DIY burner...5g. Those thin 250ml sugar laden energy drink cans are super light & small. Easy to make.
3nights...90ml of metho. My bottle holds just over a 100ml. I mainly boil at the end of the day though.
Belmont 500ml pot, lid, windscreen, empty fuel bottle, burner, fuel cup, spoon etc...159g. Add 90ml of fuel...249g.
Need to look in the local supermaket for a shorter squat fuel bottle, if I want it to fit inside.
You could use aluminium foil instead of a heavier titanium lid.

You mean 30mls don't you?
Or are you gargling that stuff down like Melbourne Bitter?
The GWP is rock solid and tiny- no way it's getting crushed. The pot sits right on it. Less space for wind to affect the flame and jets, search HIRAM COOK BATCHSTOVES video from 2013. The wafer tin is light stainless steel. The foil being needed in wind and being so light is what stopped me buying it. Try that wafer tin in your cup. I think Monetta is the Aldi one. It is about 17cm X 11cm tube all the supers sell them under diff names. Already shaped to fit most of the way around your cup/pot. Use it full length for the Amicus. Tin snips (better) or heavy scissors. Drill some holes leeward side.crollsurf wrote: could be tempted by the gram weenie
....I'm always worried it might get crushed. Plus they struggle on cold ground more than other heavier metho stoves I find.
The windbreak I mentioned is super flimsy Lamont. Normally need to wedge a few rocks/sticks around it to hold it in place. The wafer tin should work better.

Compresses as I use it and fits in the pot shaped around in a curve nicely.
