Exactly.

I use something very similar to the Churchill river stove, but a much simpler (and cheaper!) design. Essentially just a bunch of steel plates hinged together with wire (the simplest possible hinge: Make a hole, thread a wire, twist). It gets the work done.


I was thinking of using an Coleman fuel can and cutting the ends and one side out and then folding it flat for carry. I can fashion a grill to be used on top. Then use the cut off side panel to fashion a double bottom. Whole thing should weigh very little and the cost is negligible.
