People keep packing way too much fuel for weekend trips

I see this all the time at trailheads. Guys with a full 16oz canister for a two night trip. It's a waste of weight and space. I timed my boils for a year. A 4oz canister gets me three hot meals a day for two nights, easy. That's boiling about 6 cups of water each day. The big cans are for groups or long trips. I switched to the small ones last season and saved over a pound in my pack. Has anyone else done the math on their fuel use?

Honestly, I still pack the big one just to avoid my own terrible cooking.

Is your cooking really that bad?
