We are old backpackers and have several of those single burner propane heads and cannisters. Always have one in the back of the pick-up anyway, along with emergency food and first-aid supplies ...so that's an option for us too - - but why go to that extreme if you have a 2 burner cooktop in the T@B ? Just sayin'

This is pretty much dedicated to heating water, since my wife is a gourmet cook and wants to keep the T@B stove available for meal prep. I think the Coleman single-burner puts out a LOT more btu than the built-in stove, so it heats up water VERY fast.
