I have one of those MSR pocket rockets, it dropped my eggs in the dirt. I’d get something that sits low and wide if I wanted to cook. But usually I only use my Jetboil, and make oatmeal and coffee. Mine is too hot for cooking thick stuff like stew and chili but maybe newer ones have a better throttle range.

you can always cook over a campfire, too. I don’t know about where you’re going but any campsite in the USA will have a fire ring and a picnic table.
