I would be interested in hearing what choice of stove people have on here.

I will start, I have tried gas and tried liquid fuel and hand down always go with liquid and my favourite stove is my MSR XGK EX (Always go with me) and second is MSR Dragonfly.

I do carry a gas stove on the rare occasion as emergency but rarely have I needed it.

So what does everyone else use.

Ambiguous question.
I use and carry the MSR XGK-EX myself, I use and carry the MSR Pocket Rocket on occasion The Wasp is my emergency stove But my favourite stove is the old Primus/Optimus 111B with the silent burner or the Optimus Hiker iteration

My sentimental favourite is the old Optimus 99 which I bought years ago at a garage sale in Geelong for $0.50. Must get it out and use it again.

My knees and back prefer me to be as ultralight as possible. I have used a Trangia in the past but not for a long time. I think they are good stoves but, heavy. So I have 2 small upright gas stoves. My default choice is a Kovea Camp 4 Titanium that I bought 2nd hand hand for about $30. The piezo ignition hasn't worked for ages so it gets started with matches. Otherwise it has proved reliable and I love how small and light it is.

For me it depends on the situation. I love my Trangia, Jetboil and my Primus Omnifuel.

rurik, what do you think of the Jetboil in relation to the amount of fuel it uses ? I have considered trying one but not sure on how much they consume.

I have MSR Whisperlite, Dragonfly and Pocket Rocket in my stoves collection. Also a Snowpeak Gigapower BF gas stove and a Clickstand alcohol stove.

The one I use is a Kovea Spider.

My cheap little Aldi job does me. Any walk over 3 days I go back to fire and billy for the sake of weight.

I haven't done any comparative tests on it so could not say for certain. However my old Jetboil Ti was super efficient on fuel but I only ever used it for boiling water. I have the new mini mo now but haven't really given it a work out to give you a well thought out opinion. However to date it seems to be just as efficient as the Ti.
