Those are good. I have a sol ti and nothing beats it for speed. However if your willing to work with alcohol, I'd say check out Trail Designs and some of their set ups. I really like the ti-tri that's they sell in the Sidewinder version.
Thanks,
James

All your question will glean is what people like without details about why the like the stove. How about a bit of information about the conditions you want the stove for.

How many people? Cook or just boil water? 4 seasons or 3 seasons? Simplicity or complexity? How important is weight or bulk?

Also remember you often need to consider the pot and stove as a system along with or without windscreen, cozy etc.

Agreed on the Kovea. Received it a few weeks ago. Decided on switching from alcohol here in Colorado even before the fires because of the drought. Wanted a low profile stove that would be more stable than those that sit on the canister. So far it has been a great addition to my kit. Packable, stable, and a quick boil. A good stove at a good price. Just wish it had been on sale when I bought it!

I really like my Zelph Colbalt. Cheap, simple, quiet, no moving parts and weighs 31g. Comes with a windscreen that weighs 22g. I use it with a GSI Kettle and 2 cups of water even in 35* boils in 7 mins. Fits inside the kettle too.

For more than 2 people, I have a Snow Peak LiteMax that fits inside either my kettle or my Microdualist with room for a 110g canister. I know those aren't the absolute lightest of the lightest pots, but they are a lot cheaper than titanium counterparts and conduct heat a bit better too.
