Jetboil Group Cooking System with 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot
Camp 4 on K2

Ranked #5 - Canister Stoves

We had two of the Jetboil GCS stoves going all night at Camp 4 (26,500ft, -20F) before summiting K2 in 2007. You would expect something that works so consistently in such harsh environments to be heavy, but the GCS is about as light as it gets for a cooking system. I literally depend on these stoves for my life, having to melt ice to get water. I do keep them well maintained though, which is easy with a Jetboil Maintenance and Repair kit, which I always carry in my pack. I love the hanging kit as well.
