This is the stove imported by Brunton.
http://www.brunton.com/recreational_products/stoves/stoves_frameset.htm
The reason why I believe it is the best stove for youth is it has a way to
release the pressure once you are done cooking without losing fuel or
spraying fuel in your face. Your flip the fuel bottle over and the pressure
drains off, forcing all of the fuel out of the stove. When you unscrew the
bottle, no pressure, no fuel spray.
The next reason why it works is because the cleaning mechanism is built into
the stove. Take the tool and shove it under the stove and a magnetic pin is
forced up through the stove cleaning it. No more taking your stove apart
and cleaning it in the middle of the night. (This was an old test I
required climbing buddies to do. Take apart, clean and put an MSR back
together blindfolded. Doing it in freezing temperatures with fuel
evaporating is even worse.)
There are many more reasons why the stove works, but those two alone are
worth the purchase.
