I have one of these stoves:
http://foldingfirebox.com/I love it.  You can set it up for an alcohol burner, sterno, Esbit, Hexamine, woodburning, etc.  It's probably too much stove for just a stow-away-in-the-office emergency setup, but it's a really nice stove IMHO.  If you're using something other than wood burning (alcohol, sterno, etc) it's a really good windscreen and pot support.
