Works like it should for what I need it for
So i bought this burner for my Yama Coffee Siphon to replace the alcohol burner it comes with. Makes the process a lot more controllable and consistant. Great product would definitely recommend.
Note that it does not come with the butane though. I ended up getting some at Walmart for $2 a refill, but they are available in the larger quantities on Amazon
Great for Fondue
The burners are great as replacements for alcohol or gel burners. They put out a huge amount of heat, so you must be careful to have enough clearance between the burner and the dish or pan. If not, the burner control will melt. They can be filled with a butane canister or the larger cans used in portable stoves. We have 8 of them and use them frequently.
Better than an alcohol burner, but burn time is short
I own three. When using for fondue or tableside cooking, I have to keep two filled, so I can swap them out. They burn for 15--25 minutes tops. Still, they easily keep a fondue pot filled with oil at 325 degrees or higher...Something alcohol burners and Sterno cannot. Appears to be built well, although the heat markings on the dial melt off after the first use, as they're applied on what looks like a crummy piece of plastic tape. For refills, use the butane canisters that work in the little butane stoves and not the tiny cans for filling lighters. Much less expensive.
