I use a Kovea Spider remote canister stove. I don’t consider price at the top of the list but look hard at the efficiency. A remote canister stove lets the user safely put a tight windscreen around the stove greatly increasing the efficiency. The Kovea Spider is lighter in weight and has a smaller footprint than other remote canister stoves I looked at. The high efficiency means I carry less fuel so less weight and bulk and save a lot of money over time making the original price of the stove negligible.

I have a couple alcohol stores that are used over some trips and during some seasons too.
