It is a compact and lightweight stove that burns all liquid fuels like propane butane, white gas and white gas using one nozzle. It's a typical stove with the burner mounted to a body that is anchored by three fold-out support legs. A pump is located on the top of the fuel line and the generator loop runs around the inlet, and the flame spreader is up above that. The burner is a low-velocity flame type.
