Best wind-resistant stove for backpackers cooking in challenging, gusty conditions.

This is the gold standard for backcountry cooking when the weather turns sour. By placing the pot exceptionally close to the concave burner, it shrugs off high winds that would leave other stoves sputtering. You sacrifice a bit of packability for that stability, but it’s a trade-off worth making for a reliable hot meal.
