Is this fuel refillable? What is the advantage/disadvantage of using this fuel compared to others? I am looking for the lightest stove with refillable fuel/cartridge. What would my best choice be?

This is not refillable, but the advantage is that the fuel is light and burns hot, so you can bring less. If you want a refillable stove, the MSR Simmerlite and Whisperlite are classic choices. Solid, dependable (my dad's been using the same Whisperlite for 35 years), they're immensely popular and it's because you can run them forever and fix them with a stick. They're not the lightest stove out there (that'd be the Coleman Fyrestorm), but the Fyrestorm doesn't have the reputation or the simplicity and really, the Simmerlite's only another ounce. That'd be my vote.
