This maybe too old school but...
We picked up a pyramid shaped barbeque at 3 Vets in Vancouver BC that collapses down to a flat triangle shape thats 12" by 1/2". It looks like a hinged pyramid with the top 1/3rd removed when assembled. It can be used upside down to cook one pot in a downpour or flipped the right way up for easier fueling and heating two pots at once. The sides of the barbeque are angled to reflect all the fires heat right at the cooking pot. We also use it on it's side as a radiant heater under a tarp for people heating. We modyfied it by removing the un nessesary folding legs, widening the fuel entry port, adding extra air holes to allow it to be used upside down and using one of those cheap camping collapsing fire grills instead of what it came with.
We have just returned from 7 days of continuous rain paddeling at the northern tip of Vancouver Island and left our coleman feather 400's stowed away.. It is so thin that it cools down as soon as its emptied for instant packing away & being on your way again. We have only used it for one season and expected it to be just an experiment but found it to be one of the most pleasant, adaptable and light weight cooking set ups that we've experienced.
