Hello,
I should soon be a new "hot-tent" user with a cylinder stove.
Does it exist a pot with a "semi concave" bottom to fit the cylinder ?
Thanks
Samuel

I tried that several years ago. The thought was to increase surface area. It worked, sort-of. But, it trapped a "puddle" of heated air, forcing some wame warmer air out and around the bottom. Overall, it didn't work that well. A "Fresnell" style bottom worked far better without trapping a puddle.
What diameter is the stove body?
about 7.5".
I bent my evernew ti pot to form a slight concave. Easy with some small tools.
Re-think the project. Use the appropriate size pipe saddle to straddle the stove and then use a Backcountry boiler or Kelly Kettle to harness the heat up the center of the kettle and the outside. The saddle is dual purpose, think windscreen :-)
Temporarily fasten the saddle to the stove. Place kettle inside the saddle.
pipe saddle
