New kit I put together today; Weighs 2.1oz

Aluminum cup holds 1 cup with ample headroom. Has plastic lid to hold stored parts. Has ridgeline for strength.

has titanium pot support that stores around the base of a Starlyte XL3 burner. Burner holds 3.5oz fuel and has plastic lid to prevent loss of fuel by evaporation. Pot support sits on top of Starlyte when in heat mode.

1 mini bic.

Wow, That is extreme, well done for achieving this weight!

What have you used as raw materials, and how did you make those neat slots on the put support?

The cup is from a can of peanuts. The punch is used by crafters. Got it from hobby lobby.

The kit can be used with esbit. Same pot support. Use a DIY BGET (Brian Green Esbit Tray)

Thanks!
Now I see that the slots in the pot support are the same shape as the ones found in blister packages. Is there a specific name for such shape or punch?

Thanks again

My wife is into crafts and she purchased it a few years ago and couldn’t remember if it had a name.

The pot support is titanium, the burner is aluminum.

I’m going to make something for esbit 4 gram tablets and see how well 1 tablet can do for one cuppa something using the same aluminum can.

I believe the industry term is “hang hole” and the punch has been referred to as a “hang tag hole punch” from what I have seen. The shape likely has a specific name, to which I do not know.

Nice kit, Dan! Reminiscent of the BD Almond setups.

The pot support is great – especially how integrated it is.

“The pot support is great – especially how integrated it is.”

I agree. I like that it is not directly in the flame path … between the flame and the water vessel. I recall Tony B. doing one of his tests way back where he was generating heat maps of different stove configurations, and he discovered that pot supports were significant heat-sinks.
