It's also very compact--it's about as big around as a trangia burner, and little over twice the height (with the built in pot support). I bought my Mini Trangia at REI. Backpacking Light's review of the etowah solid fuel/alcohol stove lists 21 commercially available competitorsPublished weight for the stove is 8 and a half ounces. The lid snaps onto the pot for packing, but when using the lid to cover the stove while cooking, it is easier to place it upside down. This minimizes the possibility of a flame path directly from the fuel bottle to an already lit stove. I found the set to be a pleasure to use. While it doesn't have the indestructible impression of the Trangia (you could probably damage it by stepping on it for instance), it's only a fraction of the Trangia's weight. I bought my Mini Trangia at REI. The new version seems to fit together a bit better, but appears virtually identical to the original stove. Left over fuel can be left in the fuel cup, as there is a matching screw on cap with a rubber washer.
