Can be a bit fnickity to light, with meths to preheat and having to pump
up regulary etc. Think I'd go for the convience of a gas lantern with
piezo ignition and detachable "clic" cylinders. The Bivouac stove also
takes "clic" cylinders so would be would be flexible. Gas runs out making
a brew, "borrow" the cylinder from the lantern...

Note the lantern chucks out a fair bit of heat make sure there is plenty
of clearance above it so as not to set fire to the shed roof...
