Lightweight mobile burners. Heating food while hiking isn’t mandatory but certainly makes the evening meal something to look forward to. Even if you only use it to make a hot drink it is an important ritual to include in your daily routine.
I currently have the Kovea Titanium Ultralight but am waiting for a Esbit titanium hexamine stove to arrive in the mail from Poland.
For the cheapest light weight solution make you own alcohol stove from a coke can. Next best value get a hexamine stove kit.
Below is a list of options for hiking.

| Hexamine stoves |  | Solid fuel hexamine stoves are probably the cheapest light weight cooking solution going. It’s probably a good idea to start with this style of stove if you have limited funds. These are what we used to carry in the army reserve. They work fine. Remember the matches. These probably perform better in wind than the ultralight Esbit version below. |
| Kovea Solo |  | Dimensions: 57 x 57 x 100 mm Ignition: One touch Piezo piece Consumption: 127 g/h round burner head makes flame even Weight: 124 g |

I paid $69 AUD delivered in Brisbane. There are some stoves that are a bit lighter and the Kovea Supalite is a little lighter again – but without the piezo ignition. I think 28 grams for a lighter is worth it. I use this stove on the smallest size resealable Coleman gas cylinder and it was very stable with a small kettle or 3 litre sauce pan on top. Boiled water very quickly, easy to set up, folds away nicely into a soft drawstring bag to go back inside the kettle for safe keeping. A great buy. |
| Monatauk Gnat |  | 11,000 BTU 1.6 ounces (48 grams) 2.25″ x 2.25″ x 2.5″ (folded) 3″ x 3″ x 3.25″ (case) |

| Nordisk Titaninium Esbit Stove |  | 13 g Hexamine Stove. This is probably the lightest kit you can get if you take the fuel weight into consideration also. The gas stoves are much heavier because of the fuel canister. |
