Cooking over an open fire could reveal your location so a small steady flame may be better.
Try this... using Antacid Tablets, Vinegar and Rubbing Alcohol.
Note the alcohol can also be used for first aid.

Home made Sterno.
Gas can also be jelled with easy to find products

This is something I have been working on, we now have a small portable grill with several bottles of propane, also got one of those mini camping butane stoves with several spare bottles. Also made a few of the pop can stoves and enough fuel for a week with those. We have tried all of them making sure everything will work, and I would have to say the pop can stoves would have to be a last resort as they don't seem to last long enough to be very productive unless your just boiling 1 cup of water.

Don't get me wrong, I have a great setup so I don't need to build a fire all the time

Brewed up some coffee with sterno tablets in a pit like that many times

Trioxane or Esbit tablets are good to carry for the above reasons, but I think even more importantly in case you have to make a fire in wet conditions.
