There are many factors in searching for that perfect stove, and this configuration is about as good as it can get. It's compact, quiet, fast-to-assembly and put-away, stable and safe. Weighing in at 8.4oz/240g (stove+stand), this may not be the lightest option, but the extra weight helps it dissipates heat which prevents the base and the gas canister from getting too dangerously hot, thus, it's relatively very safe. The 8oz $2 gas canister is also about 8oz, so the total weight for this configuration is about 1 lb or about 500 grams (0.5kg).
