Late to the discussion, but my nickel's worth is go with a nice hot cannister stove and a lightweight pot. If you can, find one that simmers, it saves fuel. I find I can fit a small cannister, a cleaning cloth, and my 2.9 oz Coleman Exponent F1 inside my smaller titanium pot. Whole setup weighs 16 oz or so including a refillable butane lighter and is good for 4 days.

There are lighter stoves, like the Olicamp Kinetic Ultra Titanium at 1.7 oz, but it it takes longer to boil (way longer) and has narrow pot supports. Ever dropped your supper off the stove? Not a happy experience.
