      this is a good point, differences in pressure and temperature might change the numbers. never take zeroes myself, i hike 24/7 so i don’t need a quilt or shelter 🥴

    the answer is “it depends”; it was interesting to learn for the Toaks 550 w/o handles that it takes several canisters-worth of burns to save a lid’s weight in fuel — that is, from a weight-efficiency perspective for trips where you’re only using a single canister it is likely not worth carrying a ~16g lid to save a few grams of fuel. i wish the stock lids were lighter…
