custom Lite Trail cook Kit

[Rand Lindsly]

Thanks Dan! We're really hammered too right now just trying to keep the standard "fare" shipping…..not a lot of cycles to do oddball custom cones right now. As to sidewinders in this size range, we do have the "standard fare" Evernew 600ml as well as the 400ml solutions on the website!

Rand :-)

Of course we, or at least I, understand Dan. I can only speak for me but the OP's kit checks a lot of boxes that I can't find anywhere else so if your two companies decided to collaborate to put this together as a bundle, I can guarantee you one customer.

[Matthew H]

Totally agree. I love the look of the 400ml setup. The small size etc.. but I just need that two cups of water. The Litetrail system is great, but adding the caldera cone for the better wind protection and alcohol = awesomeness. I think there's a big market for it. Here at least.

[Donna C]

Just too darn sweet to pass up. If I had the tools and know-how, I would be on this and retire!
And then I would be over-worked and depressed because I couldn't get outside. Nevermind! : )

[Ian]

Instead of adding the ridge or a "beer band" to the mug, why couldn't we just use stakes? I could see how this might be problematic for alcohol stove users but wouldn't this work ok with the gram cracker?

[Eric Blumensaadt]

Yet another Caldera Cone fancier.

That's my favorite ESBIT stove and winter wood stove (W/Inferno conversion kit).

[Dan Yeruski]

Ian B. I think that's what Dan Durston originally did. He's the pioneer of the modified cones.

[Brian Johns]

I have the lighter LT550 and I got a Ti cone – not a sidewinder – for it, and it's the most efficient set I have. I also do esbit on back and alky on top of a StarLyte stove. Fave setup ever. May need to try the fits-inside model for wolf me concerns but not likely this year.

I would buy this kit in a second if it ever became available. I now have a Toaks 550 pot with the Evernew companion cup sidewinder cone. I'm using stakes to hold the pot and a Brian Green Esbit Stove. It works great but wouldn't mind ditching the stakes

[DAN-Y]

Checking to see if there is still interest in a kit using the pot without handle and those interested in the pot with handle. Kit will be made to use esbit/BGET burner and the StarLyte alcohol burner.

 

[Chad B]

A Toaks 550, no handles, Caldera style cone . . . I would be very interested in that.

[Matthew / BPL]

Dan, I’d be interested. I’m currently using the Toaks 550ml esbit setup with their foil screen, your tray stove and your wire mesh stand. I’d love to see how much more it can be optimized from there!

[Jennifer Mitol]

I WANT!

[Nick Gatel]

Jennifer, you can’t have one. You have to exercise restraint. Focus on THE goal.

;)

 

[Jerry Adams]

beans and rice, rice and beans : )

[Jennifer Mitol]

I KNOW!!!!!!  BUT I STILL WANT……..

ok, can’t have, but still want.  I’m out Dan….

thanks guys…love you!

[Jerry Adams]

why is it Nick and I have the same idea about personal spending, but he thinks welfare is the cause of the obesity epidemic but I think it’s food manufacturers getting us to eat sugar and fat? : )

Dan,

I own the version produced by Lite Trail and have both windscreen version 1.0 and 2.0.  I think I sold off version 1.0 with another Toaks pot last year.  I really like this kit and have logged more miles with it than any other.  I however do not care for the windscreen and think it’s its weak link.  I’ve used the Ti Tri stand/burner with a few different cook kits and think it works well enough but am always interested in refining my kit.

I am interested in a version that’s paired with a Caldera Cone and comes with the BGET esbit burner and Starlyte stove.  If something like this goes into production, you can mark me down as a for sure sale.

[Ken Thompson]

If Jen received one as a gift…

[Nick Gatel]

Maybe I’ll give her one if she behaves in Chaff.

[Ken Thompson]

I’ll get her one if she misbehaves. It’s more fun that way.

[Nick Gatel]

I have used the Lite Trail System a lot. To be honest, the windscreen and Esbit stove were okay; I’m not going to stress out trying to squeeze out a little more efficiency.

I finally got to the point where I just wanted to boil more water. I was happier with more hot water for additional hot drinks with my meals. I slept warmer and had a better frame of mind. 850-900 ml pot simply made my trips much more enjoyable.

I don’t think anyone is going to come up with an efficient Esbit system lighter than a TD GVP Keg system, other than buying a smaller keg from Dan Y. The “newer” kegs with additional ridges are much stronger now.

 

[Aaron D]

Dan,

I would be interested in a non handled Toaks 550 pot with ridge.   Where might one get the Sidewinder caldera cone to match up with it?  Just a custom order from trail designs?  Does the eby265 matching cone work?

[Matthew / BPL]

Now that I have already stated that I want one I realize that I am not sure what is being discussed here. If it’s a ridged, no handle Toaks 550 with a Sidewinder cone then I want one very much!

If we are talking about something else please explain.
