There's a kid in my family who wants to go on hiking trips of a couple of days. Nothing really fancy requiring special light-weight equipment, but he'll be on public land where you can't scavenge wood for a fire (nor would they take kindly to smelling wood smoke) so he needs a personal camp stove for cooking food and maybe for keeping a bit warm on the colder nights.
I'm thinking of getting him a small one-man propane stove for Christmas. Any suggestions based on your own experience?
I've already got some reviews from this lookup, but I am seeking personal experience here from those of you who have a small personal camp stove.
