Me too. I've tried other alcohol stoves and keep coming back to the simple design/functionality of the Supercat.

Penny stove

Wow! No other JetBoil users? That's about all I've seen on the AT lately. Haven't seen any alcolol stove users lately either. Where do all you guys/gals hike!

[Blissful]

MSR Pocket rocket. Used throughout our hike. Great stove, except in the wind then it snarfs down fuel.

I usually use an old Coleman Peak 1 stove. It's heavy and takes some work to fill, pressurize, and light, but it's also versatile and I can get fuel anywhere.
I have also carried a variety of homemade alcohol stoves.
Sometimes I carry both, and boil coffee water on the alcohol stove while I'm baking bannock or muffins (in a Bakepacker-type rig) on the Coleman.

I use an alcohol stove by Skidsteer www.BPLite.com .

Last year I switched from white gas to propane/butane canisters. My stove is the Coleman Exponent F1 Ultralight which is similar to the MSR PocketRocket. In addition to the weight and bulk savings, the simmer feature works real well; result is better cooking and fuel savings.

....Had a butane canister stove YEARS ago when the canisters were pure butane - it was okay, but....

My first stove acquired in 1976 was ahead of its time in its lightweightness. A small saucer-sized stove to rest your cooking pot on with a burner in the middle and a black rubber-like tube for fuel line which connected with the butane canister. The canister was the exact size/shape of a shaving cream can. A valve at the end of the black tube was the turn on/off.

This stove, or rather as I recall the canisters, had a performance problem in sub-30 temps. Otherwise, I liked it.

i bought the sgt rock stove a few years back. Works great for cooking meals for myself, but my damn friends always ask to use it when im done. GET YOUR OWN!

The correct selection would have been "Other:" since None was listed as an option.

Maybe I'm fussing about something I really don't understand. Not really knowing the way the counter works, I understand one vote per log-in, so, if that does not apply to each time the same person comes back to view the poll results, forget my rampage. SORRY.

It's cool DD, good poll.

A large number of viewers may not even be registered, and thus cannot vote. Then again, human beings can tend to be a peculiar species!

Jet Boil!
Love this thing (minus the starter problem but they took care of it),

The tall pot is sometimes a pain but take into account packability and the fuel usage (mine is extremely effiecint) its worth it. I have thought about buyn the fryn pan also, just not sure.

[zelph]

First choice is wood burner. DIY "Globe Stove"

Second choice alcohol DIY "Starlyte" or "Ring of Fire".

I've thought about buying the adapter that lets you use any pot/pan. Their larger normal size pot is a bit expensive. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I'll go titanium.

[Frolicking Dinosaurs]

Vargo Triad TI (alcohol) is most used stove, but Mrs. Dino prefers to cook over a fire if someone has made one or if enough coals remain in a fire pit to do so (often the case when Dinos stop at campsites or shelters for late lunch).

Do have a Whisperlite International (hiker pressurized white gas) for winter use or if I've got some grand or great-grandkids along for the hike. The Vargo can barely handle cooking for two Dinos....

I asked Jet Boil if they would sell me just the ring, they said "no".
I also asked them if they planned to come out with all Titanium pots (the ring and pot), they said "no commit, we are always working to make things better but cant comment on what we are planning."

Jeeze, all I want to do is avoid buyn the current JB pot if a Ti one is comming out soon. Not like they wont keep both version available anyways.
That ring does make a big difference in cook time, a regular Ti pot would end up wasting more fuel - thats the only reason I asked them about it.

I'll wait on it, not sure if I want the extra pot for sure yet.
