I agree, this does seem like a nice option, at least for most areas.
Soon I'll be heading to the upper reaches of Glacier Bay where there's
not much by way of fuel. I am wondering (1) if there will be enough fuel
(probably yes, given that the stove requires only twigs), and (2) if
they are legal in that area (probably not, given that the Park Service
requires the use of gas stoves in the upper bay). I will check on number
(2).  This seems like a nice option for long trips.  By the way, does
the stove simmer, or is this just a boil-up-some-water type of thing? 
How controllable is the heat output?
