[pct-l] Fuel Amounts for Pepsi can stove

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

My Optimus Nova weighs 14.3 oz. Fuel canister with an average amount of fuel weighs another 14.7 oz....
BUT,
I can boil a quart of water in about 5 minutes (I've not timed it, but there's never a wait) in extreme weather...
And I can adjust the flame from blow torch to light simmer.

OK,  what's the weight of the MSR stove with a full fuel canister and an 
empty canister?  

A pepsi can stove and fuel bottle weigh what, 2 ozs?  Add two ozs a day for 
fuel.   Compare.
