DustinV mentioned the Trangia kit. It's kind of neat, but not super light. Mine weighs 12.5 ounces, and needs an additional windscreen in the slightest breeze. The pot's a little larger than the Snow Peak set, though.

Evernew also makes some good Titanium cookware. I have the 1.3L pot with the regular lid, but they make it with a fry pan lid too, and also a smaller 0.9L version. When I bought mine, it was $35...I see now they're more like $75! I like the silicone rubber tubing on the handles so you don't need a pot holder.


Blimey Bill!...That Trangia stove of yours is actually super heavy! 12.5 oz is about 354 grams but my powerful 2700 Watt BRS-3000T Ultralight Titanium stove only weighs 25 grams (0.88 oz)! And the optional ultralight Titanium windshield to go with it only weighs 18.1 grams (0.64 oz)! So even when you factor in the weight of a gas canister, the BRS and windshield are still quite a bit lighter!


Put the pot on too ! 4oz around ? Plus the cannis5er 4oz?

If you want lightweight the cone systems or the evernew meths comes in a fair bit lighter at around 7oz

Mine cosists of a 6.5inch aluminium frying pan and double skin lid (8oz) trangia(3oz), stand (2oz) and a wind shield (5oz).

Could be lighter, but its robust and simple and it works in harsh weather. I like the frying pan does everythung the saucepan does, flat pack, fries as well, more efficient.
