Looking for a light weight lid

You're probably thinking of Ruta Locura (for CARBON fiber lids).

I think you're looking for Ruta Locura – I have a lightweight ti lid from them. very well made.

That's the name I was looking for…thanks so much for all the help!! :-)

But he doesn't sell them for an Evernew 600. :(

You can always order some Ti Foil from Ti Goat and make a lid. Do not let the word foil fool you, this is not aluminum foil, this is more like thin Ti sheeting. I made both a lid and an identical sized heat reflector for under my stove. they are over a year old now and have quite a few nights on them with no issues. Just make sure to punch a small hole in the lid, so that steam can escape, and you can hook it with either a small stick or similar to lift the lid off.

As I've mentioned before, it is pretty easy to purchase a carbon fiber sheet as a sample, then cut it into a round with scissors. To fashion a handle in the center, I used a dot of epoxy to fasten an inch of silicone string.

You want a sheet that is about as thick as a piece of very stiff paper. It will be only slightly flexible, but that is virtually unbreakable.

Anybody knows if there's any health issues to consider regarding the use of carbon sheet for a lid?

Wash it off before the first use.

In practice, don't try to melt it and inhale the fumes.

Other than that, in normal use it is pretty impervious to food, water, or steam.

Thanks Bob. I can handle that :-).

I would like to find some carbon sheet that's stiff enough to protect my Sidewinder cone during storage and transportation in the pot in my pack, but of course still be light enough to be worth the effort of making the lid myself.

Are you asking about a Sidewinder aluminum or Sidewinder titanium cone?

I would think that simply transporting it curled up inside the pot would be sufficient protection. I mean, isn't that the whole purpose about the Sidewinder dimensions?

Still, I think that you will find that most carbon fiber sheets tend toward being very stiff to being semi-flexible. Are you looking for something that is very flexible?

I do and will continue to store the titanium sidewinder cone in my flat Evernew 600ML pot. I just want a lighter lid that's still stiff enough to protect the cone during transport. I would for an example not trust a kitchen aluminium lid for this.
