If you’re a gram-counter and fanatic packer, then this kit is made for you (perfect for ultralight soloists). It includes the proven Giga Power stove, a .75-liter titanium mug/pot with lid, and a titanium spork, all of which (plus a small fuel canister) nest inside the pot. The stove proved reliable in all sorts of three-season weather (even blustery conditions during Hurricane Irene!), and boil times averaged 4.5 minutes. $85; 9 oz.; snowpeak.com
