Twig Stove
Re: Twig Stove
For cheapness, a home - made twig stove could be considered. There are many videos on Youtube describing how to make them. I've made a few variants using catering - size tin cans approximately 165mm diameter, including a rocket stove. Beer kit cans at about 100mm diameter can be useful as well. Ordinary size tin cans are too small and are of thinner metal than the larger sizes, so will burn out more quickly. The unused lid can be placed in the bottom of a stove, to prolong its life. These stoves can be very light and are great for temporary use. Note that the bottoms of these stoves get very hot and could be a hazard so need legs or to be placed on rock. To get a decent simmer, I use a 3mm thick metal plate with washers as spacers if necessary under the saucepan. Otherwise the food will cook too fast.

Notes
Remote gas is great but canister top is lighter. There is a reason gas appears first. It is what most people use.
The meths section doesn't include the most famous meths stoves, Trangia. Probably deemed too heavy, but they are not particularly heavy, especially the mini.
White gas is not gas, it is liquid! A couple of white gas stoves can burn actual gas.
Actual gas is a liquid too, but only because it's pressurised. It comes out as gas.
