Hi, Glen,

Yeah, I'm not going to bring the little case with me. If a pot made out of titanium isn't enough to protect a stove, then I don't know what is.

The little case can be used as a cup. I just tried it right now. It's pretty small though. I suppose you could use it to measure a few ounces at a time, but it doesn't seem practical to me.

That's a good point about the piezo ignitor not being vulnerable to cold weather like a butane lighter. I usually keep my lighter in my pocket (where it stays warm and therefore functional), but you make a good point. I'll mention that in my review.

I never buy the MSR 113g canisters because they are heavier per amount of gas than other canisters. Maybe I'll pick one up this afternoon just for testing purposes. The MSR 113g canisters are also a lot wider and will definitely not fit in the 550ml mug that I used. The will probably fit in a 850ml mug, but I'm guessing.

Thanks. That's what I'm all about.
