Also, as far as sterno goes I don't think it has a very good heating capacity to the ounce. Unfortunately I don't have a pointer to this fact at the moment. I...
I've pursued the idea of a lighter weight mug using a beer can. I made 2 so far. For reference, my titanium mug with a handle weighs 2.3 oz, and holds 12...
