Folks
Looking to purchase a small/lightweight camping stove for those longer rides. Looking around it seems that the stoves that connect to the canister via a tube are more recomended due to stability, but the MSR Pocketrocket comes hightly recomended.
Also an the canister be removed from the stove whilst traveling/storage?
Any recomendations?

Use Pocket Rocket myself. Excelent stove and canisters are self seal so you can unscrew and pack seperately. I just heat water in mug and add teabag! Not sure about cylinder ones, look good with integrated windshield but I can usually find somewhere sheltered.0

After several failed attempts at attempting to light camp fires Ray Mears style I think I will pass.
Any one any experiance with WEB-TEXT Stoves, apparently they are used by the army.BeOne Frame, RockShox Recon, Mavic 719 XT Hubs, Elixr R brakes, floating rotor, SLX Drivetrain.

I've used a pocket rocket for years. Never had a problem. A clip-on foot can be used for added stability. Can't remember where I got mine now but only weighs a few grams. Web Tex are used by some HM forces. Quite durable but a little heavier than the MSR as they need to be Squaddie Proof.0

Personally I have the MSR dragonfly, it's not a gas stove but liquid. It comes with a 1 litre fuel bottle, pump, windshields and a carry bag. It also has an adjuster to allow you simmer stuff (very handy). When empty it can be carried on a plane as the bottle looks like a steel water bottle and it can then be filled at any petrol station at the other side rather than having to look for a store that sells compatible canisters. For a litre of petrol I would generally get dinner for 4-5 people and a couple of litres of water for tea/coffee, depends on how windy etc it is.0

Thanks for the input guys. Half tempted to go with the Webtex one as it is half the price of all the others.BeOne Frame, RockShox Recon, Mavic 719 XT Hubs, Elixr R brakes, floating rotor, SLX Drivetrain.

I use one of the Webtex compact warrior stoves for fishing and it's a cracking bit of kit.
Bought on Ebay for a about £11, fuel at Go Outdoors is about a fiver for a large and lasts ages but you can get small ones if needed.
Great flame and packs up quite small.0
