Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System
Currently use it, can't necessarily recommend

Ranked #242 - Canister Stoves
May 26, 2004
The design is a thing of beauty and simplicity. Unfortunately it has some inherent safety issues. First the electronic striker does not always ignite the gas as early as it should, this can cause a flash ignition (I had my first unit replaced because of faulty igniter). Second, the metal cup/pot that attaches to the burner and gas cannister presents a real problem should your boiling of ramen noodles get away from you. As the boiling liquid spills over and down the side you risk scalding while attempting to turn the flame down, and you can't just lift the pot off the flame since the cup is locked to the burner for safety purposes. Boils water super fast, lightweight, and good fuel efficiency. Just make sure it ignites, don't ever let it boil over.
