Short answer: the lightest complete stove-and-pot kit whose total SilverAnt states is its stove and cup kit at 199.4 g, before fuel. A gas stove with a 750 ml pot adds up to 241 g by our sum. SilverAnt states no weight for fuel, because it does not sell any. Fuel is often the heaviest part of a kit on a longer trip, so the builder below leaves it blank for you.
Build your kit
Every weight below is a number SilverAnt states in its own page text, read 2026-10-20. Nothing here is measured by us. If a store gives no weight, the box is left for you to fill.
Total: 0 g (0.00 oz).
An alcohol stove needs a pot stand and, in wind, a windshield. SilverAnt sells the stove, a cross stand and a windshield together; its page gives 101.4 g for the three (48 + 17.4 + 36), which matches the parts. The SilverTi gas stove needs a canister, which SilverAnt does not sell or weigh.
Ready-made kits, stated and summed
| Kit | Total without fuel | How we got it | Fuel type |
|---|---|---|---|
| SilverAnt stove and cup kit | 199.4 g | Stated total on its page: stove, stand, windshield, 500 ml cup. The cup nests the stove and stand; the windshield wraps the cup. | Alcohol, solid fuel tablets or petrol (SilverAnt's words) |
| SilverTi + 750 ml pot | 241 g | Our sum: 102 + 139. The pot was listed sold out. | Butane/propane canister, not included |
| SilverTi + 2-piece set | 405 g | Our sum: 102 + 303. | Butane/propane canister, not included |
| Toaks CS-04 (900 ml pot) | 170 g | Toaks' stated total, with stove, stand and mesh sack. | Alcohol |
| Toaks CS-01 (solid fuel) | 109 g | Toaks' stated total, with pot, stove and a spork. | Solid fuel |
What the stated numbers do not tell you
- Fuel. Not stated. The alcohol stove has a "safe capacity of 60 ml" of fuel; that is volume, not weight, and says nothing about how long it burns.
- Boil time. SilverAnt states none for either stove. Toaks states about 2 minutes 20 seconds for 500 ml on its titanium gas stove "under calm conditions" and 5 minutes 30 seconds for 475 ml on its alcohol stove at 75 F. Different makers, different tests, and both are the makers' own figures.
- Canister fit. The SilverTi page says "all Butane gas canisters" in one place and "standard screw-on butane/propane fuel canisters" in another. It does not name a thread standard.
- Stove and pot size. The SilverTi opens to a 120 mm support surface. A pot much wider than that may not sit steady. The page says it is stable; we have not tried it.
The simpler option
If you only boil water on short trips, the lightest kit is one stove, one cup you also drink from, and no pot. The 500 ml cup in the SilverAnt kit does exactly that. If you cook for two, take the pot you own.
