If you are a podcast listener, the Gritty Bowmen have a podcast all about this. Aaron Snyder of Kifaru talks at length about the benefits and drawbacks of pretty much every one on the market

Know nothing about it, but may be of interest. Not even sure if it is available yet.

I used a $15 dollar one from walmart for six days in Colorado this past fall to boil water morning and night as well as making coffee every morning. Only used a small canister and there is still fuel in it. my two cents

Use fire paste under your generator when temps drop, it will heat the fuel when first started, no flare up

MSR Reactor.

It's like a Jetboil on steroids. Fastest, most efficient canister stove ever, and not affected by wind.

Good thing I held off on buying a Micro Rocket, can save some money with this one! Used a Pocket Rocket last year at 10,000-11,000 for archery elk and it worked great. Boiled water twice a day and ran out of fuel w/ a small canister on the 5th morning. Replacing it with the Pocket Rocket 2 simply because of size issues. Being able to fit a stove, canister, and lighter in my 700ml pot is a big plus in my eyes. I spent too much time digging around my pack trying to see where my pocket rocket fell to.

i posted this same question a while ago and decided to go with the MSR rocket. its small and works beautifully. i don't think you can go wrong.

I've done a lot of backpacking w/ a Jetboil. Granted, I pretty much just boil water and pour it into Mountain House food packets, but I believe the company is making different accessories these days to go on the Jetboil, like a several different sizes of little frying pans that I'd think would be big enough to cook a brook trout or two. Or a boned out grouse, etc.
