    I work it out by time. I figure that I get four hours of full flame on 1 liter of white gas. That is roughly 8 ounces per hour consumed. So, I simply think in terms of how long it takes to boil and cook, and I can estimate the amount of white gas needed.

    White gas is a lot cheaper than other fuels, except for wood twigs. For groups or for lots of snow melting, that might be important.

    Kevin…..did we ever set you up with the Inferno version of the Ti-Tri. For wood fires, works much better than the standard Ti-Tri.

    Yes. It worked well but I didn't care for the sharp edges on the screen. If the screen could be reworked to have smoother edges AND fit inside of the plastic tube it would be a better system.

    Got it….assuming the "screen" you are referring to is the "grate"…..should be no problem. As to fitting in the tube….it is kinda designed to fit in the pot…..depending on the pot/mug size, some will go in the Caddy…..
