Lightweight and compact..durable
It’s tiny, it’s light and it works great. This little guy is perfect for the ultralight backpacker. No, you’re not going to put a big pot or fry pan on it, but that’s not what it’s designed for. If you’re an ultralight backpacker but still want a stove then this thing is perfect. It’s light (super light, just over an ounce) and works splendidly. Perfect for ultralight cook pots. I even used with a quart saucepan, and if you set it down on the stove with something in it (always been just water) it won’t tip. Yes if you set something on it with a handle empty it’ll not stay, but you put the pot with handle with the contents in it it’s very balanced. Love this little guy. I’ve burned a whole canister of fuel and then some and it’s never failed...get this stove! I paid $16 for it I think. I see it’s up to $25 now...but I’d still pay that for it. It’s so lightweight and compact yet durable that you can’t go wrong.

Efficient, Durable, and Stylish KING SUMMIT holds the crown
The media could not be loaded. My buddies and I used our King Summit when we went on a camping trip in Big Sur and the product helped us cook up a nice hot meal after long hours of hiking. What I loved the most about it was how light, durable, and well designed the product was, it proved incredible useful at an excellent price point. It will definitely be a camping essential for years to come.

Great but could use some improvements
For the price its a solid 4 stars. It is extremely light and small (duh). Overall it's a solid stove and I love having it in my camping gear box. However, it does feel flimsy especially when unscrewing and screwing this stove onto the gas canister. I took this on my two-week car-camping road trip so I got a lot of use out of it already.Some things I noticed during this trip. Originally the stove prongs were hard to flip up. During the trip, they slowly got looser and looser. I can't tell if that is from one of us bending the prongs out during removal from the gas can or thermal stress from cooking. There could be several reasons the stove was hard to remove from the gas can as my partner believes the tighter the better.This is not as fuel-efficient as my prior stove. We went through 2 full medium-sized MSR gas cans during this two-week trip. We made 1 full pot of water in the morning and sometimes heating food at night when a fire restriction was in place. We ended up having to buy a new gas can during the trip. So probably not ideal if you are doing on a two-week backpack trip and want to heat up a lot of water. We did not have a windscreen so this could impact the efficiency of the stove.

Compact and powerful
This stove is great! It’s incredibly light weight and puts out a lot of heat and it’s about 50% less and MSR. I used it on a 3 day backpacking trip and I had no issues. However, it is significantly smaller than some of the other comparable burners so you’ll have to take that into consideration. But it works well in the wind and boiled 16oz of water very quickly.

Great Value - King Summit Delivers.
I used this product during a camping trip this past weekend and it did not disappoint. I was a little skeptical because the price was pretty low, but this little thing ended up being better than my MSR Pocket Rocket. For the price, I really do not think you are going to find anything better. It is super lightweight, pretty durable, and overall I am very satisfied.To conclude, this thing is a great value, works incredibly well, and I prefer it over other products I have used (MSR Pocket Rocket and bsr 3000ts). Highly recommend!

PERFECT - and smaller than I expected!
I bought this before heading out on a weekend backpacking trip. It has been about 2 decades since I have gone backpacking so I have had to renew pretty much all of my gear. I had an older Coleman (MSR style) camp stove that required the gas cans. Those cans would sometimes leak and they were also heavy. We still brought it along but I took this one along as well. I wanted to compare to decide which one I liked best. I love that this AND my propane/butane fuel all fit inside my cooking pots easily and hardly added any extra weight. Plus the time it took to boil the water for our food?! Wow! I was thoroughly impressed! We decided that for our family of 4, we need to have 2 stoves for sure. I will be purchasing another one for my husband to carry. Getting rid of the old Coleman one!

Haven't pushed it to the maximum output
Light and cheap stove. Functions well for what it is. It's not a question of how fast it can boil water because I think at full heat it can do so in around 3-5 minutes. The only question is will the legs give out and bend at full heat because they are quite thin. I've only used this at half to three quarters heat and it's been great. No problems whatsoever yet.

Works great!
Easy to set up, turn on, and store. Super small and weighs barely anything.Depending on the size of the pot it can feel a little unstable, but we haven't had any spills yet and we used it to boil up to a couple liters of water and to melt snow in!It doesn't heat up water quite as fast as some of the others out there, but for the price it's great!
