car camping? take a real stove and an ice chest full of real food. it isnt the best use of fuel to burn up a bunch of those canisters.

...or take a 10" cast iron pot and do everything on the campfire?

i just did AZ. we had a real stove. we did take a jetboil with us. the only use it ever got was to make backwoods coffee up in the hills. we boiled water, and poured it into a french press we also packed. felt all civilized, dressed in camo, unshowered..sipping PEETS coffee. life was good.
