Lightweight cooking set up

[philaw]

This is my pepsi can stove setup, which is a standard stove, but with lightweight bits I made to go with it. The windshield is the side walls of two cider tins that naturally grip the cooking cup (top of an army trangia) because of their curve. The stand is two loops of clothes hanger tied together with wire so they hinge like a book and can be sturdy or fold flat. It works well for when you just want to cook for one person over a couple of days, because you can take exactly the right amount of meths, have the choice of turning the stove upside down to burn hexy tablets on it, and the 'hardware' weighs next to nothing. To heat up boil in the bag stuff and have the odd cup of tea I think it's not worth lugging around a heavy stove.
