For the backpacker who wants to travel light, this stove is a good option. The stove itself is very light and folds into a compact package. Sterno fuel doesn't weigh much either. If you really want to go light, skip the Sterno fuel and just gather wood at the campsite. Butane/propane camp stoves will cook much faster and the fuel is cheaper, but they are much heavier and take up more space. For more casual camping close to a car or camping trailer, however, space and weight are not really an issue and the gas powered stoves are actually a better option..
For use in a power outage or emergency, the gas powered stoves will also work better in the short term...until you run out of fuel. In case of a longer outage, it might be a good idea to have one of these folding stoves around, even if it's just as a backup.
Unlike folding stoves from other companies that are coated in dark paint that absorbs heat, the Sterno stove uses reflective aluminum. The top surface is about 6 3/8" x 6 3/8", big enough for a good sized pan. It also has a flat, grill-like top instead of the raised opening on the competitors. You could probably put a piece of meat right on it if you wanted to. If you do actually use Sterno fuel, there is a wire support for the can. The can does sit a little low, however. If you can find a way to raise it a little higher, it should cook faster.
Although this stove might not be the best choice for all circumstances, it does work well and I'm quite pleased with my purchase.
The design of this stove must surely date back to the 1930's, or even before, yet the functionality cannot be surpassed. Sure, a WhisperLite is trendy, and might heat water and food a little more quickly than sterno, but the tradeout is carrying around those bulky gas canisters, which are only useful for the stove itself. Sterno, on the other hand, has many other uses while outward bound, and much easier to tote around with you than those canisters, believe me.
I originally purchased my first Sterno stove in 1995 when I learned to flyfish after moving to Colorado. I needed something inexpensive, and easy to backpack, as I used to take off and spend two to three days fishing different rivers throughout the state. My whole system was easy enough to use to prepare some hot food after braving a frigid river on a November morning was a great morale booster. Whipping this out at a jobsite 10 miles from the closest Wendy's, Subway or any food outlet made my fellow workers envious as I enjoyed a can of hot chili and crackers while they mulled through their bologna sandwiches or other such lunchfare. I was asked numerous times where I had purchased my stove, and after returning to work over the next few days, noticed a few other little stoves had popped up on the site.
I gave it away to a couple of hippie kids who were 'traveling' through Colorado one day, and, can only imagine that once they landed on their feet, that little stove has been passed on to another soul who can put it to good use.
I am back to buy another to stick in my "Grab and Go" bag, just in case I ever need to head for the hills, due to some sort of disaster.

Wish it came with the fuel, but still works well and can be used indoor.
