I am looking at Trangia alcohol stoves at the moment. </div></div>

If you can find a couple of them they are great to keep in your vehicle in winter JUST INCASE.
 
Re: Question for backpacking/hiking/camping experts

I've been using the Vargo titanium alcohol stove. We're talkin light weight, 1 oz.
It will do a good job if you only need to boil water or do some very simple cooking. It will run about 10 minutes then needs a refill. A quart of water boils in 7 or 8 minutes depending on altitude and ambient temp. A windscreen is a must, I use a piece of aluminum cut from a disposable turkey pan.

You can also use fuel tabs with it as a backup.
