This was one of my first stoves when I started backpacking.  It was light, compact and fit into any little crevice of my backpack that was available.  The white gas option is much better over butane if you're hiking in colder weather.  I never had a clogging problem with this stove in three years.  But the main drawback was that you need to find some kind of wind screen if the weather is kicking up.  And I'm not much of a fan of cooking in the tent for obvious reasons.  It also held up well and sturdy to holding small pots of food. Although I never tried large pots, I don't think I would recommend it if it's the only thing you have to eat.  It might end up on the ground.  This is a great little stove for light backpack camping.
