They are only meant for heating water and thus probably not a viable option for an extended trip.
I have made one and keep it inside my ti mug ideal for coffee,tea chocolate plus while the water is heating you can have your boil in the bag meal cooking.

With no disrespect towards you 'little coke can' intended Stuxtttr, there is a huge difference between that and a Bush Buddy which uses wood-gasification process-
Of course, it takes a bit more time to cook with compared to a roaring petrol cooker - no doubt- and is not as convenient as it will blacken your pans but, provided you can find some wood, don't mind wood smoke and can make a fire in it, you can rely on it.
It gives heat and light and comfort too and people always gyrate towards any fire- great ice breaker and always good for a chat
p.s tip to avoid your pot being blackened- wrap base in aluminium foil
