I wasted $120 on a fancy ultralight camp stove and it sucked

I bought that popular high end titanium camp stove everyone on here swears by. Cost me $120 and it couldn't boil water in under 10 minutes on a calm day. My old $30 cheap stove from Walmart does it in 4 minutes flat. The thing is, it's so lightweight the wind knocks it over every time unless you find a perfect flat rock. Tried using a windscreen but it's not recommended for safety reasons with that canister design. Ended up selling it for half what I paid on Facebook marketplace last week. Has anyone else had better luck with those ultralight stoves or is it all hype?

That "can't boil water in 10 minutes" thing sounds like a user error honestly.

Wait, @tara_jones94 are you defending that stove?
