Not got one but it looks fairly simple, just an open jet burner with a small central aperture.

Should be fairly economical on fuel but not the fastest boiler. I'm also interested to hear if anyone's tried one yet.

Looks a mite flimsy to me and at................£25 no thanks I reckon I'll stick with the Swedish Army kit..........bombproof ....half the price .........and complete with fuel bottle and cooking pots.

£25 seems a bit steep to me. Personally I'd go for the coke can stove (I'm a big fan of these) which I'm sure would work just as well for a fraction of the cost. Of course you have to make it but for me that's all part of the fun. If you don't want to make one you can buy them off eBay for £2.50ish.

Just looked at the specs for the penny stove (2nd link below) and the Rodir stove and the penny comes out quicker by around 2 mins to boil
Penny @ 475ml = 3m59s
Rodir @ 500ml = 6m
Slightly different volumes but does demonstrate the difference
