Congradulations on your trip!!
Withm, I just finished a self contained trip, and used a Jetboil stove. It's easy to use, and the mug that the water boils in can double as a dish to either drink out of use as a dish for the meal that you just cooked. I've used it for many backpacking trips, and really like it.
Sorry to hijack the thread, simply wanted to answer a question.
