I’ve made more lightweight stoves than I should have but my favourite is the Penny Alcohol Stove (http://www.csun.edu/~mjurey/penny.html) and that’s not just because it has the somewhat engaging word ‘alcohol’ in the title. It’s a clever piece of kit that just lasts and lasts. It’s so darn light that if I’m the only person on the hike taking a stove, I’ll take two of the little devils just to be on the safe side (both fit inside my brew mug).
I was never happy with the pot stand so I designed / made my own using a disposable barbeque tray (http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/gallery/images.asp?sp=&v=1&UAbN=2323).
Then I wasn’t happy with the stand (being of the weakest, naffest, lowest quality steel on the planet), so I had it electroplated by a mate of mine. It’s now far more heat / rust resistant.
From the pics, you can see my excellent <ahem> attempt at a cook pot as well. It’s actually an Ikea desk tidy with a lid that I cut from a sheet of stainless (I made one for my mug as well - it keeps the leaf litter out of my vodka). I just can’t justify an Alpkit titanium cook pot.
Yet.
Jobs a good ‘un!
