Menu
when cooking for large groups, a stove that can hold more at once or have multiple pots going should be considered (Duel-Burner)
if guiding for groups where you are cooking for everyone else, it is likely that you will have to have a stove that can handle bulk amounts of food/ can have multiple things cooking at once
if you are just boiling water, stoves that aren't meant to do more than boil water (Kelly Kettle or Jetboil) are the best bet. If you are cooking food or sauces on the stove, consider something like a Duel Burner, trangia, or MSR
if you have chosen a stove that is light/ simple for ultralight/ backpacking purposes, this may limit you to a more simple menu
dehydrated, freeze-dried, or instant foods
