Pro tip: That cheap camp stove from the big box store almost caused a fire last weekend

I was cooking breakfast at Lake Hope State Park when the fuel line started leaking right near the flame. Had to kick it into the dirt and eat cold granola, so now I'm wondering what brands people trust for a reliable backpacking stove under $60.

My Optimus Crux got soaked in rain and still fired right up.

Wait, you just left it sitting out in the rain? Like you didn't even try to cover it up or anything? That's wild to me because I've had cheap stoves die from just a little morning dew on the burner.
