True. Just make sure you bring something to clean it with.

BTW, I don't want to make it sound like Category Two stoves are some disaster waiting to happen. They're not. They will take a bit more fuss, but if you are prepared for that, no big deal.

In a small baggie, I usually take, depending on the stove, a minimum maintenance kit consisting of:
-A pricker for clearing the jet.
-The wrench/tool for removing the jet and servicing the stove
-A spare fuel filter
-A safety pin (the tip of the pin is useful for removing fuel filters and "O" rings)

I will sometimes also add an "O" ring or two although I don't consider that quite as essential for field maintenance. A pipe cleaner for Category Two stoves isn't a bad idea. Coleman fuel can be used as a cleaning solvent.

For more remote trips, I take more maintenance supplies.
