I just got through making my most recent stove project.

Stove: wedding tin type. Single 13/16" opening in top.
Stand: cut-down can of the exact right diameter to fit under a Heineken
24-ounce can.
    (A gift. No idea what original stove stand can was from.)
Pot: 24-ounce Heineken can, polished off to remove paint and fitted with a
lid
    made from another, identical can.
Pot holder: fancy bandanna.

Total weight: 4.2 ounces for my entire cook set.

P.S. I think that The Ultimate Freedom involves slightly more than a light
pack. Having said that, I'm looking for a skin out weight of around 20 lbs
by Summer. Food, water, etc. It's fun getting there, too.

P.P.S. I also know that Ptoey likely thinks that 20 lbs is ridiculously
heavy. I'm just gonna put a rock in his pack and help him out a little. It's
all good. *:-)*
