I have used the GAZ stove for years.  Since the canned gas has very few 
contaminants there is virtually no maintenance.  The only time I ever had
to clean the burner was when food was spilled on them.  It is much like
your gas stove at home, fuel is in a gaseous state at all times (except
while under pressure in the can) and does not have to go through the 
atomization and carbeuration (sp?) processes like a white gas stove does.
this is also why they are infinitely adjustable since you are adjusting 
the flow of the gas (state not substance) rather than the flow of a 
liquid.
