Recommend Optimus Nova. The base (legs extended) wide enough and sturdy
enough to handle an 8-10 qt pot. Puts put plenty of heat but also
simmers very well. I've had one for two years (two 50 milers, numerous
campouts and weekend backpacking trips and haven't had a problem with
it. A friend of mine also bought one and the only issue he's had is
when it clogged due to contaminated fuel. We changed the inline filter
and it worked fine.
