This info may be useful. I say buy/borrow one of each and stuff around with them till you find what you like for what trip you are doing.
Everyone has an opinion, so someone will always disagree with your choice.
The heat exchange stoves do help with efficient fuel consumption, but as always the variable may include, length of trip, food type, terrain/altitude, fuel mix, colour preference, brand visiblity, hard core points for older gear, does your expresso fit on it.... |
