Saving ounces...
I am not exactly a young buck (62 next month) and I think saving weight needs to be looked at with the right perspective. It isn't too hard for me to get to 10 pounds base and with some more ...

Heavy
I don't use mine any more because of the weight. The fact that there are other stoves that are as heavy or heavier is moot to me since I consider them too heavy as well. I may use it again ...
