Last year I took a group of scouts on a llama pack trip. For the fun of it, I took a bunch of Jiffy Pops along to have a camp stove cookoff. I had my big propane single burner stove (the llamas carry the heavy propane bottles). The boys had several types of stoves. My propane stove has a wide burner and the corn popped beautifully. Several of the stoves, like the Pocket Rocket and it's clones, have very concentrated flames with high heat in a very small area. Those burned holes through the bottom of the Jiffy Pops in seconds, burning the popcorn in the process.
I didn't have the Svea with me so I don't know what it would have done. It's flame spread is sort of between the Pocket Rocket and my propane stove. It did prove 1 thing: some stoves are great for boiling water but for cooking anything else, they're too hot in the middle.

The Windburner has a wide radiant burner and able to dial the heat up or down. It looks like it wouldn’t be a problem setting a pot on top of the wide burner so it might be a little more versatile.

This thread reminded me I had one of these. I just dug it out and listed it in the classifieds for $80. Cool stove, but I don't see me using it anymore. Unfortunately, it's pretty tarnished. Pics in the ad.

Maybe I'll spruce it up with a little Brasso and see what happens.
