Coleman
4.6
(10)
"Coleman makes a folding one that goes on top of your two burner stove."
"Coleman are a very tried and true brand such as this."
"Get a 2 burner Coleman. Go through their range and pick the one that best suits your needs and budget."
"[Coleman 2 burner stoves] are pretty awesome. I bought 2 and started to create patrol-like boxes."
"I advice you a single burner Coleman 442 multifuel. Works on the most times, small, powerful, cheap in use."
"A simple 2 burner Coleman is great."
"Recently got a Coleman single burner and it does what it needs to do."
"Any of Coleman's 2 burgers would be great, if you want genuinely good flame control."
"Coleman 2 burner. Or if that's too large a jetboil half gen is a great single burner option."
"Coleman 2 burner, get the fill adapter and a couple 1# flame king canisters."

MSR
4.9
(9)
"My MSR Dragonfly has been an absolute beast for deep winter backpacking / snowshoeing."
"I use an MSR reactor with winter mix isobutane pre warmed in jacket in a water bath down to -10C."
"That's a great stove for a small frying pan (about 2-3 pieces of bacon). Great for boiling water for a cuppa in the morning, or water for your porridge etc"
"To be honest, the Windburner (equivalent to your Jetboil) is my favorite. Easy to use, barely uses any fuel, boils fast."
"Most efficient is probably an MSR Reactor."
"I bought a pocket rocket deluxe with the pressure regulator which solved that problem. It’s also way more efficient with fuel."
"My personal "shtf" stove is my extreme winter backpacking stove. It is the MSR Dragonfly."
"MSR dragonfly is what you want."
"I use an MSR pocket rocket and just a small cute kettle i thrifted for camping."

(11)
"When I switched to Gas, it was a life saver moment for me."

"Induction is much safer."
"One word: INDUCTION. "Been there, done that.""
"Induction fs. Cheaper, no hassle of LPG cylinder."
"Induction makes more sense"
"Best will be Rice cooker + Induction."

"I'd say go for induction"
"I would definitely go for induction in a student flat."
"Induction stoves are just overall superior to gas."
#5

#6
Trangia
4.7
(6)
"Have trangia one with liquid fuel and it works a treat"
"A Trangia is pretty much objectively the best stove you can get, but it'll cost you a pretty penny."
"We've always taken a trangia spirit burner for festival cooking. Really quick to cook on, goes out as soon as you put the lid on it and it has an adjustable lid to change the flame size so no burnt eggs! ... it will genuinely last forever"
"Trangia is the best, no question"
"These are fine but a meths cooker with spirits would be quicker (like a Trangia)"
"If you are on a budget, these will do the job. If you have a little more to spend, get a trangia and some spirits."

#8
Harman
4.8
(5)
"I have a Harman insert since 2008 and it’s great. You will pay more but they are built to last."
"Harman is the only answer. Not cheap, but worth the money. I have two in my house."
"The Harman is relatively easy to maintain. I’ve swapped out main board and igniter."
"Harman P61 is what I recommend. My house is roughly the same size spread across two floors and it heats the entire thing no problem."
"My neighbors son has a Harman P63 with extended hopper in his basement on a similar size home."

Alpkit
