What stove/cook set combo do you use

jet boil flash..  works great...

X2 on the JetBoil after multiple years with the Pocket Rocket.  Still like the MSR Pocket Rocket due to its size, but since I primarily need a stove to boil water, the Jet Boil is amazing.  Look for one on sale (Cabelas, REI's, etc.) and consider the Titanium if you want to cut down on weight.  I like how everything fits inside the pot.

JetBoil Sol Ti for me. Lighter and better burner than the JetBoil  Flash but not sure if its worth the extra $$$.
 
I use a Primus Ltech kettle and a Brunton Talon stove. I am pleased with it, but I need some sort of wind shield.
 
Jetboil has done fine for me...one canister will handle a week of breakfast and dinner.  Only issue is you have to warm the canister at high-altitude and cold...not a big deal, I throw it in the sleeping bag.
 
Pocket Rocket with a MSR Titan and a simple tinfoil windscreen. Lightweight, and everything fits in the pot. I get 10 days with 2 boils a day out of a 100gm canister.
 
I haven't found an off the shelf solution that I was happy with yet so I put together my own stove/cook set combo. It is a Snow Peak 600 titanium mug to use as a water boiling pot and a bowl for breakfast oatmeal. A lid for the 600 I found on the web. A Snow Peak 450 titanium mug for tea & coffee. An Esbit titanium foldable stove. 10 Esbit solid fuel tablets. A home made windscreen made out of a single use aluminum cookie sheet from the grocery store. Waterproof matches in a watertight case with striker on the side. An Optimus titanium spork. And, not pictured is a firesteel that also fits in the set.  I don't "cook" when I am hunting. I boil water for mountain house meals, instant oatmeal, and hot drinks. All of this nests in the SP 600 mug for a compact set that's 4" tall and 3.75" in diameter. The best part is the whole set weighs in at just over 14 oz.

I use a Primus micro Ti.  Love the size, and heats awesome with a new bottle, but once the bottle gets a little low can take quite a while to heat.  Big fan of the Jetboil just haven't invested in one at this time.
