Twig stoves use a portable steel firebox and battery powered fan to burn hotly and efficiently. They are fast to setup/stow and only require small amounts of wood fuel.

General cons of Twig stoves:

Tinder required for starting
Wood must be gathered and broken up
Fire requires constant tending
Powered fan requires a battery
Soot on stove and pots
