As for the pot/stove combo, it's totally wonky. Dangerous at best. Ok, that's a bit extreme, it really is manageable. I really like it as a system, but it is lacking in stability. I've used it a lot with no issues, but I'm considering going to a nice red bull stove I made and a Ti cup that wouldn't require a protective container. Just drop the spork, fuel, etc. in the cup with the stove and throw it in a drawstring bag. Once again, I must save my pennies (for the Ti cup).

The redbull stove I made doesn't work with the Heineken pot because the jets are too high up and the top of the stove nestles in the bottom of the beer can and suffocates the jets. I was in the process of making a second one with lower jets to see if that would work, however, it doesn't look like it would fit inside of my container with the current fuel bottle... It's a constant back and forth. The stove I did make with the redbull cans is an absolute champ with a flat bottomed pot for boiling, hence the ti-cup idea.
