This is the stove I use. The stove, pot rack, pot gripper, hunk of towel
matches and my spoon all fit inside a 1.5 qt aluminum saucepan (thrift store
special) with a lid.  Total weight is 9.5oz. I am essentially a water boiler
and cook-in-a-bagger.  It is slower than other stoves I've owned, but it suits
my purposes.  Fuel can be found at any pharmacy or any store which sells house
paint and home improvement supplies.
