There is a story behind my decision to use the Coleman Feather as an example. My onetime lady hiking partner saw my MSR stove and freaked thinking it was too complicated to set up. Between trips she bought a 442 and insisted we use it next trip - we did and we were both happy with the performance. I would almost swear she was even smug about it. If you need to describe it, a 1 lb. can of coffee is about the same size and weight. It fact you could probably disguise it in a coffee can if the needs arises.
One option for cooling is those thermoelectric coolers for use in car trips like this example:

Instead of running the car all the time, you could consider solar. Regular panels able to supply enough power are bulky but here are roll up solar panels like these:

The cooler requires 36W according to the specs so you would need to get 40W of panels which gets expensive. These are portable you can take them where ever and should last at least 10 yrs. Just remember THIEVES will find them just as portable.
