I worked as a guide in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness last summer and used the MSR Dragonfly stove exclusively. The stove is labeled under the gourmet section of MSR but really no backpacking stove is "gourmet". If you want to get fancy you'll have to cook over the fire. We cooked steak, chicken, and burgers our first night out over the fire, but we probably could have kept them cold a little longer with a better insulation system.
