Thought I would share my latest cooking set-up with the group. The whole set-up centers itself around a stove I found surfing ultra lite backpacking stuff. It's called the Cheetah stove and is a simple, cheap, fast, alcohol stove with an integral pot base. Really does need a wind screen, but this also speeds cook times by holding in the heat.

I then added in the rest of my cooking kit so that it would all fit into the cook pot for travel. This stove does not simmer, but with a pot cozy it is unnecessary to simmer. I know my kit could be lighter with a spork and get rid of the double-wall stainless steel mug, but those are my compromises. There have been a couple stove posts lately so this might spark some other ideas.
