You can use this set-up with a wood fire (you may want to carry a disc of aluminium flashing to prevent scorching the ground), or with an esbit stove or an alcohol stove. If you use the 1 gram stakes I used here you will have a set-up which weighs only 7.5 grams. The smaller holes you will need for these stakes will make it wide enough.

If you haven’t an egg-ring and/or you want to make the set-up lighter, you could cut the top off a tin can (one which has a ring pull) with a can opener which cuts around the wall of the can.
