stove recommendations for thru hiking

[SassyWindsor]

I recommend a wood burner. I use a ti-zip, unlimited boiling of water because of the abundance of solid fuel along the trail, no hassles with the airlines. It's nice not to have to leave the trail to search for alcohol or other store bought fuel.

I like my Brunton Raptor.

Everyone has their own opinions, including myself. I was going to carry a Jetboil but once I saw this stove I changed my mind. It is light, compact and fit inside my cook pot along with the fuel canister. Served me well.

It is a Markill Hotshot - A bicyclist stopped at the shop I work at in Montana to get a fuel canister for it. To me it is a great stove - burns hot, is compact and the case even has a belt loop so it can be carried on a belt or strap.
