  • do you think that it is more stable than the pocket rocket?

  • @gerberboy0100 - A lot of the stability (or lack of) is due to the canister. The canisters have a small footprint, but there are stands you can buy that clip to the bottom of the canisters to help. The Pocket Rocket has 3 arms and the SuperFly has 4 for the pot to sit on. Find a firm, level spot to setup the stove and they both work well.

  • should i get this or the pocket rocket please respond witch is best for hikeing and camping in cold and hot temps

  • @tony2timekilla - The Pocket Rocket is smaller and weighs less. The SuperFly is more efficient with the fuel. They are both good stoves, so it is up you if you want to lighten your load with the Pocket Rocket or burn less fuel with the SuperFly. They will probably perform about the same in varying temps because that is more dependent on the fuel. I've used the SuperFly between 30 F and 95 F and it does fine. If you want a stove for colder weather, look at a white gas stove instead.

  • Have that same stove, and have had a few problems with the temperature. It was about 20 degrees, and I screwed the canister on, and it sounded like the fuel was coming out of the canister...a lot of it too....and it was screwed on tight tho. Tried it a couple more times and it finally quit, and I could light it, would you recommend the Dragonfly for cold temps, since it uses liquid fuel?

  • @logan9539 - I've had the same problem once on a cold morning with this stove. The seal between the canister and stove took a few times to seat right. I've only had the problem once though, and was unsure what caused it. For cold temps, the Dragonfly or one of the other liquid fuel models is a better choice. I like the Dragonfly because it has good simmer control, but the SimmerLite and WhisperLite are a bit lighter.

  • You may not be able to see the flame, but you can sure see the heat coming off it. Good video and great review.

  • @gr4nduc - I haven't noticed any damage. It still works great after many uses.

  • good review man
