It had been a couple of years since I'd taken the pulse of camp stoves and this thread got me surfing the 'net.
I cycle tour rather than bike pack (or through hike, an activity that seems to drive a lot of the lightweight camping market) and I daily visit at least one small village with some sort of store where I can buy the common foodstuffs of the locals. I see Jetboil et al is trying to do more these days than just super efficiently boil water to rehydrate packaged meals. Hmm:
Jetcook?
For the last seven years or so I've thought the Biolite wood burner was simultaneously cool and ridiculous. If it works for you I'm happy, but most of the campgrounds I bivouac in seem to be either gleaned or have prohibitions on foraging combustibles. 2019 and not to worry: Biolite now offers pre-packaged bags of clean, dry 'twigs'.
