PSA: That $80 Amazon camp stove I bought died on trip 3

Bought a no-name brand camp stove for $80 on Amazon after reading good reviews. Took it out to Big Pine Creek last month. First trip it worked fine. Second trip the regulator started acting up. Third trip last week the thing wouldn't hold flame more than 5 minutes. Tried cleaning the jets and the fuel line but no luck. Stuck with a cold dinner and a wasted $80. Anyone else have luck with those cheap stoves or should I just cough up for a MSR or Jetboil?

My buddy bought one and it melted its own handle off first trip.

That's rough about the handle melting off. I feel for your buddy, nothing worse than a brand new thing breaking on the first real use. Hope he got his money back or a replacement at least.
