I am packing it rolled up inside my cook pot with the cook pot lid on the top. I keep me fuel, alc. burner, utensils, cup, and bear hang line in the " tube" formed from the pot, stove and lid. Mine is made of stainless, witch is a bit heavier, but will not melt like aluminum. I have melted aluminum shields and pot stands with my alc. burners, once in the field where i ended up having to make a pot stand out of a discarded canteen i found in a shelter w/ my fork and my mulitool. no more aluminum pot stands or shields for me.
