. At this cost, Optimus, you ought to have thrown in a starter. The other negative of the stove is that it is extremely heavy. This isn't something an ultralight backpacker takes along. The stove is unequivocally sturdy, and to me, tops all other stoves in this regard. But it is heavy. I don't mind the weight and I primarily burn white gas and canister butane when I camp, and having a simplified fuel system, for me, outweighs the weight issue. All of my buddies won't use the stove on account of the weight.
