I quit  using  stove on summer hikes years ago. My 2000, 04, 06 PCT  hikes  
were all done without a stove. This is for both weight and time  reasons.  I 
won't deny that there have been times I really would liked to have  had  a stove 
(sub freezing weather), but overall it has worked for  me,  however I realize 
it is not for everyone.  Scott

I am going stoveless too.  At least I am going to try  it.  One reason is 
that I am tired of looking at all the stove options and  fuels.  I just got worn 
down thinking about it and decided to dump the  whole idea and save weight and 
trouble.  Plus, there are so many cook  free choices now.  It is amazing the 
variety you have now without  cooking.
 
And of course, doing this fits into my lazy maximum goof off hiking  
philosophy.
