I do the same, but carry a cut-off drinking straw. UL and all that! :)

Jul 19, 2015 at 1:46 pm #2215733I like mine for cold /wet weather. my other stoves are jet boil and vargo wood. I've actually owned 3 Sveas because I've gifted the 1st 2 to people who hiked with me and loved them. I've never owned a new one , a pump, nor the R model. They have never failed to light. I usually just fill the stove and can go for an overnight without extra fuel. When I do take extra fuel i only take 1/3 of a small MSR bottle. THe stove will fit in some snow peak titanium pots and the is a slightly larger titanium cup that can replace the one that the stove comes with, but i usually just carry the standard set-up in a ditty bag in a side pocket. If i could only own one stove this might be it.
