OK, if you're interested in traveling light, there's more to it than just the weight of a stove. You have to consider your entire cooking set up. And of course, it's really sweet when everything nests together inside a small lightweight mug type pot. So, the inevitable question is: Just how small is it? And will it fit in my particular set up?

I thought I'd take out a few of my mug type and other small pots and give it a go. And just for comparison's sake, I throw in a PocketRocket just to see if the MicroRocket really is any better. Join me as the MicroRocket "Mugs" for the Camera

This is a good point! Someone smart could make a stove/pot/fuel can combo that fit all nice together. I'd buy it!

'Course I can fit my Esbit stove and several days' fuel inside a coffee mug.

May not always achieve boiling water....but why quibble? :lol:

Nice thing about gas is you can dial it down really low or crank it up really high. You can make an omelet or melt snow.
