Makes a strong "helicopter sound" when the flame needs to be slightly bigger. The legs of the kettle are stiff to use and sometimes slap your fingers annoyingly. Soft metal flame spreader; one leg broke and part had to be replaced. The black paint is coming off the top of the brass that goes to the flame regulator.

Actually works with any flammable liquid. Best with gas and small engine gasoline. Diesel soots a little, especially in the beginning, and you should be careful with it when adjusting the nozzle. It also works when folded directly in place of the Trangia burner without any adapters (you only need to always unscrew the fuel hose and put it back in place when assembling). A small minus is that even though all fuels work with one nozzle, diesel and longer carbon chains could have their own nozzle. The child lock on the bottle is also a bit challenging

It was not until I used it that I realized how convenient it is to use LP gas as well. The use of LP gas allows me to quickly and reliably preheat kerosene, which is a time-consuming task. I don't think I will ever go back to MSR Dragonfly again.

Seems to work okay, despite coming with a little dent in the fuel line. I'll add another star if it doesn't leak.
