Not sure how much interest there will be for this, but I'll give it a shot, I bet there are backpackers on here.

Up for grabs is a snowpeak stove, the model is teh gigapower ti (titanium) with a piezoelectric ignition so you dont even need to bring a lighter or matches. This thing is ultra light for backpacking trips and works flawlessly. I had this stove with me for over 2000 miles ont eh appalachian trail and NEVER had a single problem with it, and I used it 2 or more times a day, every day for 6 months, and it still works the way ti did when I bought it I think it weighs like 3 ounces or something ridic light.puts out 10k BTU's and boils a cup of water in like 2 minutes or something really fast, but also simmers like a champ if you want it to.

I will also include a 250g canister (80% full), a windscreen a GSI pot (not titanium, but really nice nonetheless, not sure of model name) that it all stows away in and a light my fire sporkfoonnife thing. Basically everything you would need if you want to get into backpacking and need a stove. This is one of the best ones money can buy, and I love this thing. I'm sure you will too. Go to the snowpeak website if you want a little more information on the stove, heres a link, like I said its the titanium model, with the auto start and windscreen included, so basically all the bells and whistles. These things retail around 75 dollars I think, and I am asking $50+ ship for EVERYTHING. Stove, cookpot, fuel canister, windscreen, and eating utensil. You supply the food and you'll be good to go. I took the pics with my webcam so here is a stock image so you can see what it looks like a little better.

Thats a hell of a deal, man. What size is the pot, and what fuel does the stove burn? I'm typically a campfire guy, but I'd like a stove, but know nothing. I'm probably gonna buy this
 
^if you plan to do any backpacking, like where you cover big miles every day a stove is the only way to go, who has the energy to build a campfire multiple days in a row. plus if you are out when its wet, and want to eat something other than beef jerkey and gorp u need a stove. or you can ask a chick on a hike and cook her some shit at the top she will probably take your pants off.
 
and it burns a mixture of isobutane/propane in a pressurized canister. You have to buy the canisters when they run out (like 4 bucks and they last 2 weeks of heavy usage).

The biggest problem with this type of stove is that when it get really cold there isnt really enough pressure in the canister to get the liquid to turn into a gas and it doesnt work as well (something about vapor pressure or some shit). So if its below like 20 degrees or so I would reccomend sleeping witht he canister or warming it up in some way so it works for you, or you could get a white gas stove, but they are typically heavier and mroe of a pain in the ass
