This review is from: GigaPower Fuel - 250 grams by SnowPeak (Misc.)
It's good fuel in hot or cold weather. If you want to go ultralight though - suggest you look into a 'scavenged fuel' stove. You can make or buy a stove to fit over your water bottle that can burn scraps you find on the trail. Takes patience and more time to heat - but ppl usually buy isopro stoves for the weight savings over something like a multifuel. When you consider backpacking with any stove - you have to factor in the weight cost.
What do i mean by weight cost? simple. STOVE + FUEL Solid fuels are heavy, liquid fuels are heavier. Isopro is fairly light - but you have to pack the empty canister back out - and they are bulky. Although isopro stoves may seem tiny and light - you use a canister like this every 2 days for 2 ppl. You really don't want to have to pack more than one per person. They are also hard to find at various waypoints along the trail - unless your trail goes from REI to Bass Pro to your outdoor shop of choice. I use my multifuel stove for short jaunts backpacking (1-2 days). It gets hotter faster, can cook a lot of meals, and burns almost anything liquid safely. I don't carry much fuel as it burns just about anything in the way of liquid fuel. These can leak fuel in your pack. Depending on the fuel you find they can smoke. And lighting them is a bit of an art. Isopro for 3-5 days. It heats fast - and it's suitable to put in your pack with no leaking. The stoves are small and light as well. Scavenged fuel stove - anything longer than 5 days. Alcohol stoves can be used for short hikes - as can solid fuel tab stoves. I carry 2-7 solid fuel tabs or 10oz of alcohol in case all the scavenged fuel is wet. (less on shorter hikes of less than 2 weeks) But alcohol is heavy and the fuel tabs stink. Since a scavenged fuel stove (like the swiss volcano stove - an aluminum stove made to fit right over a water bottle) can burn alcohol, solid fuel, or scavenged fuel (and you can make a solid fuel stove that weighs about the same as those single fuel stoves) - my feeling is that the scavenged fuel stove is the best for long hikes when you can take a little extra time heating water for your meals.

best value but still wasteful,

This review is from: GigaPower Fuel - 250 grams by SnowPeak (Misc.)
I hate the waste and expense of using canisters, but they are by far the most effecient and simplest form of stove available to date. It is frustrating that you lose some fuel toward the end of the canister life due to loss of pressurization especially in cool to cold temps, but it much more effecient and cost effective to use the large 220 cannister rather than the smaller 110. Snowpeak cannisters seem to be the least expensive of the bunch and so I tend to use them for my SP Gigapower stove which is an excellent stove when its not exposed to wind. I figured that it costs less than 10 cents per minute of use which is not cheap but reasonable for the relatively infrequent use you get out of it. DO US ALL A FAVOR AND PUNCTURE THE CANS WITH A NAIL AFTER YOUR DONE WITH THEM AND THROW THEM IN THE METAL RECYCLING.
