Long enough ago that eBay is not selling any (as of now anyhow) and images.google.com didn't have any images. Which makes it tough to link to an image so you can show someone what you are talking about.
It uses the long skinny 14.1 ounce Bernzomatic TX9 disposable propane fuel cylinder that is still used for the little hand held torch. The two legs fold down against the tank for a stowable package no bigger in diameter than the bare tank and half again longer.
Add the four cup percolator and you can have tea or coffee just about anywhere in a matter of a few minutes."
NOTE: the stove made the weight cut, the percolator did not (I had to settle for a canteen cup). END NOTE.

Mine is a lot like that, except it is a two burner and uses liquid fuel. Awesome and cannot be beat!
