Stoves

[Hoodoo]

What kind of cooking do you plan on doing? Frying, boiling, long simmering, cold weather? Most of what I do requires boiling and 90% of the time I use esbit, the other 10% I use an alcohol stove, and the rest of the time I use a cook fire. Lessee now, I think I've got that math right... :?:

Stoves with a lot of parts are far more likely to fail than alcohol or esbit. That's the main reason I moved away from gas stoves. For winter camping, I use a twig burner or build a fire on a cookie sheet. Twig burners are especially nice if you want to cook over a fire but there are a lot of combustibles on the forest floor and the threat of fire is high.

Esbit is the ultimate lightweight way to go, imo.

for cheap and cheerful fuel tins use old lighter fluid tins (zippo etc)

prise the top off with a screwdriver and it snaps back on nice and leakproof

and the little jet on the top saves you fiddling around with a funnel
