Ah Orange bug,

I don't know what you bought for a Ti cook set from Snow Peak to make it 
incredibly heavy, but mine weighs in at 5.5 ounces and includes a pot which 
nests in cup which holds 10 oz of liquid.

That, combined with my Ti spork and Snow Peak's stove is a pretty good 
backpacking system.  The negative is the fuel canisters which can be bump 
boxed in the mail.
