are you asking about a brand or in general. i have made several different woodstoves and they all work great for what they are. the first was a pot belly style, then i saw the light and all the others have been flat tops, the tranfer of heat for cooking is very good. i can fry the catch of the day in a skillet or perc coffee in a kettle.
youtube has way better than a couple pics from me, i have done a couple versions of the ammo can wood stove you'll see. the pot belly one i did first was made from a 20lb propane tank,,, its a good stove for ambient heat but you might as well make a flat top one for cooking as well.
i am currently re-doing the propane tank one with a flat top for cooking. i just like the pot belly look of it. i'll snap a pic for ya.

this is a good build vid of what i have been doing. after some versions i pretty much have excactly what is shown here with the addition of a baffle about 1" under the lid in front of the flu opening to make the fire go around the top cooking surface of the stove before it exits the flu,,, this seems to give off more heat to the air and the cooking surface. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=4LgArTl_BSU

I've watched a couple of your videos before, never realized you were a Mudder.
I like that you aren't in love with your own voice, a lot of the stuff you see on YT is just blah blah blah blah blah blah<useful info>blah blah blah blah blah blah<useful info>.

That is pretty cool. Kinda spendy (though not much more than other rocket stoves being produced) but if you are addicted to your USB powered gadgets and are on foot that would be the ticket.
I just ordered one of these in stainless. They make a titanium version also. Even though I am always vehicle based I use some backpacking kit just to save weight and space so I can carry more beer!
