I really like the Fosters can wind-screen; that's pretty cool. I have the same stove when I decide to use the iso-butane fuel canisters. Most our backpacking cooking is really boiling water for instant/dehydrated meals, and alcohol stoves are just simpler and lighter (AT-type trails). We combine any spices with our own dehydrated meals...my wife is the dehydrating queen and dehydrates a lot of our left-overs. One shorter trips or fishing trips, I'll pack along a Purcell Trench Grill and my small carbon-steel skillet for bannock, our chicken fajitas, or a few other meals that actually require cooking but it's easier to cook over hot coals.
My very boring, but lightweight cooking kit for distance backpacking:

I keep my folding Ti-spoon in my Kit Bag for easy access and stealing my wife's food

My wife's brilliant idea to keep from burning the hell out of your hand is cutting slits on both sides of those silicon short cupcake holders (they look like you're holding a set of teeth when you grip them). They're light and cover your hand since alcohol stoves aren't too controllable. Again boring, but the total cook kit weighs 8.5oz and 9oz of alcohol fuel weighs 9.8oz and is good four about 6-7 days depending on how much coffee you want in the morning
Typically we only cook one hot meal a day and it takes a little less than an ounce to boil two cups of water for a dinner and hot drink.
