Backpacking you probably encounter the weight problem, so here is one solution for you in the form of an ultra light backpacking stove.
One of the key things that makes this useful beyond size is excellent wind-shielding around the heat area, helping to guarantee you won’t waste time re-lighting the stove with every small burst of wind.
You can find the instruction for the DIY stove here.

A simplified, stronger, lighter weight pan support borrows one of your titanium tent stakes while cooking. (There is no need to weaken the wind shield by folding as other designs do when a couple of small holes will suffice.) Better and simpler method of mating ends of windscreens by folding coupling tabs to create a slip joint. It’s stronger, simpler, and there are no paper clips to lose. New spacer to make this work even better. Full height wind screen with vent holes only on one side to combat gusty wind. Also doubles as a chimney to help suck more air into the fire and get more heat into the pot. Three small feet to help increase stability on rough surfaces, like a flat rock, for example. Pack it rolled up in your sleeping pad (mine is a ridge rest) to protect it from damage. (This may sound flaky but it actually works quite well.) Rounded corners to make it easier to pack and unpack (so it doesn’t catch on your pad.) Trail tested over 7 days and 82 miles on the PCT in 2002.
