MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
Seasoned veteran

I've used this stove from the southern tip of South America to northern Alaska. It works well with all sorts of fuel - from petrol to kerosene to white gas (best).
It can get finicky sometimes, but all you have to do is clean it out - which you can do in the field - or even just shaking it can do the trick.
It boils water fast and works best when you need a lot of heat - it doesn't simmer very well in my experience.
Get this stove if you're going to be at high altitudes, cold temperatures, or where you'll be using different types of fuel.
