Two years ago I bought my husband an expedition-backpacking stove that uses white gas, propane, or other types of gas; very small and very powerful. It is a bit of overkill for most situations, but we were planning a trip to Acadia National Park and took a large stock-pot to hold and boil at least 3 large lobsters in(4 nights in a row!) This thing worked like a torch-gun and boiled the large quantity of water in minutes. Since then, we have used that little versitle (expensive) stove on the picnic table for a variety of different uses -- but nothing beats it for heating up a large pot of water -- if you have a pot big enough! It all collapses to a very small little package that stays hidden in the T@B for the times that we need it Ella

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.
