Untitled ReviewThe shaker jet works well and has kept this stove buring blue after many 22 oz bottles and many hours of melting snow and cooking food.
The pump seems to be it weak point but is easy to fix in the field and has been durable. The cup that provides pressure will provide less compression over time and will need to be taken out and "massaged" from time to time to keep it happy. Replacement pumps are available and are cheap.
When using it in below 0 F. temps the pump many fail to provide pressure. When this happens you have to take the pump shaft off and warm the cup. Easy to do and fast.
It has worked well for me during the summer in 100 F. temps and in the winter down to -15 F. degree temps.
