What is the lightest canister stove and pot combination with the pot a minimum size of 550ml?

Thanks,

Can't say for sure it's the lightest but the Lite Trail 550ml will be hard to beat.

Per their specs

•Pot Weight: 1.95 oz (55 g, Yes Handles) / 1.55 oz (44 g, No Handles) +- 2g
•Lid Weight: 0.60 oz (17 g) +- 2g

Edit to add: Not sure about the stove.

Great info. I am thinking the SnowPeak Litemax for the stove @ 1.9oz

isn't Gnat lighter? But that would be tenths of an ounce so not significant

Well if you forgo the handles, use foil as a lid, and add 3.5oz for the empty 100g canister, you'd be looking at a sub 7oz kit. Not too shabby!

Before –B.G.– chimes in, the Snow Peak bowl weighs 1.8oz. That 1.6oz weight has been wrong forever.

Gnat stove 1.7 oz
Zelph flat bottom foster pot 1.05 oz, w/lid

but then the other factor is how much fuel is used. That could be significantly heavier than the difference between any of these stove/pots.

Hard to determine efficiency differences between different stove/pots.

The Trail Lite 550 specs the width at 3.74".

Anyone tried to put a canister in it?

I think the Olicamp Ion Micro is the same stove as the Fire-Maple Hornet? Lighter than the Gnat, but only by a few grams. Smaller burner, but more compact if that matters. No idea of performance; I think I remember reading about issues where the Hornet’s jet became clogged.

I have a Giga Power 110 gm canister and a Jetboil JetPower 100 gm canister, both of some vintage, probably at least 4 years old. They both easily fit (individually) into the Lite Trail/Toaks 550.

For feces and giggles, I boiled 16oz of water from my fridge (I presume 40*F) and burned .2 oz of fuel. I should have weighed it in grams but I suspect it was closer to .25oz in reality.

Stove is the Soto ODR1.

16 ounces of water = 1/2 liter – approximately

.2 or .25 oz of canister fuel to boil 1/2 liter is about what I get

".2 or .25 oz of canister fuel to boil 1/2 liter is about what I get"

Yeah my head was up my butt earlier. Meant pint and don't know why I kept saying liter over and over again.

I kept double checking my units, figured I confused metric to english conversion…

I sort of like mixing units, like ounces of fuel per liter of water
