These portables are all I cook on as I have no stove.  Portable convection 
oven and these burners and a much forgotten microwave.  I own four different 
brands.  If you go to buy one (or more) then what you should look for, 
should you have a choice, are the amount and size of the flame holes.  The 
ones with lots more smaller holes are better as they tend to be more fuel 
efficient.  If you plan to take along to events or picnics then you may want 
to work up some sort of wind screen to put partially around it.  The wind 
will either keep blowing out your flame or it will cause more fuel usage.  
They come in a nice little "suitcase" too for even more convienence.  The 
canisters come 4 to a pack usually and run about a buck a can, $4.25, 
although where I get mine I pay $2.99 per 4 pack.
