I guess the main considerations would be:

In what conditions would it be used (u something bigger for snow or alpine environments) ...
Is the energy /usb really required? If your camping with your car next to you you can use a different rocket stove and charge usb of car 12v
And is weight an important factor (backpackers and hikers may ve counting every pound.. This one is 7 but you can get amazing alpine level stoves at 3lbs)

If its for people who like camping in yosemite in spring etc then sure... Looks great
Oh the other thing is it intended for heat or fir cooking
Because you can cook on this fine
But since it uses twigs it must be constantly manned
Ie you can go to sleep expecting heat all night


I have a handbuilt rocket stove in my yurt... It takes 2x4 even 4x4 wood no problem
But still have to add wood ever half hour.

So cooking = great
Need heat.... Get a collapsible box stove
