...Without open fire?
Think in the realms of freeze dried food and boiling up a hot and seducing cup of tea while sitting there, vulnerable and out in the open in the dark, dark woods...
Serious question though; what setup do you prefer?

For more than a decade I have used the very efficient Jetboil system.

can confirm it works great in arctic winter ~ -20°C.
This thing saved me when all the wood I could gather was frozen solid and my no tent camping trip almost froze my nuts and my soul off to the afterlife. That cup of chai tea was so so good… Never crack open your camping wine and drink the freeze distilled concentrated alcohol slush before you get a fire going bois

It depends:
A few days and light weight, an alcohol stove
A week or more and serious cooking, a wood stove, top lit updraft stoves (Chinese knockoff solo stove). Jetboil is ok for boiling water, but they don’t throttle down enough to cook fish or game, unless you want it boiled.

For boiling water ilfast it's hard to beat the jetboil system but you can get other cheaper systems that work almost as well and I find a bit more versatile for cooking and a whole lot lighter.
But my favorite is my trangia stove, it's not the most efficient, quickest or lightest. But I think it's the most versatile, you can fry some Bacon, make two different soups and boil water without having to wash in between.
Also it's cool factor is 11/10

Yeah, the jet oil does seem kinda crispy indeed, that trangia is more of a picnic table it seems :D

I like open fire for like roasting meats and a few other things. You can always cook on an open fire as you just need heat. However, to avoid burning your hands etc…. If I was outdoors and wanted to boil tea or water I would start a fire first and make sure it’s fed well, and then use the hot coals to boil so I don’t have to have alot of smoke in face……. Or, I would just throw like a gril grate over the open fire and place the pot on the grate.
I enjoy cooking on fresh flames. You can also make smaller fires with small pieces of wood so the fire isn’t as large but and more containable.
Sort of like this:
Or create a contraption like this
Great question because there are really so many ways to do it.
