I have an alcohol stove that I made out of a venom energy drink can which performs well and I have no issues with it for solo trips. I also have an inexpensive Primus http://store.primuscamping.com/backp...ail-153-stove/ ...I ended up getting one for $25. it's nice because it has the ability to simmer and holds a pot well. I like that when I have partners or just want a little more versatility.

OT but...I also bought the Primus because the butane works in my big comfort item This lantern http://store.primuscamping.com/lante...ntern-w/piezo/ I really like this lantern, it's nice if you don't have a fire, adjustable, sheds a lot of light and is easy on fuel.

I haven't had a problem running out of fuel but my rides are usually around a week long.
