Wife has the Snow Peak 700 pot/cup, which she likes & has used with a canister stove. I tried it with a "Skurka" style alky stove and also a Roy Robinson cat stove, but it hasn't worked well. The small diameter of the pot seems not to have good heat transfer with these stoves, and the cook time is very long. Has anyone used this pot successfully with an alky stove & if so what stove and config? Thanks!
Spoiled by one of the resident retards, but I put up a thread awhile back about Four Dog Stove's Bushcooker LT Mini, which works fine with the Trek 700. Has some pics and boil times with 24oz of water.
Wow, that's great. I'm surprised there's no wind screen around the pot. Is that not an issue in windy conditions? I'm used to having a wind screen that wraps the lower part of the pot (up to the handles). I sure like that everything fits inside the pot.
Caldera Cone
I use my SP 700 as my day hike setup with my custom FeatherLite QS pop can stove. It's a wicked double-wall that blooms in about 10 seconds, is super efficient, and works great with the folding Vargo wind screen I have. The addition of the cotton duck DRASTICALLY reduces the bloom time. This is a direct Trangia construction ripoff.
It's just this stove with cotton duck JB welded to the internal double-wall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-35L_xdtQE
Use some HD aluminum foil and dedicate some of your time and you'll have a great free solution. I'd recommend using this setup with a piece of HD aluminum foil or the likes under the stove to avoid scorching the ground or lighting any duff on fire due to the low-to-the-ground flame height.

I gave it away with the traveling hikers box but I believe the gram weenie worked very well with this pot if you can find one I don't think they're made anymore
It’s hard to get efficiency with such a narrow pot unless you have something like a Caldera Cone set up that entrains the exhaust gasses. You might do better, honestly, just getting a wider pot. The Evernew 0.9 L and 1.3 L pots are really really nice in my opinion.
What you want to avoid is flames coming up around the sides. Any time you have flames coming up around the sides, you’re wasting heat, and your stove isn’t going to be efficient.
Note how flames are spilling up around the pot on the left. You don’t want that.
The best fix is a wider pot.
