Caldera Keg Clone

I dont have any information regarding stoves for you, but I wanted to make sure you visit another thread all about a MYOG Heineken Cone system. Lots of good info, as well as some posts directly from Trail Designs.

I'm assuming you're talking about using a Heineken Mini-Keg for the Pot (or Fosters, doesn't matter)? That being the case, just bear in mind that side burner stoves tend to not work well with narrow bottom pots. The flames go a bit too wide. Those two stoves you mentioned should work great. I've made both, I recommend the second one – it's a better contained unit (just one piece).

Whatever stove you go for, just make sure it is a center burner for that sort of pot.

The stove sold with the Caldera Keg looks like a single center burner with some type of double wall with holes on the side. Using that description the Cat stove would be most similar to the caldera stove?

the zen stove (chimney/side burner) is a fun little stove. I used it a lot before discovering the orion. I think as a chimney it is a very fast stove and should do good in the cone. If you can get the height right.
