MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Great Stove

This is a great stove for all sorts of backpacking trips. It is a step up from its brother, that only burns white gas. This stove will burn multiple fuel types. It is easy to use, easy to repair/maintence, and boils water pretty quickly. It is also nice because you can adjust the size of your flame so you are not scorching your dinner! The main drawpack to this stove is that you must carry a bottle of white gas with you. This adds weight and often times makes a mess. Oh yeah, it takes some time to light too because you have to prime it, light it, let it heat up, and then light the flame. This stove's best feature is that it is extremely reliable.
