A thin piece of alum flashing bigger than the esbit tab is what I have.
Weight is
maybe .1 oz.
I also use a larger circle of alum to put under my pepsi can stove, to
protect the surface I am cooking on (made it big enough that my wind screen
just fits on it).

The 2 fuel approach may not be perfect, but I will modify my approach as I
head
up the trail (I will modify many things this way).
