I tried a JetBoil, and wasn't impressed. It was big, expensive, and heavy for a backpack stove. I use a small MSR Pocket Rocket type stove with the piezio lighter. I too hate digging out my lighter and burning the hairs off my fingers.
I use an MSR titanium Titan Kettle. The large fuel canister fits inside. It is short and fat (so more stable and more efficient), and very light. The lid is heavy, so I cut a piece of aluminum flashing and put a wire circle in it for a handle. I fillid it with one cup of water and put a dimple in the side to mark it, then filled it with two cups and put another diimple. I now have a measuring cup. I cut the bottom out of a plastic bottle, and use that for a cup. It nests inside the kettle.
For wind protection, I use an 8"x10" piece of aluminum flashing. A rubber band holds it around the fuel canister. You don't want the flashing to go all the way around, because it could overheat the fuel canister. I cut a small round piece of flashing to fit over the canister and under the stove to reflect heat. REI sells stabilizing legs for the small canisters to make things more stable.
For car camping, I have a single burner propane stove that uses the 1 lb. cannisters. Much more stable, so I can use a larger pot. Tractor Supply sells a refillible 1 lb. tank you can fill from your barbeque tank. Coleman makes a one burner butane stove that is very compact. My grandson bought one of those, and is very happy with it.
