Hi J,
Without a doubt the old Primus No. 96 is the best ever stove for actually cooking on. I bought mine in 1974, it is still going strong and it is all I ever use. Everything else since has merely been a "heat it and eat it" stove - actually bloody rubbish for cooking.
I have produced the following meal on a primus, in a tent, in the Cairngorms, at a temperature of something like -20.....
Minestrone Soup (made, not packet)
Fillet Steak, Chips & Peas
Treacle Sponge Pudding & Custard.
I have also made cakes and pizzas on a primus !
