no need for a stove at all.
I have not carried one for years for any trip less than 5 nights. You can carry enough edible stuff for that long (in a bear can) that can be eaten just the way it is. You will not starve. Despite what diet "experts" say you will not develop malnutrition in that short period of time. Just be sure lots of tasty salt in a variety of nabs, nuts, dried bacon or jerky, and so forth. If this sounds boring, eat two of Doug's giant cheeseburgers when you get back to the Portal Store.
Don't just take my word for it, see Eric the Black. Most of his list does not require cooking.
