Demon Camp Cooker: Serious Multifuel Burner Heats Fast

Like a '68 Mustang, this no-frills multifuel burner is about as subtle as a swift kick to the cargo pants. Its performance could be measured in decibels, so

Convenient match slots. Boils faster than an anger-management dropout, under 3 minutes. Intense flame decreases wind worries. Seven-inch diameter great for wider pans. Definitely the best blaze for the buck

Can't handle butane. Difficult to regulate heat (not for the simmer-loving gourmet saucier). No fuel canister included. Gas guzzler. Fold-up windscreen is dinky
