I like fancier food when I go and it's usually with 2+ people. get etekcity stove on amazon, and the typical canisters that go with it. It's really nice to be able to control the heat. you spend weight on the stove, and canister but it's more efficient that cat can stove. Someone did the math before, the proper stove method is actually lighter over a certain amount of burns. trying to save tiny amounts of weight = a lot more hassle later unless you spartan backpacking. I like to do 5 burns /day = breakfast, coffee, dinner, desert, hot coco.
