We've been using those in Calafia for a little while. The Barony owns one,
and we use it at events, and my household owns one.

We found that the biggest hassle was remembering to bring a wrench to
tighten the gas fittings (duct tape one to the leg when you disassemble).
And a carrying bag.  Luckily there was a great sale on large size sport
duffles recently, and it fits inside there just fine.

The stoves are wonderful!
