if you're looking for a little one person portable stove system I might recommend the Swiss Ranger Stove.

it comes in 3 pieces. "The set contains an insulated bottle with a cork lid, winged handle canteen cup, and a wing handled vented stove."

I saw it on Survivalistboards.com and I might buy one for myself or whatever

If you are doing car camping then I would recommend a coleman dual fuel. They burn gas or coleman fuel. They work great. Century sells as propane conversion to use bottles is $20. Very happy with my stove.

Dual fuel all the way!

Some dont like the plastic pump. There are other with metal pumps but they cost more.

propane is great unless you are camping in less than 45 degree temp

i got one of those single burner bottle top ones and its nice

i got a pile of 425e in the garage but they take routine mantinence like cleaning the generator coil oiling the pump and so on

i use one to melt lead it has a nice sturdy grill

i also have a primus butane one its nice and tiny

+1 the Jet Boils recommendation.

Another +1 on the jet boil. If you are hiking, it's perfect and compact. Boils in minutes, but not a large amount of water. $100 but $100 well spent.

This one looks real promising! I love the use of titanium and collapsing into your pot/cup as well as the leave no trace titanium ground sheet.

While I am not a fan of esbit or sterno cooking, I like the wood fire option.

If size is not too much of an issue I would just go with the old school coleman. You can pick them up for 10-25 bucks at the swap meet and they work great. Buy the propane adapter for it and carry both the propane and coleman fuel setups all in one deal. One of my kids just spent a weekend in Yosemite with a setup like this and it worked perfectly. The dual fuel stoves are nice but even Coleman recommends not using gasoline in them anymore. The gas will work just fine but the amount of additives that are in gasoline these days is just staggering and burning it in an open flame while preparing your meal is probably not a good idea.

How many times have you cooked something besides Moutain House?

Never because you cannot cook with a JetBoil only boil water.
