Dan, that looks nice – any details on the windscreen?
The actual pot stand is not visible in the videos.
The verticle ribs support the pot at the rim. The connecting seam supports the pot on the side where the pot handles are located. At that location there is about 2 inches of material that touches under the rim of the pot. Material used is titanium.
The ribs are spot welded to prevent excessive expansion, helps maintain grip onto pot so it doesn’t slide down during heating of water(canister stove skirt) .
Are you going to be putting any of these Toaks 650 systems for sale on your website? Or are these experimental prototypes?
I’ll be doing some extensive testing for the next week to make sure everything is good to go. Need to see what alcohol stove will work well with the pot support/windscreen. So far the esbit and remote canister work well. The system is very stable, support extends well beyond the diameter of the pot, no need for a cone shaped support. Cones were originally designed for tall, full size Foster beer can pots. Todays pots are short, close to the ground. Straight wall pot support/windscreens are very efficient.
I will be making 2 dozen Toaks Light 650 kits during the next week utilizing the straight wall design.
