This lightweight alcohol stove kit weighs 193g, skips priming, and runs on fuel found at any gas station. I'll be testing it out this summer.

While canister stoves are great, one of their main problems is the canister. You have to be in a location that stocks them or bring them with you. But, if you plan on resupplying or flying to a destination, if there isn't an outdoor retailer nearby, getting a spare canister can be a hassle. That's where lightweight alcohol stove kits shine. Nearly anywhere there's a gas station, you're going to be able to find a product like yellow-bottle HEET, which is primarily methanol and burns clean. And, local hardware stores usually carry denatured alcohol, which can burn even better -- make sure to get one that is safe for stoves.
