Don't use a large frying pan on the single ring cas stoves with the canister in the side, they tend to overheat the canister and explode on you, stick with a pan that doesn't cover the canister area.

Considering the high probability that many branded stoves are made in China anyway, I’d say it’d be worth a punt.
I’m don’t really understand why a lot of folk have a downer on Chinese goods these days (recipes involving bat notwithstanding!). The fact is that they are now the manufacturing engine room of the world. I guess the same suspicion was prevalent in the 60’s and 70’s with the rise of Japanese manufacturing - motorcycles, electronics, etc.
Back on stove related business (well, fuel preparation really), I’ve just bought a Fiskars X7 hatchet for camp fire duties. It’s replacing an oldish unbranded thing I got from Screwfix that’s a bugger to sharpen and won’t hold an edge. The X7 is a lovely bit of kit - made in Finland (!) - and a quarter of the cost of the Gransfor Bruks hatchet I was eyeing up! Should do for a bit of hedge-laying next winter too
