TIL the Coleman 2-burner stove I've had for 5 years can't handle the wind at Joshua Tree like my buddy's Jetboil Genesis.
We were cooking breakfast last weekend and my bacon took forever while his was done in half the time, so what's the best wind-resistant camp stove you guys have actually used?

Oh man, I feel that pain. My old two-burner was useless in any breeze, took forever to boil water. I ended up getting a single burner stove that sits really low to the ground, like the kind with the pot supports built right into the body. That thing is a tank. I used it last fall in some serious wind up in the mountains and it still got my coffee hot. A proper windscreen around the whole setup is key too, not just the little ones.

Get a windscreen, seriously. I cut mine from a cheap disposable aluminum roasting pan and it made a huge difference for my old Coleman. The Genesis is great because its design blocks wind by itself, but you can hack most stoves to work better. For a dedicated upgrade, I've had good luck with the Camp Chef Everest, it sits low and the valve is protected. Just know that no stove is perfect in a full Joshua Tree gust, you still want to find a natural windbreak.
