Bulin Camping Cooking Pot Heat Exchanger Outdoor Camp Pot With Camping Gas Stove 3800W

Update: To be fair, this combo has not failed me, I created a little shield to try to keep heat off the gas line which I believe is probably the point of potential failure. I wouldn't walk away from this stove while lit based on the reports in these reviews. I will be using this daily for years and will definitely update if there's a problem.This stove with the 1.5L pot that pairs with it is exceptional.For a full time vanlifer who cooks everyday on a camp stove I'm quite happy. Other stoves with 3 or more burners have been pretty disappointing.The 1.5K pot mates perfectly down over this burner so the wind protection is very good. The design of the heat transfer fins on the pot is better than any other I've seen since it forces heated air to stay in contact with the sides of the pot for longer than other designs. Coupled with this high output capable stove and you can boil water very fast. Additional it is simmer capable. I've been using it with a carbon frying pan. The wide burner is welcomed compared to most camp stoves so there's not so much of a hot spot. The pot supports are quite wide too, you can flip in 3 bits to make it narrower. It's not really stable for a 750ml cup/pot but I did manage to balance one on there.Now on to why it's only 3 stars:Many people are reporting that gas can suddenly spew out of the gas line.The gas line is quite close to this high output flame. I have made a shield that will hopefully protect the gas line. I'm not sure if I am addressing the actual problem but it is concerning to say the least.You have to tighten the small valve knob quite tightly so you don't have a slow leak, a bigger knob night be easier.The listings for these are all over the place. I bought a package deal with this stove (Bulin 3800 BL100-B15) with the 1.5 liter pot for $50. This is a great price. Now I don't see that combo. When you do look at the different offerings the first picture probably depicts what you are getting but if you scroll through the pictures the product is different.You cannot return a stove on this shipping site, this needs to be made very clear. They should install a button before you check out that has the words "stoves cannot be returned"The first time I found this out with a different stove they made an exception for me so it's worth calling customer care if you have issues.

Overall for the money I think this is a great combo. The pot and stove combo boiled 2 cups of water 1 m 25 s in no wind 71 degrees. In normal world use I would not expect that but gives me a great baseline. Highly recommend. Only complaint is there are no measurements stamped but there is a line that you could set at 2 cups.

I will use this almost exclusively to boil water for coffee and Mountain House meals. It boiled 18oz of water in 63 seconds.So far it is very impressive. I wish it had graduated measurement lines anywhere.
