Have used it a few times. Very happy with it. Look forward to further use on the trail. Really like the no moving parts simplicity of the design. Makes it kind of bullet proof design.

Only thing that I can see is the long priming phase. Seems like it takes longer than others. Have not done a stop watch test though.

The first time I used the stove, I didn't fill it to the top and got poor performance. When i filled it to the top with 1 full ounce of fuel, it burned for 21 minutes, boiled a pint of water in 7.5 minutes and was still simmering for ten minutes after that. I would suggest a good pot stand to insure there are no spills. Using the stove as a pot stand is feasible but I wouldn't trust my dinner on top of it. :) Better than a pepsi can stove because it does not burn wildly. Better than the Cat can stove because it last longer. One ounce of fuel is good for a meal and clean up. Construction is flawless. Price is reasonable. I carry mine in my Evernew 1.3 liter pot with a pot stand made out of three inch aluminum flashing.

I live in Colorado, home of some of the most beautiful and rugged mountains in North America, I have now used this stove twice at more than 12,500', It works! Simple, light weight, reliable.
I would not want to cook for a large group of hungry hikers with only one of these, but for 2-4 people this stove is a dream.

I am not one to lavish praise. I have to tell you, the Vargo Decagon that I have just received is impressive. I just opened the package, filled the stove with fuel and lit it, within 2 min. it had primed and blossomed nicely. With a home made wind shield surrounding the stove I boiled 1 liter of tap water in about 5 min. rough timing,
didn't think to time time to the second.
I live at 6,000 feet. Boiling water here
is no mean feet, 25 miles West of here that is now a challenge. I have been hiking, climbing and camping the Colorado Mountains for a very long time, 50 years or so, I have seen a lot of designs come and go, this design is a clear and clear winner. Thank you for a fantastic product. I'll be using it this weekend at 12,000 feet on a fishing trip. Just gotta love it, don't you!

Not good with mechanical things. This is always simple and easy to use. And weighs less than my pocket rocket. First saw it when another ultralight hiker showed it to me. Now I show it to everyone!

Excellent! So light and nothing to break. I had stopped paking because of foot issues for 10 years. I am back now in big part to products like the decagon stove. Even without going ultra light crazy, my packis lighter and my backpacking future is much brighter.

*Using a windscreen is recommended for optimal performance.  *Always be sure to fill with fuel above the weld at the top of the center hole. If filled less than full, the flame will not reach maximum heat.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

From Brian Vargo - The Decagon stove was designed for one reason- durability. In creating the Decagon stove I wanted a stove that could be dropped, stepped on or thrown from a cliff without worry of breaking.  I also wanted it to be all one piece with no moving parts. The stove part functions exactly as the original Triad stove. 

To keep the stove from tipping when putting a pot on top, I added a base plate to the bottom for stability. One of the tests we did to confirm that the stove is durable enough, was to drive over the stove with my truck in our parking lot.  No damage was done so I believe I succeeded in creating a durable stove.
