I have an MSR Whisperlite. Great stove, but I haven't used it in a decade. Between the Pocket Rocket and the Tembo Tusk skottle, my needs are covered.

Caldera Cone ti-tri sidewinder with a Koji alcohol burner is my go to.
Snowpeak Gigapower when propane is needed. Svea 123, MSR Whisperlite International, or Coleman 533 when whitegas is needed in the winter. Firebox or Solo Stove for a nice warming fire. Plus more than 20 stoves that occasionally get played with. |

I like the Jetboil for hunting trips since it’s usually after dark when I’m messing with making some supper before bed and it’s quick and easy.
I like a wood burner for leisurely trips. I’ve been using a Solo for several years but I think I want to upgrade. What I don’t like about the Solo is having to put wood in from the top. I’d like one I can feed from the bottom or side. Here’s what it looks like cooking some noodles with a grouse I shot.  Attached File Attached File |

I have and use everything in the poll.
It just depends on the situation. Mostly liquid fuel for backpacking, or hunting camp. (extended trips) Canister if I know I am going to need it short term. Alcohol and or solid fuel in vehicles for Oh Sh*t unexpected issues. Wood sometimes for camping just because. If I had to pick one it would be liquid fuel. |

Emberlit stove for me and my wife. Been using for last few years and endless supply of fuel in the woods. Minimalistic, lightweight, and easy to use.

I've tried other styles, but I keep going back to my 20+ year old Whisperlite.
It's heavy compared to more modern stoves, but it's always been drop dead reliable. |

I just picked up a Walmart/Ozark trail branded 4 in 1 stove for $13. Have not tried it yet, but seems like it will work. comes with an adapter so you can also use the 1 pound Coleman green propane bottles, a stand and a decent pouch.
review I was able to make the cannister stand work by attaching to the cannister and then opening the legs and locking them in place. |

I have a 20 year old MSR Whisperlite that still works great.
If I don't have white gas handy or just feel in a mood, I will use a solo stove. |

I have MSR XGK stoves that have been everywhere. I also have a Whisperlite International that I use sometimes. When I backpack, it is with several people for several days, often in varying altitude. I haven't switched to the little alcohol or whatever they are stoves, and at this point, never will.

Forgot white gas in the poll.
Lightweight weekend - alcohol Three season up to a week, maybe more - iso cannister Long trek and winter - white gas I prefer the remote cannister stoves. They're more stable, controls easier to reach and you can use a full windscreen without risk of explosion. If you get one that passes the fuel tube by the burner to preheat the fuel before it's delivered to the burner, you can invert the cannister once the stove is going and feed it with liquid fuel for better cold weather performance. |

I've alternated between alcohol stoves, mainly a DIY cat can one, and inexpensive canister stoves (currently a BRS titanium one). Really, both are fine and it comes down to trip specific details as to which I choose.
After seeing one in use I picked up a Trail Designs Caldera Cone & Kojin stove and took it on a weeklong AT section hike. I was impressed with how efficient it was but when stowed the cone is bulkier than I'd want to do a serious long distance trip with. I usually have 2 esbit tablets in my ditty bag as an emergency fire starter, but haven't tried to use a hexamine stove setup on a backpacking trip. |

MSR XGK and Whisperlite are what I use, since I always go with a pretty good group. For longer trips we take two stoves for a big group.

When I was chasing becoming as light as I wanted to, I made a cat can alcohol stove. Worked well. And an easy way to lose some weight.

I like flexibility and ease of use, so gas for me. Because I have a Polaris Optifuel, I can run nearly any kind of liquid fuel except alcohol, and I can also run canisters. If I want to do quick and light I can use a Trangia or similar alcohol stove.
Still need to find a wood gasifier stove but most of them tend to be too bulky or heavy to be practical for anything more than car camping. |

I gave up on stoves and cooking but of all the ones I tried I found the jetboil type to be the least troublesome.
