This is maybe useful for boiling water but not so great for cooking. You want your pot to have a relatively uniform temperature, and gas burns very hot. This means that, especially if the walls of the pan are thin, any part of the wall that has good thermal contact with combustion products and poor contact with food will get extremely hot, with various unfortunate consequences. Also the handles will get hot.

Well it takes absolutely forever to boil water on a camp stove, so I"ll take it.
Look into jetboil campstove/pot. It's got a heat exchanger fin stack on the bottom of the pot to improve boil time.
