Bike camping equipment, stoves
 

I bought a coleman gasoline burning stove a few weeks back (still havent tried it out yet), and stumbled across this ingenious little invention on youtube just now

nice... may try this a few times before I decide on a stove... but I like the Jetboil ones

My older brother is huge into super light weight backpacking, like weighs his gear in grams. He has a few stoves that he made that way, they just take a little while to heat things up.

I have a few friends who have built them. They're nice and light, but you have to carry alcohol and since alcohol burns at a low temperature it takes a long time to heat anything up with them.

I prefer my esbit for when I'm really watching my weight.

When I'm not so worried about weight, I love my MSR Dragonfly.
