Quote I guess I'm the exception, but I like the coleman feather 442.  I carry two of them.  They're reliable and quiet. I love the quiet.  Some of the whisperlites, etc, sound like a jet engine revving up, IMO. end quote

I am with you, the Peak 1 is so simple and quiet. Mine fits in the coffee pot. I have been in camps where the the stoves attached to bottles were used but when they were packaged up I could not see enough space saving to warrant the hassle. Part of the Peak 1 is fuel storage. Duel fuel is my choice, the multi fuel would never hold pressure very long while cooking. With the duel fuel Peak 1 it is pumped, lit and pumped again and is good until running out of fuel. The tank warms up as you cook and keeps the pressure up. I find it best to fill it while tilting it so you can see when it is 90 percent full. The extra airspace allows for much better performance.

In Canada the fuel canisters are considered toxic waste and costs the parks extra money when left in their trash.
