Yes, I'm using just the mini burner with a snow peak 1.5. The hardware cloth, flashing, stove and lighter all fit perfectly in the pot.

I love the simplicity--no muss, no fuss and no moving parts to break way out in the wilderness.The alcohol ignites easily with just a spark from a disposable lighter, and primes in 15-20 seconds. Simple is always better. Here are a few photos taken in The Appalachians...
