Esbit stove
Depening on your needs an Esbit (heat tab) stove works well. I too entered into the fast packing style of camping and tried out the Esbit. The tabs weigh an ounce each and will heat a cup of water at sea level in 8 minutes. Not a world record. They are easy to travel with, light and all you need is a match or lighter to get them going. Most of the food I cook is add hot water type so this works well for that applacation. I tend to have a small chunk left over which can be used to light up fires when needed. Another benefit is that you consume weight as you go unlike the cannister stoves where you are left carrying the can for your whole trip. I made a wind screen, pot holder combo that weighs about two ounces. If you buy the stove I believe they are less than 7 bucks with 6 tabs included.
