Something that does not look like your water bottle. Use the Heet
bottle, or a 16 oz pop/water bottle. Some people like to use a pop
bottle with a red cap to make it obvious that it isn't your water bottle.

If you are cooking for 3, you may want to make plans in case your group
breaks up at some point on the trail. I would suggest everyone carry
their own fuel. If you do that, nobody should ever have to carry more
than 16 ounces. Depending on how many hot meals you prepare each day, 12
ounce capacity per person may be plenty.
