Cleaning: I use an 8 inch square of plastic mesh that I cut from an onion bag. Makes a great scrubbie, dries with a shake, and doesn't register on my scale. A drop of dish soap in warm water is fine. Wash the pot, lid, and spoons, rinse completely, and please don't do this in the creek.

My fuel canister goes in the pot upside down, and the little plastic protective cover prevents scratches (and keeps tiny debris out of the valve.) My stove is wrapped in a bandana and resting on top of the canister with my lighter and cleaning kit.
