I have a small Kifaru stove and it will boil water.

It works well, but will really heat up your tent.

Really heats your tent. If you let the water boil long you'll know it!

I have used the medium stove to do that very thing for MH. I prefer a small gas stove, it takes awhile to get the fire going in those boxes and Iam usually hungry and dont want to wait.
