If its mostly for coffee, boiling water, and one pot soups meals then Alcohol is the way to go. You can buy it at a pharmacy, auto shop, paint shop, super market, and gas stations (HEET). You can even use booze if you feel like it. Very cheap stoves as well. I like my trangia but there are a number of good ones out there that will never ever fail, for life!
