hi jj
on my 06 thru hike i only used a stove one time. I made all of my meals before hand and dehydrated them and they a couple of hours before time to eat put them in my container and rehydrated them. It worked very well. If I ever do a long hike or thru hike again, I will do it the same way, and will not even carry a stove. jorgy 06
ps if you want more info just let me know
