I don't know if this should be in this thread or in the general section, but the moderators may chime in and move it if they feel it's better in the general section.
A poll would be a nice idea, sticky if possible - though I don't know if polls are part of the software here.
By my observations of what people I've camped with on the trail use, it seems the vast majority use a jetboil...they really seem to be the hands down winner in boil time. Second, I would say are the pocket rocket users. Next come other gas canister stove users, followed by the alcohol stove users, then the white gas stoves. Friends out west swear by the Solo Stove (wood burning), but I haven't seen one used on the AT.
I have the Snow Peak Gigapower Auto ($50) and bought the windscreen made for it separately for about $10. The windscreen seems to really help in windy conditions (all too common on the trail)... but I haven't seen anyone else with one even though they are supposedly very highly rated.
What do YOU use, and why?
