Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There is nothing wrong with that kind of stove for summer camping. There are some drawbacks, including the lack of a decent wind shield, which makes using it on windy days annoying, and that you have to buy and carry extra cannisters (always one backup on a longer trip), and that it doesn't collapse into a small shape that can nest into the cooking pot.

So, I've always preferred liquid fuel stoves, and these days would use alcohol or white gas, though my 50 year old kerosene stove still works great.
