Coleman 502 single burner, an Optimus Hunter 8 clam pack and a Optimus #80. All naptha fueled. Been making coffee and meals on these for 35 + years and they still work like new and heat up like no other stoves. Ice fishing, extended paddling trips, horse packing in the mountains or just day hunts, never failed me. A stove with a full tank and a couple of those skinny Primus fuel bottles and I'm good for a week. Tank on # 8 /80 lasts 1.5 hours and boils a quart of water in under 4 minutes.
