Stoves feature a neoprene-insulated pot (billycan), corrugated metal heat exchanger (burner) and burner adjustment valve—with ignition via either an outside source or integral push-button electric igniter, depending on the model.[8]
The ring of corrugated metal forming the burner also shields it from wind and directs heat to the base of the pot.[9] The ring and burner, along with a coiled heat exchanger at the bottom of the stove all work to contain heat, enabling an average boiling time of two minutes and fifteen seconds.[10]
The company markets its fuel, a mixture of propane and isobutane,[11] in canisters that thread to the bottom of the burner. Several stove models feature a stabilizing tripod (for the base of the fuel canister) as well as a plastic cup, which covers the heat exchanger during storage.[12]
