Got very good and friendly communications from my e-mail to the States.
It works out at $34.82 which equals about £21,sent by air mail.
Probably going to go for it as I'm a bit of a sucker for meths stoves as I'm always a bit limited for space on the old battered motorbike :Dl

It looks like a great stove, but there are too make bits to break for the hiking backpack (in my view).

Have you looked at Tiny's stuff? www.minibulldesigns.com

This looks as good as any although I might put the burners on the top.

I can see why it's appealing, I personally like meths stoves, and the easy adjustment and built-in pot stands are a good idea. BUT, I don't think I could ever buy it because it is essentially a "pop can stove", and the whole point of those is that they are cheap stoves you can make yourself at home.

Another alternative is the Super Cat

basically a tune tin with some holes in a special configuration - works a dream (from personal experience).
