What kind of camp stoves is everyone using? I recently picked up a primus stove from @FozRoamer at off the grid and love it.
Camp stoves

This is my current Coleman (okay, technically this is a stock photo, and mine is filthy and beat up, but you get the idea):
I also use a Camp Chef Explorer if I'm with a group.

Depending on who I'm going out with and where we're going I use:
JetBoil - Solo or Buddy Missions
Coleman Fyrechampion - Family Adventures
I just received my Tembo Tusk Skottle and I think that might replace the Coleman.
I'll know more once I start using it more. I've been using Coleman grills since I was a kid.

if alone I use either one of my MSR's
whisperlite internationale for non freeze dried goodies, its my only cold weather option I adore
pocket rocket with TI pot for my freeze dried deliciousness or instant food
or if with family or a group the old tried and true coleman dual burner

Whisper when hiking away from the rig or just my wife and daughter. Coleman with a group. But been practicing some "bushcraft" fire starting methods.

I use a Coleman Fold N Go. Dual burners that folds in half when storing so it takes up less space.
All of this talking brings me back to my days before the JetBoil took over on my solo adventures... I used to use an MSR Dragonfly and it was damn near amazing.
For all of you guys and gals who do use stoves like this, Primus is launching a new winter gas that will work in much colder temperatures.

That sucked. Hahaha. I was up at Mount Greylock in Massachusetts one winter and I was having a hell of a time getting it pumped and primed... But I had to eat.... So I finally got the SOB to start...
That's why I rely on my Jetboil quite a bit in that weather.

Jet Boil for fast and easy oatmeal breakfast.
In the Pelican 1650 I used to carry a Primus Atle single burner/large grill setup and it was great. I packed aluminum foil around the burner for wind protection and it's worked great after 7 years. Even the piezo igniter sparks with one or two clicks.
However as of OTG, I'm switching over to an OB edition Skottle from Tembo Tusk. It's been used a few times now and I really like it. All of the parts, including the burner, just fit into the 1650. It's a little heavier than the last setup but is super fun to use. One word of warning about the Skottle though. Take extra food. It always attracts a crowd and you'll win brownie points if they get to eat from it too;)

Without question my favorite camp stove is my single burner Camp Chef that uses fuel that looks like a can of hair spray. It is fast., reliable and works for the way I camp. This is a picture from when I had my trailer but I use it tent camping and will use it as I transition to just using the tuck as my exploration platform. For a single user it is great - heats a kettle of water for coffee, oatmeal or Mountain House (mainly what I have when out) in less than five minutes and has never missed a beat. I also have one of those little winged stoves that uses the cans of Isopro and I like those very much. I have several and one is in each bug out bag and in an emergency ration bag in the truck and I have used them when the power goes out for coffee/tea. They are not as stable but do heat very well.
I've got two different Coleman stoves. A little two burner that is newer for short 1 or 2 people trips and a Coleman 3-burner my parents bought back in 1956 when cooking for more people or elaborate meals. Both work great. The thing I especially like is they use same fuel as my car so that limits the kinds of fuel I need to carry with me. Another thing I have is a cast iron Dutch oven for putting over/near/in a fire or coals.

Hello! I have several cans of jellied ethanol, and I was wondering where one can get stoves that would fit them?
I have a stove that's currently being used as a fondue heater, however I don't really want to bring it overlanding with me. Does anyone know where you can buy something similar? Cabela's and MEC have proved unfruitful so far.

For $6 at Walmart you can get a safety side cutting can opener. Another dollar for a can of beans. Open, rinse, maybe a couple of vent homes with your drill. There you go.

That's a great idea! Thank you! I never even considered that.
I'll have to test it out and bring back some photos of how it works.
In the lightweight backpacking world we make pot stands out of welded wire / hardware cloth. Its light, cheap & effective. If you do a google image search on pepsi can stove pot support you'll get lots of ideas.
