So I break it out of the box and decided to try to cook with it. An hour and a half later I got a fire going. I felt I should donate my camping gear and tear up my Eagle Scout card. Needless to say I was doing something way wrong. I was overloading the combustion chamber keeping air from flowing through it.
Two days later I decided try again. This time I figured I need to go smaller, so I bought a bag of pecan wood to use as secondary kindling. I took one piece of pecan wood and used a hatchet to cut it into small pieces about the size of my pinky. I put a cotton ball with petroleum jelly on it into the chamber and carefully put my pecan wood pieces on top of the cotton ball (about 6). I lit the cotton ball and less than 5 minutes later I had fire. I placed 2 pieces of lump charcoal on it and now had a cooking fire. I took a medium skillet and made bacon and eggs for the family in about the same time it would take on the range (once the fire is lit). So as an effective stove replacement, so far it passes the test.
Some observations:
When you build a fire, think very small campire, not charcoal chimney. The only fire you will produce packing this thing full and lighting it are the flames of hatred that scorch your soul and nothing else.
After the initial lighting, there is no smoke produced that I could see.
There was no soot on the bottom of my stainless steel skillet.
I only used 4 pieces of charcoal to cook breakfast and still had plenty of heat left over.
The stove seemed to produce a steady, stable heat. It was like cooking on a range.
I didn't have to tend the fire to often. I only had to add two pieces of charcoal.
The sides got hot, but not enough to burn you.
The handles make it easy to move. It is also light enough to not be cumbersome but heavy enough to be stable. It is too heavy to backpack with unless you have a mule with you.
Cleanup is easy once it cools down. I honestly think it is better to let the fire burn out then empty it rather than close the doors and let it smother. It just seems just slow the burn when you do that, making you wait longer until you can clean it.
I am sure if you got creative, you could use a fire steel to light it, but it would a little more complicated.
Overall this is a great and efficient camping stove that should be part of your emergency preparedness kit. Also if you do a lot of camping, this stove would be ideal as it pretty much is an outdoor hot plate.
There is something about cooking outside that is very peaceful. Definitely worth it.

On you-tube everyone has reviewed this with only wood. I thought I'd try it out with charcoal. I've not cooked with charcoal since a teen so it was a new experience overall. I bought the King---brand matchlight. I staggered 4 coals and two on top in the top chamber on top of the charcoal grate which I set at angle to the wood grate for a criss-cross effect. I tried to light the bricks with a lighter but they wouldn't catch. Tried with wooden matches and discovered problem seemed to be the minimal wind blowing in the opening so turned away from wind -- and a few more matches and it lit. Thought they'd be easier to light with that name. The coals fire up for about 10 minutes (per bag) and if you put pot on stove before that dies down it gets covered with soot. I took another reviewers advice and put drop of liquid soap and spread around on bottom of pans and it helped with cleanup. After coals were set tried to cook scrambled eggs on top without windscreen -- extremely slow -- added windscreen and still slow. It took nearly 30 minutes to get cooked to safe level. I think you need to put in a lot more charcoal than I anticipated with this "efficient" stove. I then added more briquets via the top throat and immediately put on a pot of water and eggs to make hardboiled eggs. It didn't even think about boiling. Had to dig out a propane/butane camp stove and use that to bring to a boil -- tried to then transfer to the Zoom to "simmer" -- no luck there either. It was a pretty full pot of a dozen eggs. I don't doubt this can be done but I suspect you must fill up the bottom and the throat of the stove AND have on the windscreen to get decent heat transfer to the pot. It was a breezy day as well so that definitely helps draw the heat away. I put a windscreen around my campstove or it probably wouldn't have boiled on there either. End result of first try was complete failure with charcoal. The stove "ran well" and the outside did not get exceptionally hot, the build quality seems good -- I really like the doors and the newly-encased firebrick. I cooked with the top door completly closed and the bottom open all the way. The stove stayed hot on the inside for many hours after done so don't expect to pick it up and move after a stop at a park unless you plan for dealing with the hot ashes/coals and the unit still being hot....Perhaps a metal ash can would allow it to be transported in that AFTER disposing of the ashes elsewhere. And by the way I still HATE that the picture was of a WHITE one and what I received is a Medium GRAY (ugh)...so, final word of wisdom, fill 'er up with charcoal if you want real heat!
First impressions:
Product shipped VERY quickly for something not fulfilled by Amazon. It was EXTREMELY well packed and other reviews stating this helped me choose this vendor over the other (I have not myself experienced the other vendor, so perhaps they've got that straightened out). The box is kept in the middle of the shipping box by neatly shaped cardboard inserts -- which you can later use as biofuel (unlike a foam insert! -- well-considered!). Fed-Ex did an excellent job and the outer box was not badly beaten up like my most recent UPS deliveries and most usps deliveries. The box had two crossed heavy-duty shipping straps around the stoves box to help you lift it from the shipping container -- and you need that help as it is hefty. I cut the shipping straps after easily removing from the shipping box and opened the box. Stove fits in tightly. But here I got into a little trouble. I saw they had slipped a paper-wrapped grate down the throat of the stove and thought I could get it out before removing the stove from the box. I reached in and a "razor-sharp" piece of the internal flashing cut me like a wicked metal paper-cut on the back of the finger just above the nail. Now normally one won't reach down the throat like that -- and you can NOT remove the grate that way -- but I've seen many suggesting stuffing paper/bio-bits down that way to heat up the throat and wanted to warn of this issue. The other reason is I notice the steel pot-skirt/support/windscreen has these same sharp edges where you size it. They really should sand these just to take the cutting edge off. It's right in a spot that you'd think people wouldn't handle but is really a typical paper-cut (in this case steel-edge cut!) location -- as you'll likely drift your fingers across while sizing and tightening the pot-skirt.
Ok, now this is NOT a big deal to many guys but I think ladies will understand. The photo appeared to me to be of a WHITE stove, and as these come in colors from the other vendor, I THOUGHT I would get a white stove. Instead I received this quite medium shade of gray that I really do NOT like. Yes, I know with soot it'll get smudged up and it's probably more practical, but I LIKE WHITE and it appears this paint should clean-up well. I like white because it looks nice and it also shows more easily where you need to clean it so you don't get stuff all over your vehicle or yourself when carrying. No, I'm not going to demand/ask the vendor send me another as I'm sure the shipping for this weight is high -- but I wanted to be sure others know what they're getting. Dear ZOOM, please tell us the color, give us a choice, OR tell us we get the color you have on hand.
Oh, and on the Ceramic firebrick on the top door issue I saw many reviews about. It seems the manufacturer listened to all the complaints -- or the vendors did -- at any rate it's now encased in a steel shell and no longer disintegrates all over the stove in shipping. I've not attempted to open that shell -- so I don't know if it's possible or if it experienced any shipping stress.
LONG first impression but I thought it might help some folks who, like myself, were torn between the two vendors carrying what looks like an identical product. I paid $5 more for the Zoom version BECAUSE of the reviews about the other vendors SHIPPING/Packaging and CUSTOMER SERVICE issues. Now -- if they get that straightened out I suspect their customers will be kind enough to let us know. I followed the reviews for these on Zoom despite not being sure about the firebrick being encased and am VERY PLEASED I did! Stove itself is solidly built --hinges could be a little better but are probably ok. I'll update and probably chop down this initial as I get to use the stove and put it through it's paces with wood/bio and charcoal.

used to cook on a wok open flame you name it great bit of kit and well made!
Cuisson rapide (comme sur cuisinière). L'eau bout en quelques minutes.
Economique en carburant: du papier ou des brindilles pour l'allumage et seulement quelques morceaux de bois de petite taille pour la cuisson.
Très simple à utiliser, mais en extérieur car ça fume.
Le bémol: le récipient se noircit de fumée. J'ai donc réservé des ustensiles exprès pour cette utilisation.
Sinon excellent produit. Efficace.
