it's been very reliable, lightweight, and works in cold weather. Fuel is cheap and a lot more environmentally friendly than disposable cannisters.
Plus, it's easy to make and works great as a project for ~10-year old kids. You need a windscreen and a pot stand with it (those are both easy to build), just like you would with any other small burner stove.
The one change I made to that stove's design was that I used a little bit of JB Weld to help keep the inside can in-place. Then I put the lid back on the outside can and JB Welded it on. The result was a very durable, lightweight stove that works great.
