| Trail Designs Caldera Cone Stove for MSR 1.0L Titan Pot |
 |
This is a revolutionary approach to alcohol stove cookery. Trail DesignsTM has developed a cone and stove system that is tuned to specific pots to create the most efficient alcohol stove system in the known universe.
By completely enclosing the pot and stove within the Caldera Cone, and fine tuning the alcohol stove (included) to work in that environment, we are now able to milk every last BTU out of your fuel and funnel it onto all sides of your pot. Not only does the cone system optimize your fuel usage, we also eliminate the need for a pot stand by supporting the pot from the top of the cone.....and its wide base provides the most stable system on the market. And if that weren't enough, by totally enclosing the pot and stove, nothing performs better in the wind. Period. The Caldera Cone unfolds to pack flat or you can roll it up for easy storage.
This latest version of the Caldera Cone features a bomb-proof dovetail closure mechanism, venting that is biased to one side so you can block the wind better, and is made of lighter weight material. As always, the Caldera System includes the cone, custom tuned stove, and fuel bottle.
TGO magazine review (January 2008):
TGO magazine contributor Chris Townsend reviewed a range of Methylated Spirit stoves and made these comments:
'One model stands out in this collection: the Caldera Stove. This system combines excellent wind resistance, fueld efficiency, ease of use and ultralight weight, nothing else compares with it. .....shows that for maximum performance a meths stove needs to be part of a system that works together..
...to maximise fuel efficiency you need to use exactly the right amount of meths when cooking on these stoves, so a small measuring cup or a measuring bottle with a narrow spout is essential. A pot cosy is very useful for saving fuel too and also because simmering is difficult or impossible with with most meths stoves. Equip yourself with the right accessories and meths can provide an efficient means of cooking outdoors uninterrupted by the noisy roaring you'd expect from other types of fuel.'
