I posted this in another thread that has since been deleted.
a remote style stove like this:

>>678480 2 years ago when it was best on the market price/performance wise, but it was never satisfactory. the pins that hold the container are too narrow to safely hold anything larger than a mug, and are never level with each other since they are all mounted at different heights be design.
The flame is tiny and quite weak too. A small flame pattern creates a narrow column of hot water in the container, that circulates poorly, slowing the heating process. It often took 5-8 minutes to boil 500mL of water, which is terrible.
The stove I linked to you will address all of these problems, while being more stable and safe to use. As an additional bonus, with the remote canister design you can safely wrap a windbreak tight around your stove/container to maximize the efficiency of your cooking. Special feature: in cold temperatures (less than 20F or so), start the burner normally then invert the canister. the propane gas will then be able to push out the butane gas that is liquid at those temps and would normally be unusable.
