I bought a coleman gasoline burning stove a few weeks back (still havent tried it out yet), and stumbled across this ingenious little invention on youtube just now

My older brother is huge into super light weight backpacking, like weighs his gear in grams. He has a few stoves that he made that way, they just take a little while to heat things up.

I have a few friends who have built them. They're nice and light, but you have to carry alcohol and since alcohol burns at a low temperature it takes a long time to heat anything up with them.

I prefer my esbit for when I'm really watching my weight.

When I'm not so worried about weight, I love my MSR Dragonfly.
