How much does your cookset weigh? A pound? 2 pounds? How about a complete cookset that weighs less than your current pot?
I'm still not sure I'm a big fan of "solid fuel" stoves, like the esbit stove below. But wow...they sure are light. And for that reason alone, I plan to continue playing around with it. I used it on a hike this past Friday, and it worked quite well for the one meal and the cup of coffee I made during the trip.
So take the kit on Amazon below. Total weight, for a stove, ti pot with lid, spork and windscreen - under 4.4 oz. Wow...that's light. Pretty sweet setup for the price.

Each solid fuel tablet weighs .5 oz. I can make my morning coffee with only 1/2 a tab. On a recent trip, I cooked a rice mix with tuna completely with 1 tab. So 3 tabs will cook 2 meals and 2 cups of coffee. And there is no empty canister weight when your fuel has been used.
So...3 tabs plus the above kit weighs less than 6 oz. About the only lighter option is eating cold food. And..your weight drops 1/2 an ounce every time you burn a tablet.
