You can go pretty light if you need to.

Does the soto wind master fit in a olicamp pot with a gas canister? I've see pics of the micro fitting in horizontally. But the wind master is taller I believe. How are you guys packing yours up?
It's a Titanium Jetboil cup that I dremeled off the bottom portion of. The Soto fits up in those fins perfectly. I've had zero fin damage over the past two seasons too, which has surprised me.

funny peripherally related story. A few years back in hunting camp a woman was talking stoves to a bunch of guys in camp. A friend's wife who was also in camp overheard her talking about her pocket rocket and joined the conversation. They talked a bit about how much each woman loved theirs, how they took them everywhere, and the colors. One's was silvery and my friend's wife was pink. They finished the conversation and went on their merry ways. Amazingly, through it all the guys in the conversation were able to keep straight faces. Priceless.
I have a snow peak giga power with a gsi micro dualist pot. Works great and on a recent trip I boiled water a minute fast than the other two guys with jet boils.
For max efficiency, I only run the flame wide enough to cover the bottom of the pot, which is about 1/2 open with my setup. Full throttle throws the flame up the sides of the pot, which is a waste of heat/fuel. I do the same thing at home on the gas range. Drives the wife crazy when I readjust the flame when she's cooking....I've been using an MSR Micro Rocket with a Snow Peak Hybrid Summit pot (about 800ml). Pretty happy with the performance and lightweight of this system. One question regarding getting the best fuel mileage from backpacking stoves in general: Are you better off running your flame wide open and getting quick boils, or throttle it back to say 1/2 or 3/4?
