On a related note, what is the general opinion on portable wood stoves like this as opposed to backyard firepits, or campfires?

One hundred forty-six beaver bux for some sheet metal. I hope that it is titanium.

The US price for the same package, taken from their site is around $115. Remember, this is the package with ALL the accessories. That's a pretty similar price once you factor in import tax and currency conversion.

That particular model of stove uses a particularly thick alloy of stainless steel. Apparently they're working on adding a titanium version of it, but they're having trouble getting the price right.

What is the advantage over a rocket stove made out of a coffee can?

A platform to mount a pot of some kind if I want to grill or make tea while still providing adequate airflow for a fire.

I can put bigger sticks inside and still get good airflow.

Most importantly, I don't have a dremmel tool to cut metal. I have tin snips, a hammer and nails, and pliers.

Seriously though, a tin can rocket stove was plan A for a long time, but I couldn't figure out a way around not having a dremmel tool.

Get a cheap corded drill from a yard sale or something. Drill holes in the corners of where you want the larger holes to be. Cut them out with tin snips.
Hell, you could get a nice cordless one for the amount you'd spend on the overpriced piece of stamped metal.

I ended up taking a coffee can and just hammering in an assload of holes in them. I have a couple different sizes of nails, so it was doable. Using the tin snips here didn't seem as easy as it looked in the video guides I saw. Not consistently, at least. Maybe I just have to learn to use them better. The hole I tried making for the intake was hideously misshapen, so I just started thinking of it as a bottom feeder hole. It cuts right down to the very bottom of the can, though, so I can't build up a thick layer of coals on the bottom.

Putting that on top of a rusted out coleman stove gave me some air clearance on the bottom, and a safe place for the ashes / embers to fall out.

I don't know yet what I can really do to moderate the first flaring fire, with all the cracking and embers flying around, but I'm at least pretty sure that "not enough air flow" isn't going to be a problem for me. What I did was place the bean can in front of the bottom feeder hole as best as I could, and cover the top of the can with another metal coffee can that had water in it to try to reduce the air flow.

I ended up getting a decent scattering of coals after a while, and I'm using the residual heat to try to dry some newspaper logs I made a few days ago.

I'll post pics of it tomorrow.
