I once had a white gas backpack stove valve break while I was adjusting it. It lit my hand on fire causing first and second degree burns.
We were running sort of a figure eight trail so we were close enough to our cars that a friend was able to drive me into town for extra first aid supplies. ( I didn’t have enough for multiple days of treatment.
I called my wife when we got into cell range. Since she wasn’t expecting to hear from me for a week she was a bit concerned. I said “I have good news and bad news. The good news is I get to buy a new camp stove.”
BTW, you can buy a refill attachment at Harbor freight to refill your propane cylinders.
Backpack stove wise, American and European manufactured stoves are pretty good. Primus is probably to best known and has had a hundred something years to get their gas stove just right. MSR and Optimus are well thought of for backpacking stoves.
Coleman white gas stoves and lanterns also use 100 something year old tech and are simple and proven. Gas is more finicky to start up than propane but mechanically gas stoves just work better. One reason is because Chinese crappy manufacturing has captured the low $$$ end for propane devices. High end and expensive propane stoves such as Partner are pretty rugged.
Japanese manufactures Soto and Snow Peak have started marketing in the US the last few years. Excellent quality and pricey.
For my camping, I use Coleman for stove and lighting. Usually the roll up table is setup with the stove and water jerry can on top before the tent goes up. Lol... For a portable stove, I use a basic alcohol stove. Nothing fancy and near impossible to destroy. Age and knees have caught up to me and backpacking is not something I can do any more so gear weight and size is not particularly important to me. Reliability and predictability are paramount though. Also, KISS is always in mind. Keep It Simple Stupid!!!
