Anyone use this setup? How well does it work?
Did you take the handles/lid off the MLD pot or do you use them?
How do you pack it?

I'm tempted to go with the beer can but think I'd rather go with something more durable that will last.

Thanks in advance! :)

I have one and use it with a gramcracker esbit stove. I think it works quite well. I didn't take the handles off the pot, but I do use a bandana as a pot holder to pick up the pot by the handles. I've considered substituting tin foil for the lid, but the lid is very light. Sometimes it's a little hard to get the pot up out of the cone. If you're just pouring water into a freezer bag, it doesn't make any diffenence. The cone rolls up and packs nicely inside the 850 mL pot.

You can save a little bit of weight with the BPL esbit stove, a Ti foil windscreen, and the BPL 900 mL pot with a tin foil lid, but I think the caldera cone is a bit more energy efficient and overall a more stable set up. The 3 legged Esbit stove and the 900 mL pot don't appear to be available at BPL anymore.
