Last weekend I spent a few days in the woods and I just improvised a stove. I had 4 stainless steel skewers and just laid them across the rocks around my fire and put rocks on top of them, worked great. I always use wood. It's easier than packing fuel. I have the kind of skewers that have the ring on the end so I just secure the ends with a tie wrap and clip them to the outside of my pack with a carbiner. I use carbiners for everything.
