We're a big fan of the Jetboil brand and they have added the Jetboil Joule to their range. We have a Jetboil Flash which we often take walking and camping. The downside of the Flash has always been that, as the name suggests, it's primarily for boiling water — which it does very quickly — but it's not really possible to cook with. The Jetboil Joule, however, is designed for cooking.

About the Jetboil Joule

Jetboil have kept everything we love about the Jetboil and built on it. The whole system, including the fuel, packs away inside the pot, so everything is really compact inside the 2.5 litre pot for carrying. They've inverted the fuel bottle, which both allows every last drop of fuel to be used and also helps preheat the fuel for more efficient output — Jetboil say it matches the efficiency of a liquid/multifuel stove. It also has a new simmer mode so you can effectively cook a dehydrated meal or other foods in the pot.
