Or you could buy the cheap 6 packs of butane in aerosol cans and decant into your 100-250g carts.
That gets the gas price down, summer only perhaps and depends on what you value your spare time at of course.
I bought a firemaple petrol stove in the winter, the lightweight one. Lots of plastic parts which doesn't inspire confidence but having used it at work a bit no problems so far.
But given you use fuel to prime it, and with the pot I'm using it with I think my meths stove uses less weight of fuel per liter boiled. And it isn't much if any slower.
I'm sure I can get a pot that works more efficiently with it, and adding a windscreen would obviously help, but I'm surprised how slow it is, especially given how powerful it SOUNDS.
It is small and light though. I may take it as a second stove along with a remote gas stove family camping so we can use two pots and redundancy if we run out of gas.
Bought for melting snow on multiday snowy trips that I'm never likely to take!
Be interesting to compare it to an MSR etc
