Thanks. My go to stove has been the MSR Pocket Rocket (the one in the small red triangular plastic case). It weighs 12 oz. with a full 4 oz. isopro cannister. They say it boils 2 liters of water per 1 oz. of fuel used. It has decent flame control, it's worked well for me on shorter trips and it's damn small. But, the cat food can/alcohol stoves are cool !
