Looking for car stove advice

Snow: I like the fact that it sounds like a doodlebug when its running at full whack

Agreed, there is something very comforting about that roar. Also early warning if anything goes wrong, not that it tends to.

When I get back I might have to start a "Stove p0rn" thread

Seriously though, while I own camping stoves that use pretty much all the commonest gas cans and run pop can alky-burners if I want super light weight. For long term (Van dwellers, Boaties or Off Grid) use you've gotta go with liquid fuel, large calour bottles or solid fuel. If you're mobile and don't have a boat or vardo, liquid (especially pump fuels) is the only way to go. YMMV

If I was sensible, I'd use my 19kg propane cylinders and boat oven on a daily basis in my off-grid house. I'm not sensible, so use a variety of paraffin pressure stoves from the 19th century onwards, because they are fun, economical, efficient and very reliable if maintained.

The bestest reason to do anything.... "I like it"

And like any prep- it's only a prep if you're competent in it's use, and know it well enough to trust it.
