Luckily this little skillet fits my particular Sidewinder perfectly. (Oh, yeah, I cut the handle of with a Dremel tool. Pot lifters are a must for my skillet and 3 cup pot.

This is important when using ESBIT or alcohol. With wood you need to let some coals form first for a more even heat source. Hardwoods work best for this.
