I had one very similar - looks like this one was made by the same company as 
the one I had a couple of years back, but the one you mention looks like it 
has a couple more bells and whistles. I paid about $75 for mine (plus I think 
about $40 postage); the price listed here is $119.

The one I had, I had trouble making fires in! Had trouble getting a fire to 
catch. I had much more success with my homemade rocket stove made of tin cans.

Would love to hear other people's experience with these "Official" ones. 
Certainly these stoves are beautiful, and hefty, very solid. I would love to 
hear that other people had good experiences, and that my lack of fire-making 
success was more about me than about the stove! ;)
