Good stove.  Doesn't simmer as well as some of MSR's other stoves.  Will sputter a bit above 10,000 feet (High pressure in the fuel tank will help mitigate both simmer and sputter a tad).  Might want to look into a trillium base if you plan to put in down on something other than rock (or other hard surface).  The rounded wire feet will pretty readily sink in soft soil/sand.  You can assist on heat distribution across the bottom of your pan with a diffuser plate (should be able to find one for about $5.00).  I think there is one that uses the term "scorch buster."  Try backpacker's panty ... they have them without the wire needed for the outback oven.
