I think you need to do some research into cooking gear.
Just off the top of my head, here is a two-pot set weighing 1 lb.:

The MSR pocket rocket is less than 3 ounces. Searching Amazon for "backpacking stove" returns several lightweight options.
Spent 7 weeks touring Spain with a similar butane burner. I doubt my Optimus Nova or MSR Dragonfly with full fuel bottle weighs 5 lbs.
I make coffee every morning when I tour. No need for a kettle. Boil the water in one of my two pots.
I'm am now suspicious about the "honesty" of this thread, so I am going to bow out.
