what is the difference between this stove and the "Ultralight Backpacking Canister Camp Stove with Piezo Ignition 3.9oz" that sells for under $6?

Probably not much except that it ships from Hong Kong(which could take weeks to arrive) where as the Etekcity ships Prime. When I purchased this is was $10 so it's gone up a few bucks. Great stove though!

there is one significant difference. i have purchased both. The cheap one has a lot of plastic parts (like the central core) and the Etekcity stove is solid aluminum and stainless steel. Operation is the same. Metal one may last longer.

First make sure you are talking about the Big Red Campfire (58035) and not the Little Red Campfire as there is only a $159 price difference in the larger Camco Campfire. I compared the 2 the best I could and found the following: * Campfire in a Can has a slighlty larger diameter vs. Big Red Campfire - 15" vs. 13.25" * Big Red Campfire has up to 65,000 BTU vs. 64,000 for Camp Fire In a Can * Both have 10' hoses with regulators * Both have one piece logs * Both have an insulated bottom * The Big Red is slighlty heavier * Warranty for Big Red is 1 year while Camp Fire in a Can has something called Happy Camper Guarentee??? * Have to buy seperate cooking rack for Big Red campfire I cannot say why a $159 difference in the Big Red campfire 58035 and is why I purchased the Big Red Campfire. I can buy 2 of the Big red Campfires for the price of 1 Camp Fire in a Can.

I don't remember, I had to throw the item away after it conked out only a few months into use. It had other issues too --- you can read my review. I recommend you spend your money on some other product. I have gone back to using a two-burner propane-cylinder Coleman camp stove (I cook near a slightly open window, to vent the toxic CO fumes, and I have a CO alarm, which has never gone off). The gas Coleman is really an ideal cooker, you have complete (and visible) control over the flame and thus the heat, it is easy to clean, and the propane cylinders are about $4 each where I buy them. I have never used more than 3 cylinders in a month, so the $12 cost is considerably less than the electricity cost of an electric stove or hotplate for cooking. BTW, I did purchase another brand of hotplate, which also proved to be unsatisfactory (no real temperature control, it is either 'off' or 'on', even though it has a nice 'dial' with nice-looking numbers on it). I suggest doing a lot more research. Note: B&D, over my lifetime, has generally produced excellent products. This was not, in my experience, a product that should have even made it out of engineering. There USED to be good 2-burner hotplates --- I used one for 6 or 7 years, and although it required a few internal wiring repairs, which I did myself, it was functionally excellent. Unfortunately, I had to scrap it and do not remember the brand name. Good luck to you!

It depends on what level of hardship you want. If you are cooking for dozens who want their food immediately then you prob want a bigger stove. If you are solo or with a patient spouse then it works great for backpacking and should work well enough for car camping.

William and nanstertoo are correct. This bundle includes a propane burner attachment. That's the only difference between this bundle and the stove itself.

Camper stoves are smaller than apt size stoves. Google camper trailer stoves...

I do not know any thing about the Alpha Electric portable stove, but I am very happy with Music City Mtetal stove. 280 KK is very light in weight, low to the ground and large burner area. There are inner ring and outer ring fire. For larger pot you can lite both rings and inner ring only for smaller pot. Since early nineties till now, I must have bought over 100 stoves for friends and families. ( I am not dealer). Every year or two some one approach me for information about where to buy the stove, and help them buy the Music City 280KK burner. Our community entertain at home and we use this burner to cook food in garage or for picnics.Mohan D.

I'd say it's good for boiling small pots of water for dehydrated meals. Good for backpacking because it is light, but I wouldn't use it for a full camping stove, especially if you are cooking for multiple people.

We use this stove for camping and it works great! WE love it! We did buy a wind screen but it was so short I didn't feel like it did much but I guess anything is better then nothing... I highly recommend the stove though!

The legs are in by simple spring pressure so they are easy to pull out of place and then rotate to one side. The is a small coil spring between the burner/round plate and the base. This puts tension on the legs holding them into small holes in the base. Most of the time I don't keep my stove in the bag unless the cook set I am using is too small to hold the stove. For the price it's hard to beat this stove. I use it 100% butane cartridges I have refilled saving lots of $$$. Have fun hiking.

The guality was very surprising for the price. I have another gasone stove as well and it also works great

Hi Jason, It is a great stove for 1-2 But 3 is not really the best. If you are going to camp with 3, get a second stove. or even a third. They fold flat and if you have wood available where you are going. You don't have to pack any fuel. The extra stoves are nice because you can heat water for cleanup or coffee after heating with one of them. I think you get the idea!

The ZA-3 was the older model that was a 10,000 BTU stove. The newer ZA-3HP is 12,000 BTU and has an added heat panel that keeps the fuel canister warm meaning it maintains performance better when the fuel is getting low.

not sure, I burned up the box to start the fire. It works great comes on with a themo sensor. I had to tighten the hex nut on the fan when I started it up was loose and fan made noise against the housing. Was easy to do. I also ordered the Magic Heat. It is probably a better unit with a plunger type rod to clean off soot buildup. The US stove doesn't have anyway to clean the interior piping within the 6" stove pipe. I have been using a creosote destroyer powder in my woodstoves which does a good job of cleaning.

The difference lies in the wattage. I do not believe that the Nuwave goes up to 1800 watts. This makes a difference. Re accessories.. your call on valuing them vs the higher powered burner. If I were to purchase a second burner it would be the Max Burton.

backpacker's butane works really well, Got my fuel @ Walmart for around 4-5$$

My understanding is that the newer PIC may be referred to on Amazon as PIC 2. The Nuwave website only sells the newest version but you may still occasionally find the older models offering fewer features on Amazon and other websites. I have had mine for around D five months and have used it every day. I have only used my stove top one time since my PIC arrived. I love it. I have read a few bad reviews but my niece had one and loved it so I decided to try it. The shipping is outrageous but getting the two PIC's along with the cook set ran just over $120 (If I remember correctly) and I feel it was a worthy purchase. Hope this helps.
