Actually, I think it's something you always need to consider - I often take no cook meals, particularly if it's hot out. I don't go stoveless, just because of my coffee addiction, but taking a stoveless meal or two both allows me to carry less fuel, eat in a downpour if I don't wanna go out and cook it, etc. etc. so it's often real nice to have a cook free meal or two with you on a several day outing.
