Right now I am using a Heineken can pot at 1.2oz. Is there anything lighter than that on the market that will still hold about 12oz of water? I thought there might be an aluminum can that you would find in a grocery store but I have not looked yet. Thanks.

A Foster's is .88 ounces, a whopping 26% reduction!
And can handle 24 fluid ounces to boot!!
What do you use for a lid then?
when you use a safety cutter you get a free lid! (top of can)

Wuth the lid mine weighs 1.1oz
A 12 oz Heineken can will hold 14oz to the top and with 12oz there is enough room to boil, weighs about 6 oz.
How do you safety cut the lid off? I tried a few times but just couldn't hook it on the slant.
If you use a regular can opener (non-safety) on the 12 oz you can get a nice clean cut. Just use a minimum amount of pressure when you do it so that you dont dent the can
Check out this link to Skids stove ideas. You have to read on to the second page for how he does it. I followed is instructions for a perfect Heiny pot.
But by the same token wouldn't any 12oz pop can work, not just a Heineken correct?
