I was in exactly your situation
2015 Lady Thru-Hiker . During several tests of stoves I was planning to bring a Cadara cone with the included 10-12 burner (alky stove) - mated to the MSR kettle. On the second to last training backpack, in the snow, I set off with the Cadara cone as the only source of cooking for me and Splash.
Well in the snow, and with snow under the cone, it consumed much more fuel then expected, that was OK but we were cutting it close. We also tried to get a campfire going, and that was not going OK, so I also did use a small amount of fuel to help that (it failed). I came to realize that unless I wanted to brings lots of extra fuel I would need to be very careful about how I used this type of stove.
On the last training hike Splash and I went back and this time I figured going back to the jetboil, she also just got her Qi-wiz firefly wood stove. What a difference. First it was colder and more snow. The Jetboil had no issue making all the hot water we wanted, there was no conserving. I even brought the burner into the outhouse in the AM to warm my hands which worked quite well.
The burner also helped get the camp fire going, plus using her wood stove to keep a hot enough fire going protected from the winds and also from the cold.
When winter was over and warmer temps came around I switched to a $12 esbit stove and bounced the Jetboil to ME. For a pot I used a 450 ml Snowpeak cup with Al foil as a lid. It was in reality short of 2 cups but most times was close enough, but sometimes I had to heat up a little extra after using the initial water. Splash during this time also had her wood stove + alcky backup and also a 3 cup Ti pot of some sort. and we usually hiked together, and would often share cooking, hot water and pots.
