Learn me about these Trangia stoves

The 25 is stormproof
Great for camping in the British Hills with wind and rain

Once lit, which is super easy, it will not blow out
Fully regulated with the flame control to slow cook lentils and rice
Get the non-stick version and I like a kettle so you can cook two pots of food and make tea or coffee in the same time

HEET or methylated spirit

I use the 27 for two people

Highly recommended
 
Mi recommendation is to look into canister stoves... BUT if you plan to go out in subzero temps... buy a canister stove which allows you to use the canister inverted. These are all separated bottle stoves which are heavier, but you cook closer to the ground which means it is easier to put a windshield on it, and you have less chances of it tipping over.
You can get a multifuel stove and use it with a canister or buy a dedicated canister stove. MSR and PRIMUS have quite a few different models. Some of the multifuel stoves have two valves to regulate the flow of the liquid fuel AND the gassified fuel. The Primus Omnifuel is one of them.
If you use liquid fuels you have to keep them clean, preheat them, etc. But if you use them with a canister... you can avoid all that hassle.
I own and use a Primus Omnifuel and I take it with me when I plan on melting lots of snow. If I only have to cook a few pasta meals, soups, heat water, etc. in a warmer environment such as a mountain hut... then I take a MSR Pocket Rocket. I am going to be cooking inside over a wooden table anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I sent my multi-fuel stove off to be rebuilt, so I'll have that for now. I also started experimenting with homemade alcohol stoves. Didn't realize these stoves had such a following!
