I am trying to decide how best to brew up on the beach.

Living near much coast, I want to be able to efficiently boil up for tea
or coffee. Enough for three mugs. Not too expensive to buy or run. And
absolutely must be simple to light and use even in fairly breezy
conditions. Doesn't need to work in gales or snowstorms!

I have in the past used Coleman petrol stoves and I quite like them, but
someone else would find one rather awkward to light. So I reckon it has
got to be gas - butane? or mix?

This doesn't have to be lightest-of-the-light - only needs carrying
modest distances rather than up and down mountains. :-)

Try a Kelly Kettle. Then you can just use sticks lying on the beach as
fuel and sand wont hurt it.
