I like these ones:

They are pricy but they are light. You can find cheaper versions made of steel.
They are foldable and can be used as tent stove. I'm thinking if you need to get on foot and you need to sleep in a tent or in a temp shelter they can be used inside because they have a chimney.
For normal times I like the Volcano :

Prom, how do you like the volcano? We were looking at it for a BOL situation as well since it's fuel flexible and large enough for providing for a group at a time.
We have the jetboil for bob.
thanks,
I agree you could put that into your tent to make it functional. What size tent would you be looking at? How would you manage the tent floor? Curious.
not sure yet, I wouldn't buy a regular tent for sure. Tents are for camping. I'm thinking something like a tippi tent or just a plain tarp with a collapsible pole, most probably no floor, for starter. ideally I would buy something like this:
Please don't mention the price. I would rather like to talk in terms of value and affordability
Ok, I'm liking this supplier...

I don't have the Volcano. I saw it at Briden Solutions and looked cool and looked at reviews. With the schedule we had this summer we didn't have much time for camping so I didn't want to lock the money. I already have a propane grill / stove combo and an old propane small grill that I've also used with firewood. I'm probably going to buy it next year. I like the fuel flexibility also and I like the fact that it's collapsible and takes less space when it's stored. I would have liked it even more if it had a chimney and if it could have been used indoors.
As for kifaru they are crazy expensive but I enjoyed spending time window shopping on their website 🙂

ng! I am planning on getting a volcano...great for camping or home as it takes 3 types of fuel and not much of any of them to operate...thing is is weighs 25 pounds, so not good for a BOB...Have a vehicle sun viser for an instant solar funnel oven in the BOB (cost $12 at Canadian Tire) and I am looking to purchase the jet boil Traveller & gcmountainman recommended

that's why I said "For normal times". I meant for camping with a vehicle.
I think the jetboil and other similar stoves are also good for normal times too. The issue I have with them is the fuel. What do you do when you run out of it? I want a wood stove. For light cooking on the road I would like something like this:
http://bepreparedtosurvive.com/Product%20Review%20-%20Vargo%20Titanium%20Hexagon%20Wood%20Stove.htm
or you can just use a plain tomato juice can with a few holes in it as air vents
I keep a Bushbuddy in my BOB. It fits nicely in a Snow peak cook pot. I've used it on many occasions on hikes because it's super light at 5 oz. It uses wood as fuel. The only thing negative is that it doesn't work very well in wind. But that could be dealt with by using a windbreak.
For around the house or car/boat camping i use a Volcano. This thing is very cool. Well engineered and great for emergency heating/cooking. Mainly I use it to cook marshmallows in the back yard with the kids! But if you had to boil large amounts of water to sterilize, this thing would be useful. It uses wood, charcoal or propane.
A small stove I use for camping is the Coleman Sportster 2 Dual Fuel. I wanted a no fuss single burner stove that I could run off of gasoline if I had to. This model runs on white gas/naphtha or gasoline. I couldn't find this in Canada so I had to bring it up from the states.
I also run a MSR whisperlite when I'm backpacking. Also a very sweet stove. Some service is required of these once in a while.
AS you can see I either burn wood or if i have to coleman fuel. Those stoves that run on those butane/propane canisters are not effective and not nice to the environment ( i see to many dumped along the trail or at camp sites)
Happy trails!
Hey Buggie posted a link and the gent mentioned a stove that can be seen here:
http://shop.biolitestove.com/BioLite-CampStove_p_15.html
Anyone by chance actually have one or played with one and can share about it.
Could be handy in my BOB as well as for hunting and camping.
Thanks.
I'm about to order one of these...has anyone here purchased one yet? If so, are you happy with it?
I don't have one but I have done research. It looks good in the short term but longer term if the electronics go it is just a can with a fire in it like a hobo stove. There is discussion further back in this thread.
I have one, it works well. It produces a lot of heat and can easily boil a gallon of water in 20 minutes. It is surprisingly small, it packs up easy and works like a charm. I am very impressed. They are working on a home version, one that would produce more heat and a bigger charge presumably, and it would be loaded with fuel from the front instead of the top like the biolite.
The price is fair and as one of my friends said, it is an awesome piece of hippy voodoo.

hahaha!! sold!
I built an ammo can wood stove. I love it. Low cost, high out put. I built mine for around $80. The ones you can buy at Princess Auto the stove pipe is too small. Here is a link to a build.
