I've used this for over 25 years
http://www.centurycamping.com/stoves/trail/ & light it w/ matches. Got a new one on close out at Wally's last year (the "Century" brand is US made, they went cheap Chinese) for $9.
Been through the arguments over & over, but this'll out perform them all, especially in colder weather, doesn't weigh any more than the white gas stoves if you include fuel AND bottle(s). Plus I can REALLY cook (controlled simmer or heat fast) with it. As long as the bike or canoe is hauling it the slight loss of space doesn't matter to me, backpacking is different.
Now for those of us who are coffee nuts... try this...

look around the site for other cold brew methods. This is quick, easy, inexpensive, and makes a nice concentrate (just add water, hot or cold).
