Tested by IvyEverything in this shop went out on a real trip with me before it earned a listing. Wet, cold, dropped, packed out. This one passed.
Dinner is two miles past the trailhead and the canister is empty. A wood burning camp stove solves that permanently. It runs on dry twigs, sticks and wood chips off the ground, and holds a pot steady while it boils.
Burns found wood, no gas or canisters so a long trip never depends on how much fuel you packed in.
2.4 lb (1.1 kg) and folds flat with a storage bag, a small weight penalty for cooking that does not run out.
Four removable brackets sit on top for pots and kettles, or drop inside to hold an alcohol burner (burner not included).
Vented stainless panels pull air through the fire, so it lights quickly and holds a working flame.
Wide flat base keeps a full kettle upright on uneven ground.
It packs for a weekend and stays in the truck through winter. Outdoor use only, never inside a tent.
