Re: Question for backpacking/hiking/camping experts
I've been using the Vargo titanium alcohol stove. We're talkin light weight, 1 oz.
It will do a good job if you only need to boil water or do some very simple cooking. It will run about 10 minutes then needs a refill. A quart of water boils in 7 or 8 minutes depending on altitude and ambient temp. A windscreen is a must, I use a piece of aluminum cut from a disposable turkey pan.
You can also use fuel tabs with it as a backup.
