Well I can tell you one thing so far, "now you tell me" hahahahah
[Disclaimer: modifying a stove will undoubtably void the manufacturer's warranty, and may create a fire or explosion hazard. Proceed at your own risk.]

But maybe not. Coleman sell's what they call a "Trail Maintenance Kit" and if the owner is allowed to replace the parts in the "Kit" then I haven't "voided" my warranty yet. Also if something happens to the stove and I can replace any parts necessary to make it look like it did when I bought it I don't think I have "voided" my warranty. But do I care about the warranty, NO.

I have weighed each part of the stove and will post my weights later. I agree that my Titanium from Thru-Hiker will play a big part in the Diet I put this stove on.

I will use the name for the parts as found in the Coleman Parts List for this stove.
Parts to replace with lighter ones:

Part list item 4 - Leg-Grate set of 3: Weight 62gr/2.19oz

Part list item 2 - Burner Bowl : Weight 25.2gr/0.88oz

Part list item 8 - Valve & Hose Assembly - 135gr/4.78oz - Dissemble and examine for any weight reduction possibilities. If you remove this and find some other way to get the fuel from the bottle to the stove I don't think the stove will work. I will look to see if I can remove any of the outter case of the valve and reduce some weight that way. I will see if I can lighten the fuel control knob.

Weight of Stove out of the box: 311.5gr/10.99oz
Weight of Parts: Numbers from parts list
Item 1-35.8gr
Item 2-25.2gr
Item 3-2.2gr
Item 4-Set of Three Legs 62gr
Item 5,6a,6b,& 7-44.3gr
Item 6c,6d,6e&8-135gr
Item 9 -7gr

PowerMax 300gr Bottle - 399.6gr


As a side note: Colemans idea of recycle(ing) the bottle is to give you a "Greem Key" to puncture the EMPTY fuel cartridge. The Green Key works like a "Church Key" can opener. I will turn my empty's into small stove(s)/parts.

I bought my stove at a local Sportsmans Wharehouse, they also sell the PowderMax fuel and a local Academy Sports & Outdoors store sells the PowerMax fuel but not the stove.
